Drake London Returns in Week 9, but as WR2 Against the Patriots
Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Drake London (hip) will return to action in Week 9 after missing last week's game with a hip injury. The 24-year-old had been rolling before last week's absence, logging three straight games with double-digit targets and totaling 22 receptions in those contests, including two touchdowns. The 6-foot-4 wideout is the clear-cut No. 1 receiving option in this offense, amassing 27.8 percent target share on the season and 34.1 percent of the team's air yards. He'll take on the Patriots' pass defense in Week 9, which is middle of the pack in terms of fantasy points allowed to wide receivers and pass yards allowed per game (224.4), although they've been stingier more recently, allowing just 192.7 per game over their last three. With the Falcons 4.5-point underdogs in this one, they may be playing from behind, which could mean more passing, but the matchup against cornerback Christian Gonzalez only projects London as a middling WR2 this week.
