Drake London Injury Update: Atlanta Falcons WR has missed the last four games with a PCL sprain in his knee, suffered during an overtime loss to the Carolina Panthers. Drake London Injury Update (IMAGN IMAGES via Reuters Connect) Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Drake London is poised to make his return after missing more than one week with a knee injury. The star quarterback, who has been sidelined since NFL Week 12, is expected to face the Arizona Cardinals on Sunday (Dec. 21). This news brings excitement to fans as London’s return could shake up lineups in a big way. Drake London injury update ahead of Cardinals vs Falcons matchup Drake London has missed the last four games with a PCL sprain in his knee, suffered in an overtime loss to the Carolina Panthers. Despite being listed as questionable on the injury report and limited in practice this week, including no participation on Friday, London is expected to play in the Week 16 game. Reports suggest the Falcons expect London to play, which will be his first action since putting up strong numbers earlier in the season. Already eliminated from the playoffs with a 5-9 record, the Atlanta Falcons have little to lose by putting Drake London back in the lineup. His presence will bolster an offense led by quarterback Kirk Cousins, who stepped in after Michael Penix Jr.’s season-ending injury. Drake London’s pre-injury dominance Before the injury, Drake London was one of the top performers at his position. He averaged about 13 fantasy points per game in PPR formats, which ranked as a top-3 wide receiver in points per game. London had over 100 receiving yards in five of six games before his injury, making him a reliable WR. In his return against a stout Arizona defense that has been generous to wideouts of late, Drake should move London right back as a high-end starter. His chemistry with Cousins \u200b\u200bcould lead to immediate production. The impact on teammates Drake London’s return gives a lift to Kirk Cousins’ fantasy value. The veteran QB has shown strong play in recent weeks, and reuniting with his top target should open up the passing game further. However, that could come at the expense of tight end Kyle Pitts. With London sidelined, Pitts emerged as the primary receiving option and put in big performances. London’s return likely redistributes targets. Other Falcons receivers like Darnell Mooney could also see reduced opportunities. NFL Week 16 Outlook Facing a 3-11 Arizona Cardinals team on a long losing streak, the Atlanta Falcons are favored in a game with high scoring potential. Drake London’s health will be monitored until kickoff, but all signs point to him playing.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
