The Falcons will have their starting wide receivers when they face the Chargers this week.
Atlanta Falcons beat reporter Marc Raimondi posted on X that the Falcons will have both Drake London and Darnell Mooney for Sunday’s matchup at home versus the Chargers. This is welcome news as London had a midweek hiccup on the injury report and there was concern for Mooney after the bye week regarding his hamstring injury.
The Falcons had a dud of a game in Denver before their week 12 bye. Recency bias is having fantasy gamers down on the Atlanta Falcons. Drake London is the WR-7 and Darnell Mooney is the WR-12. It will be a fool’s errand to fade the Atlanta pass catchers and fantasy weapons as a whole down the stretch.
Drake London is 4th in red zone targets with 16 and 4th in touchdowns with 6 while collecting the 7th most receptions with 61. Darnell Mooney’s 18 deep targets and 1,019 air yards have him ranked 7th and 8th respectively for wide receivers.
Continue to fire up Falcons players with confidence. A lack of confidence in Kirk Cousins is overblown in real football and in fantasy. The Falcons are atop the NFC South and Cousins is supporting 2 top-12 wide receivers.
