Davante Adams
Rams @ Falcons: Davante Adams Doubtful, Drake London is a "Go"
3 weeks ago

With several key players on Monday Night Football, there is good news and bad news on Davante Adams and Drake London.

Monday Night Football features the Rams at the Falcons, and fantasy managers are wringing their hands over whether to start Davante Adams and Drake London. Depending on which side of the fence you’re on, there is good news and bad news.

 

The good news for London managers is that Atlanta’s star wideout, listed as questionable all week, expects to play on MNF per ESPN’s Marc Raimondi. London had said earlier this week that although the team is eliminated, he wants to play all the football he can rather than wait until next season.

 

The news for Adams is not as good. He is currently listed as doubtful, generally a precursor to being ruled out by gametime. This will mark his second-straight game, with hopes to return Week 18, though that is of little consolation to fantasy managers with a championship on the line this week.

 

Fantasy lowdown: London is said not to be limited in the game, barring any exacerbation of his knee injury. The only ripple effect could be the need to temper expectations of tight end Kyle Pitts, although he remains one of Kirk Cousins’ preferred targets.

 

The Rams seem to have stumbled onto the “Davante of the future” in rookie wide receiver Konata Mumpfield. Mumpfield has earned the trust of coaches who have lauded his physical attributes and work ethic. Fantasy Managers on the hunt for a start-worthy piece in a high-scoring affair could do much worse than Mumpfield, as Puke Nacua will have his hands full with Falcons DB A.J. Terrell.
