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.

The Atlanta Falcons have ruled out wide receiver Drake London for their upcoming matchup with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
Drake London will miss his fourth straight game for the Atlanta Falcons when they take on the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Thursday night. London suffered a PCL sprain in week 11 and hasn’t played since.
The Falcons have called London day-to-day since he suffered the injury but he’s now going on a full month without playing. It’s possible Atlanta is being overly cautious with their star wide receiver in a lost season.
With London out expect Kyle Pitts, who is listed as questionable himself, to see an uptick in targets and the offense to run through Bijan Robinson.

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Drake London is set to miss his third straight game with a knee injury.
Drake London suffered a knee injury in the week 11 overtime loss to the Carolina Panthers. Week 14 will mark the 3rd straight he will miss, he also missed the week 8 game against the Miami Dolphins. When London is on the field, he is unstoppable. In 9 games he has 60 catches, 810 receiving yards and 6 touchdowns. Those number has produced 19.7 fantasy points per game, that makes him the 5th most productive player on the season.
Losing London this close to the fantasy playoffs is a massive blow. He has likely helped you to a winning season thus fa. The biggest beneficiary to the loss of London has been tight end Kyle Pitts. Hopefully, London will return in time for the fantasy playoffs.

Atlanta Falcons star wide receiver Drake London is close to returning in Week 14 against the Seattle Seahawks
After missing the last two weeks with a PCL sprain, reports out of Atlanta indicate that Drake London is considered day-to-day and has a chance to play versus the Seahawks.
London was having a great season before the injury, recording 60 receptions for 810 yards and six touchdowns and five wide receiver one weeks in PPR formats. Getting London back would be a boost for the Falcons, who have lost six of the last seven games. He will be a must-start once he returns, but his production may be capped with Kirk Cousins behind center.

Drake London will need at least another week with recovery from a PCL injury.
Drake London will miss Sunday’s road matchup with the Jets as the Falcons aim to stay in playoff contention. At 4-7 and 2 games back of the Panthers and Buccaneers for the division, it appears those hopes are slipping away.
London is sitting as the WR7 overall in fantasy and has had 3 WR1 overall games this season. With Kirk Cousins taking over for an injured Michael Penix Jr., the Falcons will turn to Darnell Mooney and Kyle Pitts in the passing game. Expect the offense to primarily run through both Bijan Robinson and Tyler Allgeier. The Falcons get the Seahawks at home in Week 14 where fantasy managers will cling to hope that London can return.

Atlanta Falcons number one wide receiver Drake London is expected to miss at least one week with a PCL sprain.
Drake London suffered the injury yesterday in the Atlanta Falcons 30-27 overtime loss at the hands of the Carolina Panthers. London had seven catches for 119 yards before leaving with the injury.
The Falcons fell to 3-7 on the season with the loss to the Panthers, with their season circling the drain there’s a chance that they take their time with London, prioritizing his health and recovery. On the year London has 60 receptions for 810 yards and six touchdowns.
London had been playing really well this season, proving to belong among the best wide receivers in the game. If London misses a significant amount of time Kyle Pitts could find himself as the top pass catcher for the Falcons.
