Drake London returned from a four-game absence with a knee injury in Week 16 at Arizona, and he struggled with three catches for 27 yards on eight targets. Hopefully, London will improve in Week 17 against the Rams.
The good news for London is he was thrown right back into the mix for the Falcons. He played 69 percent of the snaps against the Cardinals, and while he was third on the team in targets behind Bijan Robinson (11) and Kyle Pitts (nine), he still had plenty of opportunities.
I’m hopeful Week 16 was the shake-the-rust-off game for London, and he should do better against the Rams, who are No. 9 in most Fantasy points allowed to opposing receivers. There have been five receivers who have scored at least 17.4 PPR points against Los Angeles in the past four games, including Michael Wilson, Amon-Ra St. Brown, Jameson Williams, and Jaxon Smith-Njigba, all scoring at least 23.6 PPR points.
London was producing like that before he was injured in Week 11 against Carolina. And, if healthy, he can return to that level again in Week 17. He’s worth using as a No. 2 Fantasy receiver in all leagues.
