But London is once again not a lock to play this week, as he’s on the injury report and is listed as questionable after practicing on a limited basis all week.

Ahead of the Monday night game against the Los Angeles Rams in Week 17, here’s the latest on London’s status for the contest, along with some start or sit advice for fantasy football.

Is Drake London playing tonight?

London is expected to play in Week 17.

During the week, head coach Raheem Morris said he felt “great” about London’s chances of suiting up.

While a week of limited practices would normally be a red flag, we do know that the Falcons wideout played with less practice last week, when he turned in two limited sessions before being a non-participant on Friday.

We will get final confirmation on London’s status an hour and a half before the 8:15 p.m. ET kickoff on Monday night, but for now it looks like he’ll go.

Drake London start or sit advice

London enters Week 17 ranked as WR6 overall in fantasy points per game, which makes him a must-start WR1 each and every week.

London threw up a dud in Week 16, but he was also in his first game back from an injury and might have had some rust to shake off.

We’d expect him to be better this week, especially against a Rams defense ceding the seventh-most fantasy points per game to wide receivers this season.

Don’t overthink things. London should be locked into lineups this week, assuming he’s active.

Verdict: Start
