After missing a handful of weeks due to a knee injury, Atlanta Falcons<\/a> wide receiver Drake London made his return to the field in Week 16.<\/p>\n

But London is once again not a lock to play this week, as he’s on the injury report and is\u00a0listed as questionable<\/a>\u00a0after practicing on a limited basis all week.<\/p>\n

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

Is Drake London playing tonight?<\/p>\n

London is expected to play in Week 17.<\/p>\n

During the week, head coach Raheem Morris said he felt “great” about London’s chances<\/a> of suiting up.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

Drake London start or sit advice<\/p>\n

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

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.<\/p>\n

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

Don’t overthink things. London should be locked into lineups this week, assuming he’s active.<\/p>\n

Verdict: Start<\/strong><\/p>\n
