Overview

  • London is officially questionable for Week 11 with an illness and a back designation after missing Wednesday and logging limited practices Thursday and Friday.
  • Ian Rapoport and Adam Schefter report the wideout is expected or planning to play against Carolina.
  • Schefter notes London became ill after Atlanta’s recent game in Berlin.
  • If he were a late scratch, Darnell Mooney would be the preferred fill-in with Kyle Pitts and David Sills V likely to see more targets.
  • London enters Week 11 as a top fantasy receiver, and his availability is significant for a 3-6 Falcons team trying to keep pace in the NFC South against the 5-5 Panthers.
