The Atlanta Falcons will host the Los Angeles Rams in Week 17. Here’s the latest fantasy football news and advice to help you with your lineups this week and moving forward, specifically regarding WR Drake London.

Should You Start or Sit London in Week 17?
In Weeks 1-11, London was PPR WR3 (19.7 PPG, trailing only Jaxon Smith-Njigba and Puka Nacua), and over the last three weeks (Weeks 9-11), he was the top performer in the position.
Following the strong 2024 showing (100-1,271-9), Atlanta’s ace was viewed as a Tier 2 receiver that fantasy managers could trust at a high level, loyalty that he very much rewarded you for in 2025 before suffering this knee injury.
A knee injury had kept him out since that strong start, but he returned last week to run 30 routes (69.9% snap share) and rack up eight targets against the Cardinals.
I understand that production wasn’t there (5.7 PPR points), but if you told me at any point over the next five seasons that I was getting 8+ targets from London, I’d blindly play him and let the dust settle.
The Rams’ defense is good, but it has had some holes lately. They’ve allowed a receiver to clear 17 points in four straight and the top scoring WR to eclipse his season average in seven of eight games since returning from the bye.
Maybe you’ve seen something I haven’t, but London seems to be as safe a bet to lead his WR room in scoring as just about anyone in the league.
Play London with confidence.
