Shark Bites are the latest fantasy football news & NFL updates. Draft Sharks has been in business since 1999. And when we started, redraft was the dominant form of fantasy football. Check out what we've learned about this most basic form of fantasy football along the way.
Falcons WR Drake London tallied 8 receptions for 97 yards on 12 targets in Sunday's loss to the Saints. He led the team in all three categories, an especially nice showing after London entered the game questionable with the hip injury that knocked him out of Week 9.
Falcons WR Drake London (hip) is active for today’s game vs. the Saints. He was limited in practice all week and listed as questionable, but London’s injury never seemed serious. His floor might be a bit lower than usual this week, but London still belongs in the vast majority of fantasy lineups.
Falcons WR Drake London (hip) is expected to play against the Saints on Sunday, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. London is listed as questionable, but he got in three limited practices this week and never seemed to be dealing with a significant injury. There's a bit more risk with London this week, but he belongs in the vast majority of fantasy lineups.
Falcons WR Drake London (hip) is listed as questionable for Sunday’s game vs. the Saints. He was limited in practice all week. Reports on London’s injury and status for this one have been positive, so we’re tentatively expecting him to play. But we’ll keep you updated on the situation and get Atlanta’s inactives around 11:30 am ET on Sunday.
Falcons WR Drake London (hip) got in a limited practice on Wednesday. The fact that he did anything this early in the week bodes well for his availability for Sunday's game vs. the Saints. We're tentatively projecting London to play in that one but will keep you updated on his status.
Falcons HC Raheem Morris labeled WR Drake London "day to day" with his hip and oblique injuries. It's the latest indication that London dodged a significant injury. He seemingly has a chance to play vs. the Saints on Sunday, but we'll keep you posted on his status throughout the week.
Falcons WR Drake London suffered a hip pointer and an oblique strain in Sunday's win over the Cowboys, according to Underdog's James Palmer. "It doesn't appear to be a serious concern," Palmer adds. The injuries were enough to keep London out of the Dallas game, but it sounds like he has a chance to be available for next weekend's meeting with the Saints. We'll keep tabs on London's status throughout this coming week.
Falcons WR Darnell Mooney recorded 5 catches, 88 yards, and 1 score in a Week 9 win over Dallas. Mooney saw a team-high 9 targets – a huge 37.5% share – boosted by the first-half departure of Drake London (hip).
Falcons WR Drake London suffered a hip injury in the first quarter of Sunday's game vs. the Cowboys and is officially questionable to return. We'll update his status when we know more.
Update: London was ruled out in the second quarter.
Falcons WR Drake London only caught four of his six targets for 34 yards in the Falcons win over the Buccaneers. On a day when QB Kirk Cousins threw for 276 yards and four TDs, London came up on the short end of the stick.
Falcons WR Drake London has caught a TD in three straight games and in five of the last six. He finished catching 6-of-8 targets against the Seahawks for 63 yards and a TD.
Falcons WR Drake London caught 12 of 13 targets for 154 yards and a score in Thursday night's 36-30 overtime win over the Bucs. Atlanta attacked the seams of Tampa Bay's Cover 3 defense all night, with London doing a lot of the damage. He opened the scoring with an 18-yard catch-and-run TD on the first drive of the game. London created big separation and then spun off a would-be tackler to get into the end zone. He had four other catches of 15+ yards on the night, including an 18-yarder on third and three in overtime. London appeared to suffer a chest injury on that catch and exited the game. WR KhaDarel Hodge, filling in for London, scored the game-winning TD on the next play. London did a post-game interview and was going bananas in the post-game locker room celebration, though, so it doesn't seem like the injury is serious.
Falcons WR Drake London had another solid game leading the Falcons in targets on Sunday Night Football. He ended the game catching six of his nine targets for 67 yards and an early TD.
Drake London tallied 6 receptions for 54 yards and a TD in Monday night's win at Philadelphia. His 7 targets tied for the team lead and constituted 24% of QB Kirk Cousins' pass attempts for the game. London's fantasy line would have looked much worse, however, without a 7-yard TD catch near the end of regulation.
Falcons WR Drake London was only able to haul in two passes for 15 yards against the Steelers, drawing only three targets. QB Kirk Cousins only completed 16 passes in the game, and London drew four less targets than WR Ray Ray McCloud.
Falcons WR Rondale Moore will miss the 2024 season after suffering a knee injury in Wednesday's practice, NFL Network reports. We don't have any details yet on the injury.
Falcons QB Kirk Cousins (Achilles) has been medically cleared for training camp and will take all first-team reps while QBs Michael Penix Jr. and Taylor Heinicke split second-team reps.
Pro Football Talk's Mike Florio writes that he has "very credible indications" that QB Kirk Cousins is "seriously considering" a move to Atlanta to sign with the Falcons. Cousins' wife grew up near Atlanta, and the Falcons "have always been the top alternative to the Vikings for Cousins," per Florio. Cousins would be a nice fit playing indoors in new OC Zac Robinson's offense with WR Drake London, TE Kyle Pitts, and RB Bijan Robinson. Likewise, a move for Cousins would be excellent news for the fantasy value of Atlanta's key weapons. We should know who Cousins will be playing for in 2024 within the next couple of weeks.
The Falcons are hiring Zac Robinson as their new OC under HC Raheem Morris, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. The 37-year-old Robinson played QB at Oklahoma State from 2006 to 2009. He was selected in the seventh round of the 2010 NFL draft by the Patriots but never attempted a regular-season pass across four seasons. Robinson then spent some time working as an analyst for Pro Football Focus before joining Sean McVay's Rams in 2019 as assistant QB coach. Robinson worked his way up to QB coach and passing-game coordinator over the last two seasons, but this will be his first time calling plays. Robinson's new offense has plenty of skill-position talent in RB Bijan Robinson, WR Drake London, and TE Kyle Pitts, but QB remains a major question mark. Atlanta currently holds the eighth overall pick in this spring's draft.
Falcons WR Drake London had a difficult go in Week 17, catching just 4 of 10 targets for 56 receiving yards vs. the Bears. The second-year wideout ends the fantasy season, having posted six top-30 weekly finishes in PPR scoring, two of which were top-5 performances. London didn’t have a terrible season by any means, but he only saw a bump in PPR points per game from 10.5 in 2022 to 11.1 this year. The bulk of his troubles come from inconsistent volume (6.7 targets per game) and the poor QB play from Desmond Ridder and Taylor Heinicke. Still, he’ll be entering his age-23 season in 2024 and did manage to put up consecutive seasons of 800+ receiving yards. London has a chance to see Atlanta make a QB upgrade in the offseason. Such a move would help his case of potentially elevating his value above being a low-end WR2 in dynasty formats, but we’ll have to remain in ‘wait-and-see’ mode on that front.
