Drake London Status
rotoWire
London caught six of eight targets for 120 yards during Sunday's 30-17 win over Tampa Bay.
What it means:
London briefly went to the locker in the second quarter with a foot injury, but he returned to the contest and finished with a career-high 120 receiving yards during his final game of the 2022 campaign. The rookie first-round pick finished the season strong and totaled 31 receptions on 48 targets for 428 yards over the final five games, including 333 of those yards coming in four contests with Desmond Ridder at the helm. The Falcons are expected to add more quarterback depth this offseason after the Marcus-Mariota experiment failed, but regardless of who's under center, London is expected to be Atlanta's top wideout next year.

Drake London (foot) returns for Falcons in Week 18
What it means:
Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Drake London (foot) returned to the team's Week 18 game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
London briefly exited Sunday's game due to a foot injury, but was able to return to the field shortly afterwards. He has been the most consistent part of the team's passing offense so far today.
London has 4 catches for 66 yards so far in Week 18, and surpassed Kyle Pitts' franchise record for most receptions for a rookie (69).
rotoWire
London (foot) returned to Sunday's game versus the Buccaneers, Scott Bair of the Falcons' official site reports.
What it means:
London went to the locker room in the second quarter and was diagnosed with a foot injury, but he'll attempt to gut it out for the rest of Week 18 and build upon his 26-yard catch from the first half.
rotoWire
London left Sunday's game against the Buccaneers due to a foot injury, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site reports.
What it means:
According to McElhaney, London went to the locker room shortly before the Falcons deemed him questionable to return. If London is unable to do so, he'll finish Week 18 with one catch (on two targets) for 26 yards.

Falcons' Drake London (foot) questionable to return in Week 18
What it means:
Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Drake London (foot) is questionable to return to the team's Week 18 game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
London helped get the Falcons' offense rolling with his 26-yard catch in the first quarter, but suffered a foot injury partway through the first half and is now questionable to return.
London has put up at least 5 catches in each of the Falcons' last four games, and has been the focal point of the team's low-volume pass attack throughout the season.
rotoWire
London recorded five receptions on eight targets for 47 yards in Sunday's 20-19 win over the Cardinals.
What it means:
London finished for the team lead with eight targets, though that was his lowest total since Week 12. Unsurprisingly, he also recorded his lowest reception and yardage total in that span. In addition to lost volume, London was also limited to working in the short areas of the field, as his longest catch went for 13 yards and three of his five receptions went for single-digit gains. Despite the disappointing output, London entered the game having recorded at least 70 receiving yards in three consecutive matchups and is ending his rookie season in strong form.
