Drake London Not Seen at Thursday's Practice

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Drake London (knee) was not seen at the portion of practice open to the media on Thursday, according to D. Orlando Ledbetter of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution. The Falcons say that London remains day-to-day, but he has yet to practice this week and looks headed toward a third straight absence due to a sprained PCL that he suffered in Week 11. The 24-year-old has been doing some running on the side, though, and there is one more day for him to return to the practice field. Receiver David Sills V has scored a touchdown in both games that London has missed, but it has come on just four receptions (seven targets) and 31 yards. Darnell Mooney had three catches, a season-high 74 yards, and a TD in Week 12 with London out, but he caught just two passes for 25 yards in the Week 13 loss to the Jets. Mooney and tight end Kyle Pitts Sr. will see most of the targets in the passing game for Atlanta if London is ruled out again this weekend against the Seahawks.

Drake London Not Ready to Return to Practice

Atlanta Falcons head coach Raheem Morris said that wide receiver Drake London (knee) will not practice on Wednesday, but he remains day-to-day, per Josh Kendall of The Athletic. "We will check him out. He'll be doing some running on the side," Morris said. It's not a great start for London, but he still has two more days to get back on the field as he tries to get cleared to play in Week 14 against the Seattle Seahawks. The 24-year-old has not played since spraining his PCL in the Week 11 loss to the Carolina Panthers. Although London's fantasy ceiling won't be as high when he returns with quarterback Kirk Cousins running the offense for the rest of the year, he'll still be a must-start in all fantasy lineups. If London misses a third straight game this weekend, it will keep Darnell Mooney on the WR4/flex radar while also elevating the ceiling of tight end Kyle Pitts Sr.

Darnell Mooney Fails to Produce With Star Teammate Out

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Darnell Mooney failed to take advantage of Drake London (knee) being out of the lineup in Week 13 against the New York Jets, recording just two receptions for 25 yards on five targets. The 28-year-old easily had his best game of the season in Week 12 against the Saints with London out, hauling in all three targets for 74 yards and a touchdown, but he didn't find the same success on Sunday despite a favorable matchup. It's been a disappointing year for the former Chicago Bear, as he has yet to record five or more catches in a game after doing so seven times in 16 games last year. The Atlanta offense isn't as effective with Kirk Cousins under center in place of Michael Penix Jr., either, but Mooney was still expected to take on a larger role in London's absence. Mooney is just a fringe top-40 option at wide receiver at this point in the season, especially with London potentially returning as early as Week 14 against the Seattle Seahawks. Mooney is probably only worth a starting lineup spot in fantasy football this weekend if London misses another game.

Is Kirk Cousins a Streaming Option if Top Receiver Returns in Week 14?

Atlanta Falcons quarterback Kirk Cousins completed 21 of his 33 passes for 234 yards with a touchdown and no interceptions in Sunday's 27-24 loss to the Jets. The 37-year-old looked Kyle Pitts Sr.'s way most often (eight targets), which has been the case in each of his three starts this season, but again spread the ball around, with seven different receivers earning two or more targets, and he also found David Sills V for a touchdown pass for the second straight week. The veteran QB draws a tough matchup in Week 14 as the Falcons host the Seahawks in Atlanta, a defense that has been in the bottom third in terms of fantasy points allowed to opposing quarterbacks. It will at least be a home matchup, and there is still a chance that the team's No. 1 receiver, Drake London (knee), will return for Sunday's contest. Even so, Cousins figures to be in the lower end of the QB2 ranks in Week 14.

Is David Sills V in Line for More Work After Recording Another Touchdown Catch?

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver David Sills V hauled in two of his four targets for 15 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 27-24 loss to the Jets. It was the second consecutive week in which the 29-year-old secured a touchdown pass from quarterback Kirk Cousins. Surely fantasy managers who were desperate enough to deploy Sills were happy with the results, but there may not be much room for this hot stretch to run with such low volume being directed at the veteran and with the potential for Drake London (knee) to return in Week 14 against the Seahawks. Interested managers may consider picking up the 6-foot-3 wideout off the waiver wire, then monitor practice reports for the rest of the week, and if London returns, cut bait with Sills. Seattle has been tough against the pass this season, but it's at least a home matchup in Atlanta on Sunday.

Tyler Allgeier • RB • Falcons

Tyler Allgeier Remains a Touchdown-Dependent RB Option

Atlanta Falcons running back Tyler Allgeier has been a headache all season long for fantasy managers. Allgeier is the backup to Bijan Robinson, but he continues to vulture touchdowns in goal-line situations. For example, Allgeier rushed eight times for 20 yards and a touchdown during last week's loss to the New York Jets. His touchdown plunge came from just one yard out after Robinson was held to no gain on the play before. This has been a theme all season long, as Allgeier has eight rushing touchdowns, but only 344 yards on the ground. That being said, Allgeier will remain a touchdown-dependent option ahead of the team's Week 14 matchup against the Seattle Seahawks. It's a tough matchup for Allgeier against an elite Seahawks run defense (they allow the second-fewest rushing yards per game), so fantasy managers in 12-team formats should be able to find someone that isn't so reliant on TDs.

Kyle Pitts Sr. Leads Team in Receiving, Will He Provide an Encore in Week 14?

Atlanta Falcons tight end Kyle Pitts Sr. led the team in receiving in Sunday's 27-24 loss to the Jets, securing seven of his eight targets for 82 yards, all of which were team highs. The 25-year-old has been Kirk Cousins' favorite receiving option this season, averaging around seven targets in each of the three contests Cousins has been under center. Sunday's yardage total was Pitts' highest output of the season, and he'll have a chance to keep the momentum going in Week 14 against a Seattle defense that is one of the most generous in the league in terms of allowing fantasy points to opposing tight ends. If Drake London (knee) were to miss a third straight week, that would be a boon to the 6-foot-6 tight end's chances for another productive fantasy day, so make sure to keep an eye on the injury reports. Expect Pitts to be a lower-end TE1 with upside if London is out against the Seahawks.

Drake London "has a Chance" to Play in Week 14

Atlanta Falcons head coach Raheem Morris said on Monday that wide receiver Drake London (knee) is moving to "day-to-day" this week and "certainly has a chance" to play this weekend against the Seattle Seahawks in Week 14, according to Tori McElhaney of AtlantaFalcons.com. London has missed the team's last two games due to a PCL sprain in his knee, but the 24-year-old is making progress and could be active this weekend if he can do enough in practice this week to be cleared. It would be a huge boost for the 4-8 Falcons, but considering they aren't in playoff contention, it doesn't make sense for the team to rush their best receiver back. London will be a must-start in fantasy football when he returns, but his ceiling will be lowered with veteran quarterback Kirk Cousins running the offense for the rest of the year. London has a 60-810-6 line on 94 targets in nine games played in 2025.

Bijan Robinson Compiles 191 Total Yards, Touchdown in Loss to Jets

Atlanta Falcons running back Bijan Robinson went off on Sunday against the New York Jets despite the 27-24 loss, recording 23 carries for 142 yards and a touchdown along with five receptions (seven targets) for 51 yards as a receiver. Robinson was excellent once again and was the engine of Atlanta's offense in this game, accounting for 191 of 389 total yards of offense for the Falcons. It marks the second-most total yards in a game this season for the superstar running back, only trailing his 238-yard performance back in Week 6 against the Buffalo Bills. The 23-year-old is one of the best receiving backs in football and has six games this season with at least five receptions, with Sunday being his first since Week 9 against the Patriots. Robinson remains one of the top running backs in fantasy, but faces a tough matchup in Week 14 against the Seattle Seahawks.

Darnell Mooney Looks to Continue Building Positive Momentum

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Darnell Mooney scored his first touchdown of the season in Week 12 against the New Orleans Saints, hauling in all three targets for 74 yards. It was also Mooney's most receiving yards in a game this season as he took advantage of star wide receiver Drake London (knee) being sidelined. With London ruled out again for Week 13, Mooney should be in line to lead the Atlanta passing attack again versus the New York Jets. The 28-year-old has a solid rapport with quarterback Kirk Cousins and should be able to exploit a Jets defense that traded away its two best defenders at the deadline. Mooney ranks as RotoBaller's WR32 in PPR formats for Week 13.

Zane Gonzalez Looks to Stay Perfect in Week 13 Against Jets

Atlanta Falcons kicker Zane Gonzalez went 3-for-3 on field goals last week, including nailing one from 56 yards out, and is now 6-for-6 in three games as the team's place kicker. The 30-year-old is also perfect on extra points, going 6-for-6 over the three-game stretch. The team's third kicker this season has appeared to have brought some stability to the position, and will look to stay perfect on the road against the Jets in Week 13. He could have to deal with light rain in East Rutherford, but in a game with a low expected total (38.5) with the potential for stalled drives, Gonzalez could see a couple opportunities to convert field goals. Even so, the Arizona State product projects well outside the top 12, so there could be better options available in games with higher totals and/or being played indoors.

Tyler Allgeier • RB • Falcons

Tyler Allgeier a Low-Floor Fantasy Option in Week 13

Atlanta Falcons running back Tyler Allgeier garnered double-digit carries in Week 12, rushing 12 times for 44 yards, and even received one target, which he caught for five yards. Unfortunately for fantasy managers who deployed him as a Flex option, the 25-year-old was unable to find the end zone as he'd done in three of the four previous weeks and seven times this season. The BYU product could see a similar workload in Week 13 in what should be a competitive contest versus the Jets, with the Falcons as three-point road favorites. New York has yielded the ninth-most half-point PPR points to opposing running backs this season, but in what projects to be a low-scoring affair, Allgeier will continue to be a risky RB3/Flex that, if he doesn't score, comes with a very low floor.

David Sills V a Speculative WR Option in Deep Leagues

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver David Sills V made the most of his opportunity last week with Drake London (knee) absent, hauling in two of his three targets for 16 yards and one touchdown. London has been ruled out for Week 13 again, so Sills should get an opportunity to be fantasy relevant for a second straight game on Sunday. The 29-year-old will have to share looks with Darnell Mooney, Kyle Pitts Sr., Bijan Robinson, and others, so the veteran wideout is nothing more than a speculative flier in very deep leagues, especially given that Sunday's matchup versus the Jets is expected to be a low-scoring affair against a defense that has been fairly good against the pass in recent weeks.

Kyle Pitts Sr. a Volume-Dependent TE1 in Week 13

Atlanta Falcons tight end Kyle Pitts Sr. hauled in just two passes for 25 scoreless yards in Week 12, but despite the limited production, the 25-year-old is now 2-for-2 in leading the team in targets in the two games this season with Kirk Cousins at the helm. The other commonality in those two contests was that Drake London (knee) was absent, which will again be the case on Sunday against the Jets. While that is a positive for Pitts' prospects this week, the 6-foot-6 tight end has found the end zone just one time this season. The Jets are middle of the pack in terms of yielding fantasy points to opposing tight ends, but this game has one of the lowest expected totals on the slate (39.5) and with a low chance of scoring, the former first-rounder projects as a volume-dependent low-end TE1.

Kirk Cousins a Low-End QB2 for Week 13 Matchup Vs. Jets

Atlanta Falcons quarterback Kirk Cousins threw for 199 yards and a pair of touchdowns (one interception, too) last week in his second start of the season and first since Week 8. The veteran was able to put that solid fantasy performance together despite completing just 16 passes (23 attempts). It could be tough sledding in Week 13 in a road matchup against the Jets, a defense that has yielded the tenth-fewest pass yards per game (194.6) on the season and eighth-fewest over the past three weeks (181.3). Not only that, the 37-year-old will be without the team's top receiving option, Drake London (knee), for the second straight week. Fold in a low implied total of 39.5 for this game (21 for Atlanta) and the fact that the Falcons may lean more heavily on Bijan Robinson and Tyler Allgeier, it leaves Cousins as a low-end QB2 in Week 13.

Darnell Mooney is Atlanta's No. 1 Wide Receiver in Week 13

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Darnell Mooney is set to be the team's No. 1 wideout again with Drake London (knee) having been ruled out for the second consecutive week. Kirk Cousins only attempted 23 passes in Week 12 and spread the ball around to seven different receivers, so Mooney was limited to just three targets, however, he converted all three for catches and tallied 74 yards with a touchdown. In what is expected to be a low-scoring affair on Sunday, there may not be a lot of passing again, which will dampen the veteran's outlook. The Jets are also middle of the pack against the pass this season in terms of fantasy points allowed and are a bit more generous against the run, so it all leaves the 28-year-old as a mid-range WR3 for Sunday's tilt with New York.

David Sills V a Deep-League Option in Week 13

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver David Sills V caught his first touchdown of the season in Week 12 against the New Orleans Saints, finishing with two receptions for 16 yards on three targets. Sills took advantage of superstar wideout Drake London (knee) missing the game, playing 69.6% of the snaps while setting a season high in receiving yards. The production was still modest, but it was positive to see the veteran see usage down near the goal line. London is set to miss at least one more game in Week 13, setting up Sills to see a healthy number of routes again against the New York Jets. The expected volume of routes makes Sills an option in deep leagues for Week 13.

Kyle Pitts Sr. a Riskier Fantasy Play With Veteran QB in Starting Role

Atlanta Falcons tight end Kyle Pitts Sr. will get a juicy matchup in Week 13 against a vulnerable New York Jets defense, though he'll again lose a bit of upside with veteran Kirk Cousins calling signals. The former Florida Gator is Atlanta's third-leading receiver in terms of yardage behind wide receiver Drake London (knee) and running back Bijan Robinson. However, Pitts Sr. has seen his opportunity dip in recent weeks while London had gone on a tear. Even London's absence in Week 12 wasn't enough to push the 25-year-old into startable territory, notching his fourth straight outing with a single-digit fantasy total in PPR leagues. With London out again, Pitts Sr. should benefit from an elevated target share, but his production will primarily hinge on Cousins' play. He's a fringey TE1 for his matchup with New York.

Bijan Robinson • RB • Falcons

Bijan Robinson Remains a High-End RB1 in Week 13

Atlanta Falcons running back Bijan Robinson has had at least 88 yards from scrimmage in 10 of 11 games this season, but with six total touchdowns, he's well off the 15-touchdown pace he set in 2024. The 23-year-old draws a favorable matchup in Week 13 on the road against the Jets, a defense that has yielded the ninth-most half-point PPR points to opposing running backs this season. The former first-rounder has seen his target share drop dramatically in the two games he's played with Kirk Cousins under center, going from 20.3 percent to 9.3 percent, but he still has a large enough role with plenty of upside to be one of the top running back options week in and week out. In a game that the Falcons are favored by just 2.5 points, it should be a competitive contest throughout, and without top receiver Drake London (knee), Atlanta could favor the run game. Even though Tyler Allgeier has eaten into his workload near the goal line, Robinson is a threat to break off a big play every time he touches the ball, and projects as a top-five back this week in the Meadowlands.

Drake London Officially Ruled Out for Week 13

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Drake London (knee) has officially been ruled out for his team's Week 13 matchup against the New York Jets, per ESPN's Marc Raimondi. London suffered a PCL injury in Week 11 that will now sideline him for at least two games. His absence creates a major void in Atlanta's passing game, as London has recorded 60 receptions for 810 yards and six touchdowns on 94 targets across the nine games he's been healthy for in 2025. With London sidelined in Week 12 against the New Orleans Saints, tight end Kyle Pitts led the team in targets with five. Wide receiver Darnell Mooney led the team with 74 receiving yards, and he was one of four Falcons to see exactly three targets from quarterback Kirk Cousins. Mooney profiles as a low-end fantasy WR3 in Week 13 against New York.
