Drake London had over 100 receiving yards in the first half of Atlanta's Week 11 loss to Carolina. But London exited in the fourth quarter with a knee injury. If London misses time, Darnell Mooney would be in a position to be the Falcons' No. 1 WR. On Sunday, Mooney played a season-high 61 snaps (92.4%) and drew 7 targets, but again made little impact on the game.

This is the second consecutive game that Mooney earned 7-plus targets. On Sunday, he caught 3 balls for 34 yards. That was the first time that Mooney has topped 20 receiving yards in a game since Week 7.
London appeared to land hard on his left knee after diving for a Kirk Cousins pass in the fourth quarter. London was able to leave the field on his own but did not return.
If London misses time it would be a huge blow for Atlanta's offense and for fantasy managers. London entered Week 11 as the No. 6 WR in PPR scoring.
Mooney is having a tough year after putting up a 64/992/5 line on 106 targets last season. He has only topped 50 receiving yards once all season.
However, if London misses time, Mooney would be Atlanta's top WR, which makes him a potential target on the Week 12 waiver wire. If that happens, Mooney would be on the weekly WR4/flex radar. The Falcons travel to New Orleans next week.
David Sills V, Khaderel Hodge, and Casey Washington would also see more snaps if London misses time.
