London leads in targets, deals with knee issue

Falcons WR Drake London posted just a 4-35 receiving line in Sunday's loss to the Buccaneers. He did lead the team in targets, though, claiming 28% of QB Marcus Mariota's pass attempts. Mariota also took 5 sacks and turned another 4 dropbacks into scrambles. London's situation was complicated by a 4th-quarter knee injury, according to Josh Kendall of The Athletic. London reportedly never entered the sideline injury tent but did wind up playing his smallest snap share of the season (67%). He trailed WR Olamide Zaccheaus in snaps and routes. Assuming there's no lasting damage to London's knee, he'll face a 49ers defense in Week 6 that just lost CB Emmanuel Moseley to a likely ACL tear.
