Made early exit in Week 9 Falcons WR Drake London will have tests done, but the belief is he suffered a hip pointer, source said. While those can be frustrating, they are not long-term issues. (NFL Network - Ian Rapoport) FF Today's Take: HC Raheem Morris told reporters London is considered day-to-day. Fantasy managers should expect a week full of limited practices and a questionable tag on Friday, but it seems likely at this point that London will play in Week 10 against the Saints. Darnell Mooney and Kyle Pitts would likely be asked to pick up more of the slack in the passing game if London needs to sit for a week.
Cousins didn't need to do much more than pound the intermediate against the Cowboys, his longest completion was a 36-yarder to Darnell Mooney on fourth-and-short where Trevon Diggs was picked and Mooney ran untouched into the end zone. The Falcons probably turtled a bit without Drake London. Regardless, Cousins-reliant managers have to be pleased with the line and should be hungry for more against a fading Saints defense in Week 10. Cousins should easily be in the QB1 conversation for that game.
Mooney took an uncovered wheel route to the house and was a constant Atlanta third-down target despite being tightly-covered for most of the rest of the game. It's clear he is Kirk Cousins' most-trusted receiver outside of Drake London, who left early. In the scope of London's first-quarter injury, it's actually a little disappointing that Mooney didn't find even more yardage. If London remains out, Mooney will upgrade to a WR2 against the flailing Saints next 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).
Kirk Cousins threw this second touchdown of the day, giving the Falcons a 14-3 lead over the Cowboys with 8:28 left in the first half.
