The news came out of nowhere for the Atlanta Falcons and Drake London’s fantasy football managers.
On Saturday, London was a late addition to the injury report with a hip injury.
And on Sunday morning, London was ruled out. He won’t play against the Miami Dolphins in Week 8.

Why isn’t Drake London playing today?
Drake London isn’t playing because of a last-minute injury.
He was added to the injury report Saturday with a hip problem after he had been a regular participant in practice throughout the week.
It’s not clear where the London injury may have originated, but it’s enough to keep him out Sunday.
Drake London fantasy replacements
There’s not much time, but there are some options if you had London in your fantasy lineup.
The easiest replacement for London is his teammate, Darnell Mooney, who should get plenty of targets if London sits. The Falcons will also give more work to young wideout Casey Washington if London is out, and he could be a target in deeper leagues.
Other potentially available wideouts include Texans rookies Jaylin Noel and Jayden Higgins, who are both playing a lot this week with no Nico Collins and Christian Kirk. Titans wideout Elic Ayomanor remains a decent stream, too, as does returned-to-health Colts WR Josh Downs and young Panthers WR Xavier Legette.
