Drake London (groin) ruled out for Falcons against Vikings

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Drake London (groin) has been ruled out for Week 9 against the Minnesota Vikings on Sunday.

What It Means:

London missed practice all week after injuring his groin in the Falcons' loss to the Tennessee Titans last week. There will be more snaps available for Van Jefferson, Mack Hollins, KhaDarel Hodge, and Scotty Miller on Sunday, but the extra targets will likely go to Kyle Pitts and Jonnu Smith. This is the first time London has been ruled out in his NFL career.

The Vikings are allowing the sixth-most FanDuel points to wide receivers and they rank 15th in FanDuel points allowed per game to the tight end position. London has drawn 22.1% of the Falcons' targets this season and accounted for 27.1% of the team air yards.
