The Falcons' quarterback situation is absolutely tanking London's fantasy value early in the season. With Tua Tagovailoa suffering from an oblique injury, Atlanta hasn't had a bridge quarterback to cover until Michael Penix Jr. is fully recovered from his ACL tear. Penix practiced in full last week before being ruled out and, according to reports, that's the most likely scenario for Sunday. Though Penix has split first-team reps with Cooper Rush, it's Rush who's expected to get another start. That is disastrous for London, who managed just two catches for 29 yards on five targets in the opener.

London's 2-29 Week 1 with Cooper Rush starting downgrades him to WR3 until Penix returns.

The Falcons' quarterback situation is absolutely tanking London's fantasy value early in the season. With Tua Tagovailoa suffering from an oblique injury, Atlanta hasn't had a bridge quarterback to cover until Michael Penix Jr. is fully recovered from his ACL tear. Penix practiced in full last week before being ruled out and, according to reports, that's the most likely scenario for Sunday. Though Penix has split first-team reps with Cooper Rush, it's Rush who's expected to get another start. That is disastrous for London, who managed just two catches for 29 yards on five targets in the opener. Once Penix returns, London will go back to being a potential fantasy WR1 like we saw last season, when he finished as the WR7 in fppg and was the third-highest scoring wideout through the first 11 weeks before injuries struck. However, until Penix starts, London is down in the fantasy WR3 range.
