Is Drake London playing tonight? Falcons WR's status revealed for Week 15 MNF vs. Raiders

The main reason for Drake London's recent productivity decline is that quarterback Kirk Cousins hasn't thrown a touchdown pass in the last four games. However, the third-year receiver, who has 10+ targets in three of the last four games, is still an essential part of the Atlanta Falcons' offense and is constantly highly involved in the passing attack.

London and the Falcons will be looking to record their first win in five weeks when they return to the field in prime time this Monday night against the Las Vegas Raiders at Allegiant Stadium.

Exploring Drake London's availability status for Monday Night Football

Drake London didn't appear on the Atlanta Falcons' injury report this week, indicating that he's fully fit and ready to roll against the Las Vegas Raiders on Monday Night Football.

London hasn't missed a game this season despite a few minor injuries that have prevented him from practicing.

While London will play on Monday night, the Falcons have ruled out two players due to injuries — linebacker Troy Andersen (knee) and wide receiver Casey Washington (concussion). Due to a foot injury, wide receiver Darnell Mooney was limited for the second time this week on Saturday. However, he was not listed as injured on the team's final injury report.

How has Drake London performed this season?

There were reservations about the Atlanta Falcons offense's potential threat level prior to the start of the season. Despite significant fluctuations in output over the past few weeks, Drake London has put on some outstanding performances this season.

London came into this season hoping to make more of an impression and play a larger part in the offense, and he has done just that. This season, he has hauled in 75 passes for 866 yards and six touchdowns. The six receiving touchdowns he has this season are the same as his total from the last two seasons put together.

With just two more catches, the former first-round pick will surpass Calvin Ridley's record of 217 receptions in his first three seasons with the Falcons.

London has also earned the trust of quarterback Kirk Cousins in their first season together, as shown by the fact that he is the receiver with the second-most end-zone targets this season, only behind Cincinnati Bengals wideout Ja'Marr Chase.

The former USC Trojans wide out has also demonstrated a special quality this season that distinguishes him from other elite wideouts: blocking skills. London is without question one of the most effective blocking receivers.
