Drake London, Kenneth Walker Exit with Hamstring, Ankle Injuries Respectively


Lots of big-name players exiting games early, though London played most of the game against the Giants before leaving with a hamstring injury in the fourth quarter. Given that the Falcons were up big by the time London suffered the injury, it’s hard to say whether or not he would have been able to re-enter the game considering there was no need for him to. Since it is a hamstring injury, it’ll be important to monitor London’s status this week given how finicky they can be - however, if he would miss, WR Darnell Mooney would get a slight upgrade as a WR2, while Michael Penix would get a slight downgrade without his most-targeted pass catcher from yesterday’s game. Kenneth Walker, meanwhile, suffered an ankle injury with just about six minutes left in the game and was ruled doubtful to return. Prior to exiting, he had handled 16 touches, eight of which came in the receiving game. Considering that Charbonnet was limited in practice a bit coming into this game, it’ll be interesting to see who’s available and who’s not for the fantasy championship next week – however, if Walker is ruled out and Charbonnet plays, he’d jump right back into the RB1 conversation. We’ll have a better idea of what to expect for Walker later this week, so stay tuned.
