Falcons' Drake London: Nearly hits century mark Sunday
Drake London caught eight of 12 targets for 97 yards in Sunday's 20-17 loss to the Saints.The star wideout didn't seem bothered by the minor hip injury he picked up last week, leading the Atlanta Falcons in catches, targets and receiving yards while falling just short of his second 100-yard performance of the season. London is firmly on pace for his first career 1,000-yard campaign, racking up 649 yards through 10 games with a career-high six TDs to boot, but he faces a tough matchup on the road in Week 11 against Patrick Surtain and the Broncos.

Falcons' Drake London: Will play vs. Saints
Drake London (hip) is active for Sunday's game against the Saints.Atlanta Falcons head coach Raheem Morris said Friday that he "felt good" about London's chances of playing in Week 10, and Adam Schefter of ESPN reported Saturday afternoon that the wideout was expected to suit up despite his questionable designation, so this doesn't come as a major surprise. With Marshon Lattimore traded to Washington this week, the Saints' secondary will be without one of its top players over the last decade. London has topped 100 receiving yards in only one game this season, but he has six touchdowns through nine appearances.
