Falcons WR Drake London took part in limited practice Thursday, giving fans and fantasy football managers reason to be optimistic.

One day removed from sitting out drills due an illness Wednesday, London was back on the practice field, though in what capacity will be revealed on the Falcons ' second Week 11 injury report. Since the team's Week 5 bye, he's racked up 29 catches (on 48 targets) for 422 yards and five touchdowns in four appearances.

Despite the Atlanta Falcons' loss to the New England Patriots, wide receiver Drake London scored a career-high three touchdowns.

It was the second straight big game for wide receiver Drake London, who picked up where he left off during last week's game against the New England Patriots. In fact, since Michael Penix Jr. took over as the Falcons' quarterback, no quarterback and wide receiver duo has more yards (1002) than London and himself.
