🏈 Fantasy impact

London has returned to Sunday’s game after being evaluated for a concussion, so fantasy managers can breathe a sigh of relief. He remains a must-start wide receiver when on the field, as he has averaged 14.7 PPR points per game this season and was projected for 16.8 PPR points in Week 7. If London were to miss time, the next man up would likely be Jahan Dotson, who has 46.6 PPR points this season and is the clear second wide receiver on the depth chart. However, with London back in the game, start him as usual and do not make any roster changes based on this scare.
