The Atlanta Falcons haven't had the services of wide receiver Drake London for four straight games due to injury.

London sustained a PCL injury in his knee back in Week 11 and finally returned to practice this past week, turning in two limited sessions before sitting out on Friday and drawing the questionable tag for Week 16.

While that leaves London's status up in the air on paper, we have two pieces of evidence that the Falcons' No. 1 wideout will play on Sunday.

Here's what we know.

Is Drake London playing today?

Yes, London is expected to play in Week 16 against the Arizona Cardinals, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter.

"Falcons WR Drake London, listed as questionable for Sunday due to a knee injury that has sidelined him since Week 12, is expected to play vs. The Cardinals, per source," Schefter reported on Saturday night.

During the week, Falcons head coach Raheem Morris also said London would play.

"He's playing," Morris said of London, per ESPN's Marc Raimondi.

We'll get final confirmation on London's status when the Falcons release their inactives list an hour and a half before the 4:05 p.m. ET kickoff.

Drake London fantasy advice

London enters Week 16 ranked as WR3 overall in fantasy points per game, which makes him a must-start player every week.

Arizona presents a middle-of-the-road matchup, with the Cardinals ceding the 15th-fewest fantasy points per game to wide receivers.

Lock London in on Sunday.

Verdict: Start
