Drake London continues to be a source of concern for the Atlanta Falcons. The veteran wide receiver is dealing with a PCL injury that has kept him sidelined for the last two games. The Falcons are 1-1 over that span, relying on other players to find the end zone.

Head coach Raheem Morris had labeled London "day-to-day," but the player didn't evolve as desired, meaning he won't be available for Week 15, when the Falcons will take on Sam Darnold and the Seattle Seahawks. If you're a fantasy manager struggling to find a proper replacement for London, check out these five options.

Top 5 fantasy football replacements for Drake London

1. Darnell Mooney, Atlanta Falcons

Darnell Mooney is the natural option to replace Drake London. The Tulane product has had a solid season with the struggling Falcons, catching 21 passes on 50 targets for 323 yards and one touchdown. He has maximized his chances in the last two games (99 yards combined), which is always a good option for fantasy managers.

2. Christian Watson, Green Bay Packers

Christian Watson has made a strong impact on the Green Bay Packers since he made his long-awaited return to the field. The third-year veteran has been targeted at least five times in the last three games, racking up 46, 49 and 80 yards, to go along with three touchdowns. This is a terrific option to replace Drake London as long as he's available.

3. Alec Pierce, Indianapolis Colts

Alec Pierce is another wide receiver whose role on his team has increased in recent weeks. The Indianapolis Colts' wideout has had strong performances in recent games, including a five-reception, 98-yard game against the LA Chargers in Week 7 and a six-reception, 115-yard outing against the Atlanta Falcons in Week 10. Pierce has earned Daniel Jones' trust and that's huge at this point in fantasy season.

4. Michael Wilson, Arizona Cardinals

Michael Wilson has also taken advantage of Marvin Harrison Jr.'s injuries to increase his role on the Arizona Cardinals. The team has other intriguing pieces, but Wilson is the No. 1 option when Harrison isn't on the field. In 12 games, Wilson has recorded 50 receptions for 570 yards and one touchdown. Wilson is a solid option to replace Drake London.

5. Tre Tucker, Las Vegas Raiders

Tre Tucker isn't having the best season with the Las Vegas Raiders. The AFC West team fired Chip Kelly and ae trying to find a new identity on offense under their new coordinator. That could affect Tucker's production, but if the offense clicks, the wide receiver could become a key piece in fantasy football's knockout stages.
