Falcons starting lineups vs. Seahawks with PFF season grades

The Atlanta Falcons face the unenviable task of playing the Seattle Seahawks without No. 1 wide receiver Drake London in Week 14. London was ruled out after missing all three days of practice due to a knee injury.

The Falcons have been looking for answers at the wide receiver position in recent weeks. Both KhaDarel Hodge and Casey Washington were healthy scratches against the New York Jets in Week 13. Dylan Drummond took Hodge’s place, while practice squad wide receiver Deven Thompkins replaced Washington.

Head coach Raheem Morris said this was a performance-based decision, and it’s anyone’s guess as to who will start opposite Darnell Mooney on Sunday. For now, though, Hodge remains listed as London’s backup on the depth chart.

Starting defensive lineman Brandon Dorlus has also been ruled out for Week 14. Dorlus has a team-high six sacks this season. Former second-round pick Ruke Orhorhoro will replace Dorlus in the lineup against the Seahawks.
