Commanders cannot sleep on underused Falcons star despite quiet start

The Washington Commanders don't want to be the ones who allow a misused Atlanta Falcons star to come to life in Week 4, but it could happen because of a significant problem posed by the dormant playmaker.

It's towering wide receiver Drake London, who can wreck a Washington defensive backfield beset by injuries. Those personnel problems pose the question: Who exactly is best suited to covering the wide receiver at Mercedes-Benz Stadium?

The question isn't an easy one to answer, despite the Commanders still having three competent starting cornerbacks. Rookie Trey Amos is already showing out, while second-year pro Mike Sainristil remains versatile and physical.
