The Atlanta Falcons have proven to be one of the best fantasy offenses in the NFL this season. Leonard Hankerson has established himself as the second-best wide receiver in Atlanta, completely overtaking Roddy White. Hankerson has been battling a thumb injury but was officially listed as probable for the Week 5 game vs. the Washington Redskins.
Washington has one of the better run defenses in the NFL so far this season but one of the worst at defending the pass. Matt Ryan should have a field day throwing it all over the Washington secondary which makes Hankerson a tremendous play. Julio Jones will obviously see the majority of targets, but with such an advantage, there should be enough passing stats to feed two receivers for big games.
Hankerson needs to be owned in all leagues following a breakout performance with six receptions and 103 yards last week against the Houston Texans. Pick him up if he's still available on your waiver wire, as things are on the rise for the Falcons and their young receiver.
