10 Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Targets Heading Into Week 5

Leonard Hankerson, WR, Atlanta Falcons

ESPN Ownership: 13.4%
Yahoo! Ownership: 17%

Leonard Hankerson once again makes our list, and rightfully so.

Despite a superb 0.85 Reception NEP per target over the first three games of the season -- placing him in the same company as Randall Cobb (0.89), Jeremy Maclin (0.88), and Julio Jones (0.87) -- and severely outplaying veteran teammate Roddy White, Falcons wideout Leonard Hankerson is still criminally underowned, with his ownership sitting below 20% ownership in both ESPN and Yahoo! fantasy football leagues.

Therefore, given his already productive start to the season, his low ownership should change following yet again another great performance this Sunday. Hankerson led the team this week against Houston's ninth ranked passing defenses according to our advanced metrics, catching 6 of 8 targets on his way to 103 yards and a receiving score.

With his clear contributions to this offense on display with his 1.50 Reception NEP per target on Sunday, don't expect Matt Ryan to stop looking Hankerson's way anytime soon. And as the number two receiving option on the high-flying Falcons offense, you could do worse than add Hankerson to your squad as a reliable WR3 option with WR2 upside.
