Leonard Hankerson, WR, Atlanta Falcons

Leonard Hankerson is starting to rumble for the Falcons, but his ownership levels still make him a clear sleeper. Teammate Julio Jones has eaten up 52 targets this year, but Hankerson has still seen 29 as his own. Roddy White owns just 13.

Among 102 receivers who have seen at least 10 targets this year, Hankerson's Reception NEP per target (1.00) ranks sixth. Jones' 0.82 ranks 23rd. White's 0.46 ranks 78th. It's clear that Hankerson is outperforming White, and their snap count (235 for White and 196 for Hankerson) isn't too big of a gap.

White has seen just 5 targets in the past three games combined. Hankerson has totaled 25 in the past three games. Now, they square off with the 22nd-ranked Washington pass defense with a projected total of 27.75 points. Sounds like a good recipe for Hankerson against his former team.
