Leonard Hankerson is on the other side of that Saints/Falcons matchup. As the favorites, Vegas gives the Falcons a projected 27.5 team total, the third highest in the league this week.

The Falcons receivers also draw a soft matchup this week, taking on a Saints defense that ranks 29th against the pass according to our Adjusted Defensive Passing NEP metrics.

Hankerson is well positioned to take advantage of the matchup and scoring opportunities. Julio Jones is being hampered by a hamstring injury that has affected his efficiency, and he converted 10 targets into only 5 receptions and 67 yards last week. Hankerson has earned himself a spot as the definitive number two wideout in Atlanta and has 33 targets to only 17 for Roddy White, his main competition for the role.
