4. Leonard Hankerson-Atlanta Falcons (10.6%)

In week 2, Leonard Hankerson had a breakthrough game catching six of his ten targets for 77 yards and a touchdown in the Falcons win against the Giants. He followed that up this week with there catches on six passes for 45 yards as the Falcons moved to 3-0 by beating the Cowboys. Even though his overall numbers were down, he was still second on the team in targets.

The question with Hankerson moving forward is whether he’ll continue to get the majority of work across from Julio Jones. Roddy White has completely disappeared as a weapon the last two weeks which has left plenty of chances for Hankerson to emerge.

His value will ultimately be limited as long as he’s across the field from target-monster Julio Jones who gets tons of attention from Matt Ryan, but as defenses focus on taking Jones away there should be some chances for Hankerson to have some solid stat lines.

This week, the Falcons face the Texans in a game they should be playing from ahead. Hankerson is worth adding and can be started if necessary this week, but there is a chance the game gets out of hand early and the Falcons rely on their running game.

Next: This sleeper delivered once. Can he do it again?
