Leonard Hankerson (WR, ATL) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues

OWNED IN: 13% of Fleaflicker Leagues

ANALYSIS: So maybe you didn't see this Adam Schefter tweet, saying how the Falcons view Hankerson and Roddy White as "2 and 2A" receivers. If you're a Roddy White owner you've definitely noticed. White went without a catch again in Week 3, while Hankerson ended with six targets, turning in a line of three catches for 45 yards. No, it's not as flashy as his Week 2 coming out party was, with a 6-77-1 line, but the usage is telling, especially compared to White.

Julio Jones is amazing, and he will get his. Week 3 was pretty strange though, as Devonta Freeman and Julio Jones had huge market shares of the offense. While ProFootballFocus has caught some flak of late for their grading system, it should be noted that Hankerson has turned in grades of -2.2, -1.9, and -2.2 in his first three games. He has five drops to his name already, which doesn't help anything. I'm just trying to provide the whole picture here.

The bottom line is that right now Roddy White's ownership level is at 79%, while Hankerson's is at 13%. These should be flip flopped at this point in the season. Hankerson has clearly played his way into a steady role for the Falcons (despite what the grades say, it isn't as though White has done well either), and therefore he has done enough to earn a spot on your team.
