Leonard Hankerson has a 'legit chance' to be a 'secondary threat' for Falcons

Falcons beat writer Vaughn McClure: No one figured Leonard Hankerson would emerge as a fantasy target based on his career numbers in four seasons with the Redskins. Hankerson has just six touchdowns in 31 career games (123 targets). Injuries have hampered his progress, but a healthy Hankerson has a legit chance to be a secondary threat behind Julio Jones. Hankerson already showed he could be a scoring target with a 2-yard touchdown reception from Matt Ryan in a preseason matchup against the Jets.

Fantasy Impact: 

Hankerson's ADP has risen in the last few weeks behind some training camp buzz. He'll have a chance to see snaps as the Falcons third receiver, which has been a busy position in the last few seasons when Julio Jones and Roddy White struggled with injuries.

T.J. Yates didn't enter training camp thinking he was entitled to anything.

Although the Atlanta Falcons quarterback has one playoff win under his belt and essentially ran offensive coordinator Kyle Shanahan's scheme when he played for Gary Kubiak in Houston, Yates knew how key preseason games would be in determining the backup to starter Matt Ryan.

So when Falcons coach Dan Quinn announced after Friday's 31-24 win over Tennessee how the job is "100 percent still a competition" between Yates and Sean Renfree, Yates wasn't taken by surprise.

Yates would be the first to admit his first live action this season was a little shaky. He took over for Ryan after one series and completed 9 of 15 passes for 105 yards with an interception in 32 snaps. He was sacked once and had a passer rating of 53.5.

Yates, who ran his share of bootlegs, wishes he had a couple of passes back as he was obviously off target. There appeared to be miscommunication between himself and rookie receiver Justin Hardy on the interception.

Meanwhile, Renfree completed 6 of 7 passes for 68 yards in 23 snaps. His passer rating was 107.1.

Matt Ryan: 'It takes a group' at running back

While much has been made of the competition for the starting running back spot, Falcons quarterback Matt Ryan prefers a committee approach.

“In this league it takes a group at that spot,” Ryan said. “I think we have the right group to do it.”

Devonta Freeman and rookie Tevin Coleman are battling for the top spot. The Falcons also have Antone Smith, Terron Ward and Jerome Smith on the roster.

“Anytime you can run the football and you can run it effectively is slows down the pass rush,” Ryan said. “That’s the goal for us, to be balanced on offense and to be able to get that run game going. I think Kyle has a great scheme in terms of the zone blocking scheme. We have to rep it. Get better at it. Get on the same page, all 11 of us on offense. Once we do that, I think that will help.”

Fantasy Impact: 

The story added that Ryan wouldn't pick a favorite out of the group, and he very well may be taking the high road as a lot needs to be sorted out as far as the Falcons RBs go. The Falcons are installing a outside-zone blocking scheme under new offensive coordinator Kyle Shanahan the story added.

Falcons WR Justin Hardy 'made a good first impression'

Third-round draft pick Justin Hardy has made a good first impression on some of his fellow skill position players. On Tuesday, Matt Ryan praised the WR for his consistent improvements; today, Julio Jones commended Hardy for the way he’s responded to challenges thrown his way.

Fantasy Impact: 

Hardy is competing with Devin Hester and Leonard Hankerson for snaps behind Julio Jones and Roddy White. He has a chance to be the third receiver for the Falcons, which doesn’t hold much fantasy value without an injury to a player higher on the depth chart.
