Leading up to every game, we try to give you a sense of who is worth watching, who might stand out, and what matchups figure to be central to the outcome. I'd like to dial that back a bit and focus on a man whose performance in this upcoming game against the Dolphins is more central to his fortunes than the team's.
That man is Leonard Hankerson, who finds himself in prime position to be the Falcons' second-leading receiver. That would have been a bold statement just a month ago, but with Roddy White suffering from a series of minor injuries and undergoing elbow surgery, the opportunity is legitimately there.
