Hankerson caught six of his 11 targets for 77 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's game against the Giants.

EDGE Analysis

Meanwhile, veteran receiver Roddy White did not record a catch and was targeted just once in the game. While the performance is encouraging for Hankerson's prospects, he is just a week removed from a two-catch, 16-yard performance, indicating his inconsistent role in the offense. However, running back Tevin Coleman was injured in this game, causing Atlanta to lean on the passing game a bit more, so Hankerson could stand to benefit from added looks. Week 3 will see the Falcons travel to take on the Cowboys.
