Almost out of nowhere, Thompson has forced his way into the committee in Washington, and emerged as the most productive back the last two weeks -- especially as a pass-catcher out of the backfield. Now, this is one of the most frustrating committees in all of football, but there's a reason Thompson is in this column for Week 5: He plays the Atlanta Falcons. Through the first four weeks, the Falcons have given up 365 yards through the air to opposing running backs (91.25 per game). With the Redskins going into Atlanta and likely playing from behind, Thompson could see a ton of targets and do some serious damage out of the backfield. For those owners frustrated with Lamar Miller/Jonathan Stewart, or looking for another option with Adrian Peterson and Chris Ivory on byes, Thompson could be a nice pickup this week, especially in PPR formats. FAAB suggestion: 0-5 percent.

The age of Roddy White has passed, and we've entered the age of Leonard Hankerson. Through the first three weeks, White out-snapped Hankerson 186 to 147, yet Hankerson commanded more than double the targets White saw (21 to nine), out-scoring White in fantasy points 19.8 to 8.4. Against the Texans in Week 4, Hankerson caught six of his eight targets for 103 yards and a touchdown (16.3 fantasy points), leading the Falcons in every receiving category. Now, we know this offense runs through Julio Jones, so we have to understand that Hankersons's production will not maintain this level on a week-to-week basis. However, offensive coordinator Kyle Shanahan has the Falcons' offense humming, and fantasy owners would be wise to buy-in to any player seeing significant volume in a high-flying offense like this. That's why Hankerson is worth a look on waivers this week. FAAB suggestion: 5-10 percent.
