NFL defensive coaches have been unimpressed by Leonard Hankerson's ability to create separation through Hankerson's first two NFL seasons.

Hankerson is blessed with great size and massive hands, but his 2012 performance was incredibly inconsistent both on the field and in the box score. He typically only got open when play-action gave him room to run downfield. Beat writer John Keim says he'd still "strongly bet" on 24-year-old Hankerson improving in his third season. We'll keep tabs on him this spring and summer. Jan 25 - 2:01 PM

Leonard Hankerson - WR - Redskins

Leonard Hankerson caught two passes for 27 yards in Sunday's Wild Card round loss to the Seahawks.

He dropped a wide open pass over the middle to kill a crucial drive before Robert Griffin III left with a knee injury. Pro Football Focus also counted three drops for Hankerson during the season. We must have seen all of them on a running loop. Hankerson was a major disappointment this season, struggling to separate and showing little run-after-catch ability. The Redskins can't count on him to ascend to a starting role in 2013.

Jan 6 - 8:30 PM

Leonard Hankerson - WR - Redskins

Leonard Hankerson caught one pass for 12 yards in Washington's Week 17 loss to the Cowboys.

A popular preseason sleeper, Hankerson finishes 2012 with just 38 catches for 543 yards. He was held to two catches or fewer in six of seven games following Pierre Garcon's return from a foot injury. Still only 23 years old, HankTime's combination of size and speed makes him worth holding onto in Dynasty leagues, but it's too early to tell what kind of value he'll offer in redraft formats next season.

Mon, Dec 31, 2012 12:55:00 AM

Leonard Hankerson - WR - Redskins

Leonard Hankerson caught two passes for 56 yards with two touchdowns in the Redskins' Week 15 win over the Browns.

Hankerson made the most of his two targets. His first score came when he blew past Sheldon Brown and Kirk Cousins threaded the needle between three Browns for a 54-yard score in the first quarter. His second touchdown came on a simple goal-line bootleg from Cousins. Don't chase these plays as Hankerson continues to rotate with Josh Morgan opposite No. 1 target Pierre Garcon.

Sun, Dec 16, 2012 05:49:00 PM

Leonard Hankerson - WR - Redskins

Leonard Hankerson caught four passes for 67 yards versus the Ravens in Week 15.

He would have added a touchdown if not for an end zone drop on a back-shoulder throw. Although Hankerson's five targets were second only to Pierre Garcon's nine, he's not a fantasy option for Week 15 versus the Browns.

Sun, Dec 9, 2012 06:18:00 PM

Leonard Hankerson - WR - Redskins

Leonard Hankerson caught his lone target for 14 yards in Week 13 versus the Giants.

Hankerson had the one target, while Santana Moss and Aldrick Robinson didn't see a single pass come their way. It just shows that when Pierre Garcon is in the lineup, no other Redskins wideout is going to be much of a factor unless it's a complete shootout. The second-year receiver is on pace for a 40/530/1 line. Hankerson has no fantasy value in re-draft leagues.

Tue, Dec 4, 2012 12:54:00 AM

Leonard Hankerson - WR - Redskins

Leonard Hankerson managed one reception for 12 yards in the Redskins' Week 12 win over the Cowboys.

Targeted just twice, Hankerson rotated possessions with Pierre Garcon at X receiver. Garcon came away with 5-93-1 on a team-high seven targets, clearly bypassing Hankerson as the superior option outside. Hankerson can be dropped in 12-team leagues. He's highly unlikely to make a box-score impact down the stretch.

Thu, Nov 22, 2012 08:29:00 PM

Leonard Hankerson - WR - Redskins

OC Kyle Shanahan said the plan was for Leonard Hankerson to rotate with Aldrick Robinson at "X" receiver in Week 9.

Hankerson didn't start, but played 44 snaps compared to 32 for Robinson. Hankerson was the preferred option in the red zone. Even if Pierre Garcon (foot) ends up shut down for the season, neither of his backups can be trusted while sharing the snaps.

Leonard Hankerson - WR - Redskins

Leonard Hankerson caught just one pass for 16 yards in Week 8 against the Steelers.

Hankerson caught just one of his four targets, but Robert Griffin III missed him on a couple of occasions over the middle. He'll continue to start as the "X" receiver in Pierre Garcon's (foot) absence, and it doesn't sound like Garcon will be back before the Week 10 bye. Hankerson will be a decent flex option against the Panthers in Week 9.

Sun, Oct 28, 2012 05:26:00 PM

Leonard Hankerson - WR - Redskins

Leonard Hankerson caught six passes for 70 yards in the Redskins' Week 7 loss to the Giants.

Stepping in at the "X" spot for Pierre Garcon (foot) once again, Hankerson led the team with eight targets. He was solid, showing fearlessness over the middle and creating separation on slant routes. The big plays for the Redskins' offense came on a bubble screen to Santana Moss and a go route to the slot receiver. Hankerson will be a flex option against the Steelers next week if Garcon sits, but we can't expect any big plays. He has one touchdown and one play longer than 23 yards on the season.

Sun, Oct 21, 2012 05:16:00 PM

Leonard Hankerson - WR - Redskins

Redskins WR Leonard Hankerson was added to the Week 7 injury report with an illness, but is listed as probable.

Sounds like there's nothing to see here. Hankerson is expected to play on Sunday against the Giants. With just three catches for 26 yards in his last two games, he's not a particularly strong play. Hankerson is Rotoworld's No. 47 wide receiver for Week 7.

Leonard Hankerson - WR - Redskins

Leonard Hankerson caught two balls for 23 yards in the Redskins Week 6 win.

Hankerson started in place of Pierre Garcon (foot), but Robert Griffin spread around the wealth and no Washington pass catcher cleared 50 yards in this game. Hankerson would need Garcon to face an extended absence in order to be a weekly fantasy option. Right now, Hankerson is a fantasy WR5.

Sun, Oct 14, 2012 07:44:00 PM

Leonard Hankerson - WR - Redskins

Updating a previous item, Leonard Hankerson is the Redskins' starting X receiver in Week 6 against the Vikings.

It's unclear if he'll be a full-time player after being demoted out of the starting lineup last week, but Hankerson is getting the first crack at replacing Pierre Garcon, who's inactive with a foot injury.

Sun, Oct 14, 2012 03:02:00 PM

Leonard Hankerson - WR - Redskins

Leonard Hankerson caught just one pass for three yards and gained two yards on a rushing attempt in Week 5 against the Falcons.

Hankerson was Washington's fourth receiver in this game, after getting demoted behind Josh Morgan. Pierre Garcon is the other outside receiver, and Santana Moss plays the slot. Hankerson could come into fantasy value eventually should one of those wideouts get injured, but for now he's droppable in 12-team leagues. He'd need a Garcon injury to be a viable week-to-week producer.

Sun, Oct 7, 2012 04:13:00 PM

Leonard Hankerson - WR - Redskins

Leonard Hankerson has been demoted behind Josh Morgan at Z receiver for the Redskins in Week 5.

Because Pierre Garcon, Morgan, slot receiver Santana Moss will operate in three-wide sets, Hankerson will essentially be Washington's fourth wideout on Sunday. He's no longer on the fantasy radar this week. Per the Washington Examiner's John Keim, the Redskins have opted to simply "ride the hot hand" between Morgan and Hankerson on a weekly basis. So rather than performan Shanahanigans at running back, they're doing it at flanker this year.

Depth Charts

Skill Players
Pos	Role	Name
QB	1	Robert Griffin III Sidelined Robert Griffin III's (ACL, LCL surgery) father says his son has been throwing footballs since April and insists RG3's recovery remains "on cue." "Robert is doing extremely well as far as the timetable," said RG2. "He's been doing a lot overtime, he never stops. He was throwing some prior to the draft. Everything seems to be on cue. Everybody in the organization is targeting that season opener." RG3 tore his right ACL at Baylor four years ago. "He might be a little ahead of himself in terms of doing what he did then compared to now," RG2 said. "He's smarter, stronger, wiser." May 17
	2	Kirk Cousins
	3	Rex Grossman
	4	Pat White
RB	1	Alfred Morris
	2	Evan Royster
	3	Roy Helu Sidelined Roy Helu (toe surgery) recently suffered a setback, but is "nearly 100 percent." It's unclear how that works, but coach Mike Shanahan wasn't concerned at his Wednesday presser. It's just another reminder of Helu's fragility. Helu will battle Evan Royster for third-down duties in camp. Apr 24
	4	Chris Thompson Sidelined Redskins agreed to terms with No. 154 overall pick RB Chris Thompson on a four-year contract. Recovering from an October ACL tear, Thompson is questionable for the beginning of training camp. Thompson is a thimble of a football player at 5-foot-7, 192 pounds, but coach Mike Shanahan believes he would have been a first- or second-round pick if not for his injury. That's because of his electric speed. Thompson could eventually make noise as a scat/third-down back, but will most likely be "redshirted" this season. May 15
	5	Jawan Jamison
GLB	1	Alfred Morris
	2	Evan Royster
3RB	1	Alfred Morris
	2	Evan Royster
FB	1	Darrel Young
	2	Dorson Boyce I.L. Redskins FB Dorson Boyce (shoulder) could be cleared for contact this week. Boyce tore his labrum in the preseason finale last year. The 24-year-old rushed ten times for 44 yards in exhibition action last season. He could compete for a special teams role or a spot on the practice squad. Apr 20
	3	Eric Kettani
WR1	1	Pierre Garcon Sidelined Pierre Garcon (foot) isn't sure if he'll be 100 percent healthy for 2013. "I’ll be healthy enough to play," Garcon said Thursday on NFL Network. "I can’t say I’ll be 100 percent, but I’ll be back out there helping the team in any way possible." Garcon isn't sure if he'll go full steam during OTAs. Garcon played through the injury in 2012, but it's a concern he's already resigned to the possibility of playing at less than 100 percent for the second consecutive season. Garcon could eventually require surgery, but has thus far avoided it because there's no guarantee it will correct the issue. Apr 12
	2	Santana Moss
	3	Aldrick Robinson
	4	Skye Dawson
	5	Chip Reeves
WR2	1	Josh Morgan Sidelined Josh Morgan had ligaments in each of his hands repaired after the season. Tack this issue on top of ongoing concerns surrounding Morgan's right leg issues. After appearing to lack burst last season, he had surgery to remove a plate and seven screws from his right ankle in January. Morgan may not be ready for OTAs. Feb 27
	2	Leonard Hankerson
	3	Dezmon Briscoe
	4	Nick Williams
	5	Lance Lewis
WR3	1	Santana Moss
TE	1	Fred Davis Sidelined Speaking in a Wednesday presser, Redskins coach Mike Shanahan said Fred Davis (Achilles) has made "strides," but the team won't know how far he's progressed before OTAs. Davis is six months removed from the Achilles' tear, and expects to be fully cleared by June. Despite Davis' bullish outlook, he's a strong candidate to begin camp on active/PUP, with a stint on reserve/PUP possible to begin the year. Apr 24
	2	Logan Paulsen
	3	Jordan Reed Sidelined Redskins third-round TE Jordan Reed did not participate in rookie minicamp due to a bone bruise in his knee and a pulled quad. Reed, the 85th pick in the draft, pulled a quad, which resulted in knee soreness. The Redskins are "hopeful" he'll be able to get back to action in a "couple weeks." Washington starts OTAs on May 20, and Reed should be on the field. May 5
	4	Niles Paul
	5	Deangelo Peterson
K	1	Kai Forbath
