Sun Nov 17 2013 | 18:45 | Leonard Hankerson has LCL injury |
Leonard Hankerson sustained a possible LCL injury in Sunday's loss at Philadelphia. |
Hankerson went down in the first quarter and never returned. LCL injuries are far less severe than ACL or PCL issues, but it's still a week-to-week situation. Aldrick Robinson saw a bump in snaps and produced a 2/60/1 line after Hankerson left Sunday. |

Sun Nov 17 2013 | 15:04 | Leonard Hankerson goes down with knee injury |
Leonard Hankerson left Sunday's Week 11 game at Philadelphia in the first quarter with a knee injury. |
Hankerson was trying to escape the grasp of Connor Barwin and ended up going down awkwardly. The Redskins Z receiver has been deemed doubtful to return. With Josh Morgan a healthy scratch and Jordan Reed being evaluated for a concussion, the Redskins pass offense is running on fumes. |

Leonard Hankerson (hamstring) is probable for Week 11. |
Hankerson played through his hamstring injury last Thursday and was a full participant in practice this week. He's currently averaging 3.2 catches for 41.1 yards per game and is nothing more than a WR5 in re-draft leagues. |

HankTime played through the injury last Thursday night and has had plenty of time to rest up. He's barely a WR5 who doesn't see a whole lot of targets. |

Wed Nov 13 2013 | 09:24 | Leonard Hankerson lacking burst |
Beat writer John Keim says Leonard Hankerson lacks burst and quickness. |
"It's why he can get open, but it's why defenses don't fear him," Keim wrote. We've noticed other flaws in Hankerson's game, including some issues with drops. And as the "Z" receiver in the Shanahan & Son offense, he doesn't get a ton of opportunities. Don't expect a bump on Hankerson's current averages of 3.2 catches for 41.1 yards per game. |

Fri Nov 8 2013 | 00:31 | HankTime has five-catch night in loss |
Leonard Hankerson caught five passes for 61 yards in Washington's Week 10 loss to the Vikings. |
Playing through a hamstring injury, Hankerson turned in his second five-catch performance in five days. He secured all five of his targets after going 5-of-6 in Week 9. HankTime still isn't getting nearly enough looks to merit every-week WR3 consideration, but will be an acceptable plug-and-play option for the fantasy season's stretch run. |

Leonard Hankerson (hamstring) is listed as probable for Thursday night's game against the Vikings. |
Hankerson practiced fully Tuesday and Wednesday after being limited on Monday. He'll start a Z receiver despite playing at less than 100 percent, but is not a recommended fantasy option for Week 10. |

Tue Nov 5 2013 | 08:41 | Shanny confirms Hankerson will be fine |
Coach Mike Shanahan confirmed that Leonard Hankerson (hamstring) "is gonna be fine." |
Even with the Redskins playing on Thursday night football this week, the Redskins aren't worried about their Z receiver's status. Fantasy owners, however, should be able to do better. Pierre Garcon and Jordan Reed are target hogs in the Shanahan and Son scheme. |

Leonard Hankerson (hamstring) was limited in Redskins practice Monday. |
HankTime is likely to play in Thursday night's game against the Vikings, but probably won't be 100 percent. He would not be a strong WR3 dice roll. |

Sun Nov 3 2013 | 18:10 | Leonard Hankerson gets five grabs in win |
Leonard Hankerson caught five passes for 55 yards in Sunday's Week 9 overtime win over the Chargers. |
Hankerson continues to play the possession, blocking complement at Z receiver. It's a role that doesn't have any upside in the Shanahan and Son offense. Hankerson is on pace for 48 catches, 618 yards and six touchdowns. It's a pace we'd expect him to maintain. |

Sun Oct 27 2013 | 20:37 | HankTime catches touchdown in loss |
Leonard Hankerson caught a seven-yard touchdown in Washington's Week 8 loss to the Broncos. |
HankTime's second-quarter score was his only catch of the day, and one of just three targets. He was listed as questionable on the injury report with a foot issue, so it's possible he was limited. Either way, Hankerson can't be trusted as a WR5 for Week 9. |

Fri Oct 25 2013 | 13:37 | Leonard Hankerson listed as questionable |
Leonard Hankerson (foot) is listed as questionable for Week 8 against Denver. |
We tentatively expect Hankerson to be active against the Broncos, but he's not worth the wait in a late game with an injury. HankTime is averaging just 5.5 targets per game this year. His backup at Z receiver is Josh Morgan. |

Thu Oct 24 2013 | 18:20 | HankTime back at practice Thursday |
Leonard Hankerson (foot) returned to Redskins practice Thursday, getting in a limited session. |
HankTime expects to play against the Broncos. "I feel pretty good," Hankerson said Thursday. "I've just got to keep on doing treatment in there with the (trainers) and keep on getting it better." Even in a plus matchup, Hankerson is a stretch for WR5 value. |

Leonard Hankerson (foot) is not practicing Wednesday. |
Hankerson suffered the foot injury in an off-field incident Tuesday. He'll likely be limited in practice this week, but it doesn't sound like it will keep him out of Sunday's game against the Broncos. |

Sun Oct 20 2013 | 17:20 | Leonard Hankerson catches one pass |
Leonard Hankerson caught one pass for 26 yards in Sunday's Week 7 win over the Bears. |
Hankerson was atrocious. He saw five targets, but had one really bad drop and couldn't separate. On top of that, the Z spot in the Shanahan and Son offense historically yields little production. There are higher upside wideouts on waivers right now. |

Mon Oct 14 2013 | 01:23 | Hankerson only has two catches on SNF |
Leonard Hankerson caught two passes for 36 yards in Sunday night's Week 6 loss to Dallas. |
Hankerson started and played in two-wide sets over Josh Morgan, but struggled to get separation on his routes and had a bad drop late in the fourth quarter. He's nothing more than a WR4 in fantasy leagues and will need to show more consistency before becoming a bigger part of the Redskins' offense. |

Wed Oct 2 2013 | 11:49 | Leonard Hankerson impressing coaches |
Coach Mike Shanahan said Leonard Hankerson is playing "really well." |
Hankerson's usage is on the rise in a big way. He's started three straight games ahead of Josh Morgan at the Z spot, compiling 10 catches on 16 targets during that stretch. Hankerson has always separated with ease, but often failed to finish plays. Now showing more consistency, deep leaguers should put him on their radar. "When [Hankerson] gets the opportunity to set guys up one-on-one, he usually wins," Shanahan said. |

Sun Sep 29 2013 | 19:47 | Hankerson goes for 49 yards in Week 4 |
Leonard Hankerson caught four passes for 49 yards in the Redskins' Week 4 win over the Raiders. |
He was targeted seven times, playing ahead of Josh Morgan for the third straight week. Hankerson is big and runs savvy routes, but he's not an explosive player and lacks sure hands. He's a WR3/4 in fantasy leagues. The Redskins have a bye week coming up. Keep Hankerson rostered on your own whims. |

Wed Sep 25 2013 | 09:46 | Leonard Hankerson sliding ahead of Morgan |
Leonard Hankerson played on 54 snaps in Week 3, compared to 24 for Josh Morgan. |
After alternating for much of the offseason and the preseason, Hankerson is finally starting to pull away. He's started in each of the past two weeks and the Week 3 snap count differential represents a season-high. It's enough to put Hankerson on watch lists, but the "Z" spot in the Skins offense is not typically a productive one. Over the last two weeks, Hankerson has totaled six catches for 56 yards and no touchdowns. |
