Justin Hardy was drafted to be a better, faster Harry Douglas, but for some odd reason wasn’t on the active roster for the Falcons’ first seven games. Hardy made his season debut last week against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and caught two passes for 21 yards.

Out of everyone on this list, Hardy may have the best career. He’s fast, has great hands and is a great route runner. Why the Falcons just started using him keeps me up at night, but it appears that he is here to stay. Expect a heavy dose of Hardy over the Falcons’ next eight games.
