The Falcons have shown at varying points this season they can put up a whole lot of points.

But if they’re going to get back to that this week, they’re going to have to lean on one of their older wideouts to play a bigger role.

The Falcons announced that wide receiver Leonard Hankerson (hamstring) and safety William Moore (groin) have been ruled out for Sunday’s game against the Buccaneers.

Hankerson has taken over as their No. 2 receiver this year, which pushed veteran Roddy White into a lesser role, which he wasn’t likely crazy about though he insisted he was fine.

Regardless, it won’t be hard to top last week’s 10 points at Tennessee, as they were able to win an ugly one to stay a half-game behind the Panthers in the NFC South.
