Fantasy Football
News: 2 days agoBranch caught both of his targets for 14 yards and returned one punt for seven yards in Sunday's 34-3 loss against the Panthers.
Spin: Branch saw 14 offensive snaps and 11 special-teams snaps in Sunday's contest. The wide receiver had a better Week 2 performance after not showing up in the box score for the Falcons' Week 1 loss to the Steelers. Branch remains the No. 1 punt returner for the team as well as a depth option at wide receiver.
ESPN Fantasy Projection: Branch was selected by the Falcons in the third round of April's draft. Branch is a tiny slot receiver who posted an extremely low 5.2 aDOT during 37 collegiate games. That limited his efficiency numbers a bit, though he caught 71% of his targets and was terrific after the catch (7.9 RAC). Branch has the look of a versatile (perhaps gadget) player who will help as a rusher, slot receiver and returner. That role makes him a longshot for consistent fantasy output, but he does have a path to No. 2 receiver duties behind Drake London with the likes of Olamide Zaccheaus and Jahan Dotson his primary competition. Branch should only be drafted in dynasty.
