Summary

Wide Receiver Rank: #70
Overall: #205

Branch was the starter in New England all season and posted decent numbers, finishing with just more than 50 receptions and 700 yards. He has two straight seasons of 700-plus yards with the Patriots after several down years with the Seahawks. Branch wasn't the most consistent option in the offense, though, competing with a lot of players for targets. He had two 100-yard games but had three games without even a reception. He was a little boom or bust. Branch has even more to compete with at receiver for this coming season, which could cut down on his playing time even more. He isn't guaranteed his starting spot. Branch is 33 years old, which is another concern. He was healthy last year and still had some of his burst from past seasons but might not be able to play at that same level going forward. Branch does well on short or intermediate routes, has pretty good hands and runs well. His best attributes make him a good fit for the Patriots.

FANTASY OUTLOOK

Branch is going to see a dip in production his season. We think a season of around 500 yards and four touchdowns is likely for Branch. He was never a prolific fantasy option even during his best years so avoiding him at the tail end of his career probably is a good idea. If you are going to take him, take him late as a deep reserve at receiver.

Notes

2012-04-24 21:03:11

New England Patriots WR Deion Branch tested the free-agent waters before coming back. He is one of 10 receivers on the current roster. 'The conversation was there,' Branch said. 'I think everyone knew exactly what was what. This is where I want to be, this is where I want to retire. Coach Belichick and I, and his staff, the organization, made sure we tried to head in that direction.'

Fantasy Impact: Branch isn't guaranteed playing time this year. He'll have to earn it.
