#84 Deion Branch   Pos: Wide Receiver NFL Team: NWE Injury: Probable Injury Type: knee Experience: 10 College: Louisville Height: 69 Weight: 195 Born: 7/18/1979  Year   Tm   Gm   Catch   Yds   TDs   Tgt   Rush   Yds   TDs   Fum  PROJ NWE 64 848 6 0 0 0 0 2010 NWE 15 61 818 6 92 0 0 0 1 2009 SEA 14 45 437 2 79 1 -8 0 0 2008 SEA 8 30 412 4 - 0 0 0 0 2007 SEA 11 49 661 4 - 0 0 0 0 SUMMARY Wide Receiver Rank: #55    Overall: #152 A trade back to New England was just thing to get Branch's career going back in the right direction. He played very well as a starter in the Patriots' offense, catching 48 passes for 706 yards and five touchdowns in 11 games. Branch has his first 1,000-yard season if he plays the entire season with New England last year. It was clear Branch is comfortable in the Patriots' offense and a good fit for their system. Branch had fewer than 700-receiving yards his past three seasons before this past year. He had two seasons with 800-plus yards while with the Patriots earlier in his career. Branch is 32 but he seems healthy for the first time in a few years. 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 His health is always a concern, but he has some upside as long as he is with the Patriots. They will spread the ball, but Branch gets his targets. He has the trust of Tom Brady. Branch probably won't get 1,000 yards but he can get 800 or 900 yards and six touchdowns, making him a guy to consider as a No. 3 or 4 receiver for fantasy teams. 2012-02-08 14:53:12 New England Patriots impending free-agent WR Deion Branch may have to accept a small role on offense if he decides to re-sign with the Patriots this offseason. Source: KFFL.com 2012-02-06 10:53:10 New England Patriots impending free-agent WR Deion Branch said he wants to return to the team in 2012. Branch wants to retire as a Patriot. 'This is where I want to be, this is where I want to retire,' Branch said. 'This is why I came back, for the opportunity to play in this game. I'm pretty sure I will be here in this position next year.' Fantasy Impact: He is no sure to return as the Patriots need to get better and younger at receiver.

Fantasy Impact: None of the receivers did much as the Ravens defense really played well. Source: KFFL.com
