Deion Branch caught five passes for 58 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's win over the Jets.
The catches were Branch's most since he hauled in seven in Week 5, though the touchdown was his fourth in six games. With the Patriots' schedule opening up after a brutal midseason stretch, Branch should be a serviceable WR3 more often than not. He'll be a solid play against the Chiefs in Week 11.
The great thing about branch is when it gets to the redzone because gronkowski is such a huge threat most teams put there 2nd bet db on him. So that leaves branch on a 3rd db such as kyle wilson who he scored the td on sunday. When brady see's that he automatically zeros in on him giving him at lease one or two redzone targets a game. Branch is too good to be guarded by a #3 db. He will eat them alive just like he did vs wilson.
Your crazy! The info u guys give is ludicrous! Branch the most reliable Wron the pats. Welker is feast or famine. Branch has been ridiculosly consistent. Solid WR2\Flex1 in my mind
