Deion Branch (groin) is active for Saturday's Week 16 game against the Dolphins. Branch was held without a catch for three quarters in Week 14 before hurting his groin. Then he sat out last week's game in Denver. Owners should be able to do better for a WR3/flex options. Meanwhile, the Patriots will be without both their starting tackles in LT Matt Light (ankle) and Sebastian Vollmer (foot, back). Rookies Nate Solder and Marcus Cannon will be protecting Tom Brady. The rest of the Patriots inactives: QB Ryan Mallett, RB Shane Vereen, DE Ron Brace, LB Brandon Spikes and S Patrick Chung.
