Kyle Williams Should See Full-Time Role with Top Wide Reciever Injured

Thursday, September 10, 5:12 AM

New England Patriots wide receiver Kyle Williams didn't have a target or a catch in Week 1, but he could be lined up for a much bigger role for the team going forward after an injury to A.J. Brown (ankle). Brown was seen leaving the locker room on Wednesday wearing a boot on his right foot, which could lead to the team's big offseason acquisition missing time. Williams only played 11 snaps on offense after his big preseason, when he racked up six catches for166 yards and three touchdowns. The second-year receiver is definitely a name to watch on the waiver wire in deep leagues if Brown ends up missing any time. The Patriots have 10 days until their next game in Week 2 at home against the Steelers, when they'll look to erase a tough Week 1 loss.

Zachariah Branch Not Projected to Start Early in Rookie Season

Friday, September 11, 7:05 AM

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Zachariah Branch is not listed as a projected starter on the team's initial depth chart, dropping him off the fantasy radar in most redraft leagues. As a third-round rookie, we shouldn't be completely shocked that Branch won't get the start in Week 1 against the Pittsburgh Steelers. However, if there were any receiver room where he could make that leap, this would be the one. There are plenty of targets up for grabs behind No. 1 receiver Drake London. While Branch, a Georgia product, spent this summer competing for that No. 2 role, it ended up going to veteran Olamide Zaccheaus. Meanwhile, Jahan Doston projects as the third receiver on the depth chart, leaving Branch buried all the way down in the No. 4 role. This offense has so much uncertainty at the quarterback position that it's hard to envision Branch getting onto the redraft radar at any point during his rookie season. In the meantime, he's expected to operate as the Falcons' punt returner.
