Alan Branch has won his appeal of a four-game suspension for allegedly violating the NFL's substance-abuse policy, ESPN's Field Yates reports. Branch has avoided the suspension and won't be forced to miss any games as a result. (Field Yates on Twitter)
Fantasy Impact:
Branch has 39 tackles and one sack on the season. While those are not strong numbers for IDP consideration, Branch is extremely important to the Patriots team defense. He is a big run stopper and would have been hard to replace if he had been suspended.
