Availability
Zachariah Branch (hamstring) is off of the injury report ahead of Week 2's game against the Carolina Panthers.
Fantasy Impact
The rookie was recently listed on Atlanta's injury report due to a hamstring injury, but he was able to play last week and is now off of the injury report entirely heading into Week 2. He saw some work on offense and on special teams in his NFL debut last week, but fantasy managers shouldn't expect him to be relevant for the foreseeable future.
Zachariah Branch (hamstring) is off of the injury report for Sunday's game against the Pittsburgh Steelers.
Fantasy Impact
The rookie was limited at practice earlier in the week due to a hamstring injury, but he is over it now and is off of the injury report ahead of Sunday's game. He isn't expected to be a strong fantasy option against the Steelers, however, especially with Cooper Rush set to start at QB for the Falcons in the absence of Tua Tagovailoa (oblique).
Zachariah Branch (hamstring) was a limited participant at practice on Thursday.
Fantasy Impact
The rookie was once again left limited at practice. He's still recovering from a hamstring injury of some kind, and it remains unclear whether or not he will be ready to play in time for Week 1. Look for Jahan Dotson to see more work if Branch is unable to make his NFL debut on Sunday.
Zachariah Branch (hamstring) was limited at practice on Wednesday.
Fantasy Impact
The rookie was limited at Atlanta's practice on Wednesday due to a minor hamstring injury that he's dealing with. It remains to be seen whether or not it will affect his availability for Week 1, but either way he isn't expected to be fantasy relevant for the time being.
Zachariah Branch got some high praise from HC Kevin Stefanski, who said the rookie wideout is “wired the right way” and “somebody that really puts in the effort on a day-to-day basis.”
Fantasy Impact
Branch has made some highlight plays already in training camp, and with the No.2 receiver spot wide open, he’ll have every opportunity to impress and claim it. How he will be used in a Stefanski style offense will be interesting, as it doesn’t traditionally cater to Branch’s style of play, but that could change.
