Dieon Branche

How do you feel New England's WR Dieon Branche will fare this, and do you feel, in time, he could be NE's #1 WR?

Tom Brady loves him and NE loves Tom Brady. They should continue to produce good numbers.

This season, he'll most likely have his ups and downs. He'll explode at times and look brilliant, but there will also be games when a savvy veteran defender will eat him for lunch and his numbers will look awful. Play him when you like the matchup he'll be facing. Teams that have trouble when more than two receivers come at them will provide him with his best days.

Long-term, I feel he has the talent to be among the top WRs not only for the Patriots, but in the whole league. Talent alone won't take him there, however, so he unfortunately can't be considered a sure thing in keeper leagues. But if the Pats don't push him too much too soon, and if Branch himself has the necessary work ethic, he could be pretty special.

Deion Branch will be new englands #1 reciever after about 3 years if he doesn't get hurt. He ripping up on the other teams. BUT Antwian Randel El i think will be better them him because he's faster and he can be a QB or a reciver

I think Branch will turn out to be a solid #2-#3 fantasy receiver this year. It is pretty clear that he has the skills. Living in Boston I have had the opportunity to see plenty of him. He had one amazing pre-season game plus his two great individual effort plays in the each of the first two games. I picked him up in my main league and plan on using him in a way that Arlo described. It is all about the matchups. Troy Brown gets a lot of attention allowing Branch to be matchup up against the opposing teams 2nd DB. So his speed will set him free .

The reason why i think that he will be there #1 reviever in 3 years is because most rookies have a awesome rookie year then suck big time the next and the year after that is when you see how good they are actually going to be

I agree and as a side note, Branch will never be a great FF player as long as he is in this system. Brady loves to spread the ball around and they have a lot of young talent so I don't think he will be able to emerge anytime soon.

I live in Boston and I must agree. Too many good receivers, no great ones, so Brady will spread it around.
