Alexander is a beast. What a great 5th pick

Depth chart says Pittman. Graham has been used some so far, and Pittman has been receiving short passes.

Branch is killing me!! What's goin' on? Are they even throwing his way? No excuse for this. I'll probably loose because of his lack of production.

At least you didn't have Evans, Branch and SJax going today...

I started Branch in four leagues... AWESOME... It gets even more fun when we start talking about Curry riding the pine in one of them...

Did anyone see this game? Can someone comment on what the hell happened to Branch? I mean, he's easily the best WR on their team, and I don't see how TB's corners could have shut him down like this... anyone?

Honestly, it was because Hasselbeck just really didn't seem to be in complete ryhthm, especially in the first half. Once they did get into the game Hasselbeck had that pass to Bobby Engram to go down the field deep and get the Alexander TD, and then the mismatch with Morris going deep against Brooks. I wasn't at the game so I couldn't tell you whether he was really covered well, double-teamed, or if he just wasn't creating any separation. He was targeted a couple of times but underthrown twice and well defended the other time I saw. He might have only had 3 passes throw his way.

From a fantasy perspective I think Branch will be fine, but from a real life perspective I think he did a great job taking the pressure off the rest of the team's receivers as TB was clearly going to not him beat them.
