Monster Year 2 with Detroit
Branch finished the 2024 regular season with 109 total tackles (79 solo), including 1.0 sacks, while also adding 16 passes defensed, including four interceptions, and a forced fumble over 16 games.
ANALYSIS
Branch finished second on the team in tackles, only trailing linebacker Jack Campbell, while the former was also able to intercept one more pass in 2024 than he did in his rookie campaign last year. Branch proved his versatility throughout the season as well, splitting time between safety and slot cornerback. The 23-year-old is off to quite the hot start in his NFL career, and he'll look to take another step up in 2025.

A comprehensive Sunday morning Week 16 injury rundown from RotoWire's Juan Carlos Blanco on the status of key players during the thick of the fantasy postseason.
Past Fantasy Outlooks
2024
2023
Branch was considered one of the better defensive backs in the 2023 NFL Draft, proving to be a steal after he fell to Detroit in the second round. During his rookie campaign, the 22-year-old recorded 74 tackles, including a sack, while also forcing a fumble. Playing both nickel cornerback and safety, the latter of which he settled into as the season went on, he compiled 13 pass deflections and three interceptions, one of which he returned for a touchdown. Branch figures to operate as Detroit's primary strong safety in 2024, a role in which he likely will continue to flourish.

Latest Fantasy Rumors

Ejected from Week 9 win
Branch was ejected in the first half of Sunday's 24-14 win over the Packers after a helmet-to-helmet hit on Bo Melton, Eric Woodyard of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
A 15-yard penalty was certainly warranted on Branch's hit, but the ejection was surprising, and Fox broadcaster Tom Brady disagreed with that decision. Branch made an obscene gesture at the Lambeau Field crowd as he was leaving the field, drawing a second 15-yard penalty. Detroit overcame the early exit of the starting safety to improve to 7-1. Branch is unlikely to be suspended for Week 10 against the Texans, but he'll probably be fined for his actions.
