Time to pick up Branch?

12-team PPR with a flex spot.

I have Braylon, CJ2, Jennings and Meachum.  I picked up Meacham after hearing about Colston, but the more I think about it, should I take Branch over him?  With Burleson gone, Branch should be decent, right?  My first bye for WR is week 4.  We have small rosters, so I don't really have room for both unless I drop Scheff (I have Winslow).  Was hoping he would gain momentum over the first few weeks, so I could trade him.  Not sure here.  Meacham could be huge, but the safe play would probably be Branch.  Thoughts?

I'd be worried about Branch coming back fully healthy. I'd go with Meachem

P Manning, Palmer; MJD, DMac, D Brown; Boldin, Bowe, Marshall, Walter, A Gonzalez; Lewis; Cards, Broncos; Kaeding

Start QB, RB, 2 WR, RB/WR, TE, D/ST, Kicker

Standard scoring, no PPR, all TDs 6 pts

Pick him up if you can afford to sit him a couple more weeks. He should be good to go week 4 hopefully week3.

Tough call but since Meachem is playing this week I'd roll with him. If he gets little to no action I'd grab Branch next week. It's really tough to come back from ACL tears. Not sure how effective he'll be when he gets back.

I would pick up Branch, but he won't play till week 5.  Engram should be back the same game after bye week, but Branch for sure.  They like to toss the ball around.  Meachem is 4rth on depth chart and has to play his way up, and fact they didn't even have him dressed last week makes me think Colston could be back before he moves up.  Moore is solid WR and has done decent with Brees in past.

I am driving the Josh Johnson bandwagon……All Aboard
