| News for Branch, Zachariah |

Falcons head coach Kevin Stefanski said Zachariah Branch (hamstring) will not play in Week 9 against the Bengals. 2026-11-02 14:00:02 Branch suffered a hamstring injury in Week 8’s shutout loss to the Buccaneers and will miss next week’s game against the Bengals in Madrid. The rookie third-rounder has caught just 10 passes for 64 scoreless yards this season and has also served as the Falcons’ primary kick and punt returner. |

Zachariah Branch caught 1-of-2 targets for nine yards in the Falcons’ Week 7 win over the 49ers. 2026-10-25 17:00:03 It seemed like Branch would be in for a bigger role in Week 7 with Olamide Zaccheaus out with a shoulder injury. However, Branch ran a route on just 18 of 37 dropbacks and was only targeted twice. It doesn’t seem like he’s anywhere close to playing a large enough role for fantasy value and doesn’t need to be held through the bye weeks in redraft leagues. |

Zachariah Branch caught both of his targets for 14 yards in the Falcons’ Week 2 loss to the Panthers. 2026-09-20 18:00:02 Branch’s primary duties still come on kick and punt returns, but Kevin Stefanski made it a point to get him more involved this week. He was held without a catch or even a target in Week 1. Branch isn’t on the fantasy radar yet, but dynasty managers can be pleased with his role taking a step in the right direction. |

Zachariah Branch (hamstring) will play in Week 1 against the Steelers. 2026-09-11 14:00:06 Branch was limited by the hamstring issue for the first two practices of the week. He got up to a full practice on Friday and was cleared for Week 1. Branch will likely see a few designed touches in his NFL debut, but fantasy managers will want to wait until he overtakes Olamide Zaccheaus on the depth chart before getting him into their lineups. |

Falcons WR Zachariah Branch (hamstring) was limited on Thursday. 2026-09-10 16:00:03 The Falcons’ third-round rookie wide receiver could end up playing this week, but his inability to practice fully will keep him in a pure backup role. Branch does not need to be rostered in 12-team leagues. |
