nos23 1 Posted October 8, 2007 Deion Branch is expected to miss two games after suffering a mid-foot sprain in Sunday's loss to Pittsburgh. Seattle expects Branch back after its Week 8 bye, along with fellow Week 1 starter D.J. Hackett (high ankle sprain). The loss of Branch is terrible news for Matt Hasselbeck, who looked lost without him for most of the game against the Steelers. Ben Obomanu, rookie Courtney Taylor, Nate Burleson, and Bobby Engram will attempt to fill the void. Engram could benefit most in fantasy leagues.

cowboyz 2 Posted October 8, 2007 http://blogs.thenewstribune.com/seahawks/2..._branch_2_games Strong out for season, Branch 2 gamesPosted by Darrin Beene @ 02:57:52 pm Seahawks coach Mike Holmgren just finished his Monday press briefing and had two bombshells regarding fullback Mack Strong and receiver Deion Branch. Holmgren said Strong has suffered a neck injury that will likely end his season. He said more details are coming but surgery is a possibility. Branch has a mid-foot sprain – nothing's broken – and will likely return to the team after the bye, which means he would miss the next two games. More details to come.

Joey Gladstone 33 Posted October 8, 2007 Jesus..man up Branch..Plaxico plays with a sprained foot every week. Glad we gave up a first rounder Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

nobody 2,103 Posted October 8, 2007 Judging by the recent string of events this year, I'd advise everyone to pick up Marcel Shipp. Edge is my last keeper out of 8 that's not injured or playing like a bag of feces. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Geohound 0 Posted October 8, 2007 Sucks that he'll miss the New Orleans game and I think it's the Rams after that, those were fantastic match-ups for him. Definitely pick up Bobby Engram off the waiver wire, he's Hasselbeck's favorite receiver - especially on third downs. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
idiotec 31 Posted October 9, 2007 Bah, I traded for Hasselbeck so I would have him as a Bye week fill in against NO next week. I did pick up Engram for the same purpose too, so who knows, maybe it will work out. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bones40 0 Posted October 9, 2007 Besides Engram, who stands to benefit the most? Probably Burleson I'd think. With Branch out, and Roy on a bye I'm forced to start Cotchery, Curry, Vincent Jackson and one more flex. I need to decide whether to pick up Dennis Northcut , Burleson or Dunn to fill my last flex spot. Also thinking of picking up Wright since Jamal might be out. Boy it sucks to have Addai on a bye and forced to have him handcuffed with Keith and Travis Henry on a bye and facing a year long suspension. My team is in shambles. My team was looking tough before this last week happened to me. Anyway. Sorry for rambling. My main question is what can we expect from Burleson against NO?

Joey Gladstone 33 Posted October 9, 2007 Burleson is the most physically talented receiver on the roster. He completely disappeared against Pittsburgh last week and has some drops this season. However, against New Orleans I could see him working over Mekenzie or David for a score or two. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Little Big Head 6 Posted October 9, 2007 I still think Hackett is the best reciever they have Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Joey Gladstone 33 Posted October 9, 2007 I still think Hackett is the best reciever they have agreed, but Burleson has the most talent. I can't wait for Hackett to get back. This would have been his breakout year. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bones40 0 Posted October 9, 2007 branch was on a roll. this kinda sucks for us branch owners. Yeah it does, 20+ points a game in my PPR league the last 3 weeks, and now this. I was trying to sell high on him on saturday too, the day before he got injured. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Vince44 202 Posted October 9, 2007 Engram should've been picked up when Hackett got hurt but now with Branch out he may be tough to get. The guy never drops any passes and gets plenty of targets regardless. I think he'll have something solid like 7/75 TD and if Burleson keepings dropping balls it could be even better.

Blaneyfan 0 Posted October 9, 2007 agreed, but Burleson has the most talent. I can't wait for Hackett to get back. This would have been his breakout year. Anyone know when Hackett is scheduled to return? Branch is one of those guys that is on almost all my rosters, so it really sucks!. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Queso Viejo 0 Posted October 9, 2007 Anyone know when Hackett is scheduled to return? Branch is one of those guys that is on almost all my rosters, so it really sucks!. Everything I've seen says he'll be back after their bye week, so that would be Week 9. Someone just dropped Hackett in my dynasty league so I'm hoping I can grab him off waivers.

I thankfully picked up Engram a few weeks ago, he's been very productive for my team which hasn't been notably productive receiving-wise. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
