Where he fits
Zachariah Branch plays for the ATL as a WR, wearing number 17. This is his first season in the league.
His job: The team's own depth chart lists him first at punt returner — that's the order they'd normally use.
Last time out: He was active but didn't record any counting stats. He played about 30% of the offensive snaps — a real role, but not a every-down one.
