Branch's lack of production in his debut eerily mirrors Calvin Ridley's debut in 2018. Ridley was held to zero catches on two targets in his rookie debut, but the following week against the Panthers, he broke out with four catches and a touchdown. That continued in the ensuing weeks, as he combined for five more touchdowns over the next two games.

Ridley's 2018 debut mirrors Branch's; Panthers game could spark breakout.

The source draws a parallel to Calvin Ridley's 2018 rookie debut, noting that Ridley was held to zero catches on two targets in his debut but broke out the following week against the Panthers with four catches and a touchdown, then combined for five more touchdowns over the next two games. The source suggests this historical blueprint indicates Branch could experience a similar Week 2 breakout if the coaching staff executes the game plan to unleash him.
