Seattle wide receiver Deion Branch, still bothered by a calf injury that kept him out of last week's game, reportedly will not play in Saturday's wild-card matchup against Washington.

Commentary: After early season struggles to establish a ground game, the Seahawks became a pass-first offense. Branch's speed will be missed, but Matt Hasselbeck still has a crop of talented receivers to throw to. Look for veteran Bobby Engram to pick up the slack, something he's done all season when different Seahawk receivers have been sidelined.

Fantasy Football Impact: Take Branch out of your starting lineup for Saturday's early game.
