Gary Davenport
If Branch is healthy and catches a break or two (all defensive backs need them), he's capable of being the No. 1 DB overall--he was fourth in points per game among safeties a year ago. But Branch tore his Achilles last December and the PUP list is a possibility to start the year. At what he'll cost, that's a killer.

Will be coming off a serious injury, but there's no other safety I'd want in fantasy. Fills the box score.
