Apple TV takes its input from a network connection:


You can’t connect USB drives directly to Apple TV. Such media input is not supported.


You can connect a USB flash drive to iPhone, using an adapter, if you think that is convenient or your only option. Connect external storage devices to iPhone - Apple Support. Then you could AirPlay from iPhone.


Note the many TVs will also support reading from USB flash drives for photo slide shows. No iPhone or Apple TV needed.
