Kenny Britt Dynasty Thread (1 Viewer)

[Sabertooth]

Kenny Britt stormed out of the gates in weeks 1 and 2 registering all kinds of targets, catches and touchdowns. He was among the leading fantasy producer among wideouts with Miles Austin and Steve Smith. He's obviously quite a bit younger than those guys though and he did suffer the ugly injury.

So where do you rank him heading into the offseason. I'm not sure I can put him in the top 10 let alone top 5 or 6. Then again he is just scratching the surface of his career.

Dude will be top 10 if he plays every game. Two seasons ago, he had several explosive games, and he began this season doing the same. It's all predicated on Locker's development, but he's shown me enough this year that, yeah, Britt will be in the top 10.

 

[ConnSKINS26]

If Locker can target Britt like he's seemed to target Washington in his few starts, Britt will be a top-5 WR.

Don't forget to add if: Britt can keep his nose clean.

He's done a good job so far, and he had all season to mess up. Staying in Tenn has really helped him.

 

[King of the Jungle]

Assuming he keeps in decent shape and stays out of jail he should approach top 10.

 

[Shutout]

I have him in NO leagues but wish I did. despite the question marks, this guy is simply a younger, faster Terrell Owens. I would love to have him in dynasty.

This is also a concern. He's Brandon Marshall redux.

He was released in my dynasty league this season, I just happened to be sitting there and saw it and jumped on him. I hate the FCFS system but it worked beautifully for me this time.

Lol, not even close as bm has had 3-4 times as many run-ins with the law by this point at britts age

 

[Eastwood]

Not worth the risk IMO.

 

[Concept Coop]

Elite talent, yes. Headache to own, and my gut says that continues. But, worth a shot, IMO.

Not sure about that. Britt is only 23 now.

 

[TS Garp]

Not worth the risk IMO.

Injury risk or suspension risk? Or both?

 

[Tackling Dummies]

He'll be a value due to his injury, off field stuff, incoming class and WRs that are coming off good seasons and that TEN is not a wide open offense.

 

[thriftyrocker]

Are we saying top 15 with VJax and Maclin or top 25 with Demaryius and Crabtree?

BM had about a dozen run-ins with the law before entering the NFL. Most were domestic dispute stuff with ex-gfs. I think he was only formally arrested once and that's cuz he didn't hit a woman that time, but a cop. Even when he and his now wife were in a physical altercation in ATL witnessed by a cop, no charges were filed. I guess she was saving up all those non-arrest events so she wouldn't get arrested after stabbing him.I'm not saying that Britt is a good citizen, just that there's a huge difference between him and BM. BM will have three run-ins before Britt gets in trouble again

 

[Concept Coop]

I don't know about that. Bailing gang-members and alleged murders out of jail is a big question mark. So is evading arrest.

 

[The Captain]

If Locker progresses and Britt stays healthy I say right now that he finishes top 3 in 2012.

Only WRs I want over hIm in dynasty are Calvin and Green. I don't draft him #3 because I won't have to, but I rank him there. He has all world talent.

Love me some knucklehead!

A dozen sounds high. I'd like to see a link on that.

 

[eakfootball]

I loved him last year, and thought he had a real shot to be a top 3 WR. Now the injury will be a concern, but assuming it heals well I expect him to finish in the top 10-15.

 

[Bri]

Britt wasn't great two years ago. The Eagles had horrific secondary play in one game and he made several UNCONTESTED catches that led to a 200+ yard game that very much aided his yearly stats. Moss, you may recall, was supposed to be able to replace him when Britt was nicked up. He missed the next six games.

His total for the year was 700ish yards just like his rookie year. Getting 200+ in one game, remember. Most of his games that year were less than 50 yards.

It did seem like that game(and maybe Moss' tutelage) gave him confidence he didn't have. He's done significantly better ever since.

Two years ago he was very much a developmental project still and dropped many easy passes and....alright one sec...PFR

[TwinTurbo]

I think Britt would have been top 5 WR if he had stayed healthy. Assuming he recovers 100%, he's easily top 10 material.

 

[gianmarco]

Coincidence that "Dynasty Thread" rhymes with "Arrested"?

Only if you are a substandard rapper.

 

[stbugs]

Britt looked great, but do you think that the emergence of Washington and Williams could hurt him? Also, if the Titans do in fact improve their OL play and Johnson fares better, that could also hurt him. Don't forget that Cook ended up with almost 759 yards as well.

That said, if everyone is healthy next year, the Titans Offense could be a lot better than what we saw this year and if Locker progresses, he could be a real sleeper for next year.

 

[Kenny Powers]

at people calling Britt Top 5 or even Top 10 next year when he's coming off a torn ACL and we have no idea what his health will even be by the time training camp starts.

Cook is the one to worry about but he likely will continue to be up and down.A more effective run game helps Britt.Damian Williams is a sell.

 

[msommer]

Munchak has stated it'll be an open competition at QB which means we have no idea which WR (or TE) will be favourrd, even if Britt returns to health and 2011 form. We have, what, two or three partial games from Locker (where he looked pretty good, but likely with a limited playbook) so we really cannot extrapolate on him.

Cook has been a tease since he was drafted, but he is getting involved more, and particularly down the stretch. He's not set the world on fire yet (3 TDs only for the year).

Damian Williams hasn't emerged yet, three good games or so, and fewer yards than Cook on about the same amount of receptions. By that measure Lavelle Hawkins has emerged as well. If anyone has emerged it is Nate Washington.

There are a lot of receivers, semi broken down experience or inexperienced youth at QB, and then the injury (not to mention the draft as well).

I love the off season (also)

Why do we think Britt, entering his fourth year and coming off an ACL injury will improve to elite status, but we think Damian Williams, entering his third year after doing nearly as well as Britt in his second, will regress? Isn't it possible that Williams will take a big step forward in his third year? He didn't have the benefit of much of an off season between rookie and second year. He seemed to improve as this second year went on.

Britt has shown he can dominate games. He has shown he can perform at elite levels even if it is only 2 games last year or a 5 week streak the year before. There was inconsistency, but there was also domination.Williams has shown he can contribute to an NFL team. He could get better, I will definitely grant you that, but his upside is capped much lower than Britt. This still makes him a sell in my book. The chance that he is anything more than a bye-week substitution is low, and if anyone in your league sees more, then their offer is worth taking.While you don't want any player to blow a knee out, Britt will still be tall; he will still be strong. And positive reports about his recovery started appearing about October.

Actually, it's not strange, it's wrong.

Britt 2010: 12 games, 7 starts, 42/775/9 receiving, 18.5 ypr, 5 80+ yard games

Williams 2011: 15 games, 13 starts, 45/592/5 receiving, 13.2 ypr, 2 80+ yard games

Now consider that in 2010, the Titans attempted 474 passes, compared to 584 this season. The extra games for Williams and passing attempts for the offense led Williams to get 94 targets, compared to 73 for Britt in 2010. Yet look how much more Britt did with those targets.

This is not "nearly as well". Williams has potential, but Britt is at least a few tiers higher than Williams right now, despite the injury.

 

[Banemorth]

So the Titans made some moves in the draft.

Where do you see Britt's value at going into this season?

I could trade him for Doug Martin straight up but I'm not doing that, if that's an indication. Martin was taken at the 1.2 in the rookie draft.

 

[az_prof]

He only played three games last year so I totally agree. Three years in the league and he hasn't put up an elite year yet despite ample opportunity. Lots of players flash great ability and have great games, but the great fantasy players can CONSISTENTLY, game after game, year after year, put up elite numbers. You are paying elite cost for potential production at this point.

this is pretty awful analysis. not sayin britt is gunna be great, he proly wont, since he tore his acl. but lol at writing off a wr for not putting up elite numbers right away. esp when they have shown flashes of greatness.

 

[Beetlejuice]

I think the question that needs to be answered is the intent of the Kendall Wright selection. The Titans appeared to have more pressing needs than WR in the first round. Did they take Wright because of the injury to Britt and their concerns over his recovery? Did they take Wright because they are not sold on Williams and his potential as a WR2? What about Nate Washington? There had to be a pre-draft plan to take him if he was there, I doubt they used the #20 pick to be their 2012 WR4. I just find it hard to believe that they took Wright due to draft board value at that time and no other reason.

 

[laughinboy_2000]

[/quoteThis is the exact trade I just made. I actually included a second round draft pick along with my offer. I need some help at RB on my team, so I had to make a move. I was a big Britt fan until I saw that they drafted Wright. The Titans IMO just have too many options now on offense. Britt, CJ, Cook, Nate Washington. And people are lying if they don't say the ACL injury does not stick in the back of their mind. Don't get me wrong, I think Britt will be OK, but I am very high on Doug Martin, who reminds me a bit of Ray Rice. Speed, elusiveness, vision, nice hands. NFC South is not that great against the run either. I can't wait to see what DMart can do...

ofc they took him bc of his "draft board value" or whatever that means. they have a bunch of mediocre wrs and a dude coming off an acl. they grade out wright highly and take him. its that simple.ofc they arent sold on williams being a wr2 or nate washington being actually good. ofc they arent sold on britt recovering considering there is no way to know how effective he will be as of right now.wr was a big need on this team and they graded this guy high.

No it definitely wasn't a good post, crap actually. Somebody disagrees with him so he's annoyed. Fact is people are paying for him like he is a top 5 wr guaranteed. Which isn't smart. It's not writing the guy off by saying that he's overvalued. He may be elite but there are no guarantees.

 

[cvnpoka]

well if ppl are paying that much for britt that def seems to be a mistake. i remember last yr he was going in the 7-9th round and his acl was still intact. funny he has risen that much.

Projecting greatness after a few games is folly. Maybe he is great, maybe not. I'm most shocked to hear that he hasn't been arrested again actually. He tops out at Brandon Marshall both on and off the field.

 

[cvnpoka]

he is nothing like marshall on the field. marshall is a possession receiver with the size and strength to make huge plays after catch and win jump balls. marshalls hands are suspect. britt is a burner with great hands.

britt ypc 17.5

marshall ypc 12.6
