Second procedure possible for Britt

http://ten.247sports.com/Article/Kenny-Britts-knee-is-progressing-but-second-procedure-possible-73616

 

[imagroid]

Britt has played in 12 full games the past two years and put up 56/1046/12. Pro-rated for 16 games that's 74/1391/16.

2 years of stats and you still have to prorate to 16 games...not exactly a good sign.

Now that sucks. Huge red flag for me.

 

[cvnpoka]

Britt's injury was not just an ACL tear. He completely tore his ACL and MCL. This is almost always accompanied with a torn meniscus. The terrible triad is a much more sever injury than a torn ACL. The swelling he's getting now is completely normal for such a severe injury, and in no way indicates that he isn't rehabbing properly. The fact that he is able to run at nearly full speed now is a good sign. However, the severity of the injury makes it somewhat unlikely that he'll be at full speed this year. In short, I'm worried about the injury in redrafts and much less concerned in dynasty.

im not sure that he tore his meniscus. i did some googling and didnt find anything. players def can avoid meniscus damage with an acl mcl as i believe brady and welker did.anyway, looks like they indeed did overcook it in early training

Tennessee Titans WR Kenny Britt (knee) underwent arthroscopic knee surgery Wednesday, May 16, to reduce swelling in his right knee. General manager Ruston Webster said the procedure likely will set Britt's rehab back a week or two.[ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ OUR VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ]It's a minor procedure and one that is unlikely to threaten his overall recovery. Britt was fantastic to begin the season last year before a week three injury against the Broncos. The team will be careful with him in training camp so they don't aggravate this injury. "My knee started swelling," Britt said. "I didn't know it would do that and it kind of worried me. It was actually the low point of all this. But ... I am still confident with the knee."

Right now is when I'd be running around trying to pick up Britt everywhere I could.

This procedure was minor. In all likelihood the worst impact it has on him is he's not quite himself next season. Britt, Julio Jones and AJ Green are all within a few months apart in age and all about a year older than Blackmon and Floyd. Point being he should still be good next year but if you have to wait until 2013 for him to be back to the player he looked like he had become last season it's not a big deal considering what his current cost to acquire him is in most leagues.

You have lost your mind. Each additional knee surgery means more wear and tear on the knee. Britt's ability to be a consistently good receiver seems to be getting worse by the day. His future is in jepoardy.

No I've not lost my mind. It's 2012 not 1972. ACL's are not ending careers for a lot of 22-23 year old players. We just saw Robert Griffin get selected #2 overall in the draft and he's had an ACL surgery. Was RG3's injury as severe as Britt's? No but at Britt's same position Colston has endured I think 5 or more surgeries of which at least two were the major variety and on both knees not just one. He's 29 and just got a 5 year contract with $17 million guaranteed so the Saints seem to feel you can have a fairly long career post ACL.As for fantasy perception let me introduce this info. In the last week or so ago the FFPC kicked off 5 start-up dynasty leagues with annual buy in of $750-1,250 per team. So we are talking serious and generally knowledgeable owners. In those drafts Britt had an ADP of player 38 and Colston had an ADP of player 57. Britt's 6 years younger and his knee surgeries have not come anything close to the severity or amount of Colstons and he was picked within 20 players of him in startup drafts.As for the knucklehead factor. That was a concern this time last year no doubt. Now let me ask how many games Britt been suspended? Zero. How many off the field incidents have been reported about Britt since his run-ins last off season? Zero. I don't know the guy so who knows but by all accounts from what I've read about him and what he's not done he seems to be growing up.Now I'm not discounting he has risk but that risk is built into the price which is why I'd said I'd be trying to acquire him now . In those drafts I referenced AJ Green and Julio Jones, players of similar age and skill IMO are first/second round turn guys of a 12 team league but of course they have no red flags. Generally they were picked a good 20+players before Britt. Now I don't know much Britt's stock has dropped since these latest procedure but let's just say it's dropped a round, which I think is fairly conservative so now lets say he's player 50. At this price point I still contend I'm buying all day. That's a risk/reward price I'm willing to take.

I'm suprised at how low Nate Washington is viewed right now. With Britt's injuries and being a headcase and with the low chance of a rookie doing much in Wright, Washington looks to be the play here. The guy was the 15th best WR in the league last year in PPR leagues. So, the Titans are just going to forget about him? I just picked him up after an owner cut him last week in dynasty and I was the only bid. He's only 28 as well.

Could be. But it is unusual for a team that is rebuilding and has many needs, to use a first round pick at a position where they are confident that they have a young, reliable, future stud. This is especially true of WR. One of the few times I can remember a team using first round picks on WR in this situation (where you already have a WR who was recently drafted in the first round) was Detroit--and they did it because they weren't confident in Charles Rogers or later in Mike Williams.

It's not unusual at all for a team to draft a WR early with an already established star on the roster. In the two drafts prior to this year, Dallas drafted Dez Bryant a year after Miles Austin broke out and Atlanta added Julio Jones with Roddy White already on the roster (and both teams actually traded up in the draft in order to take their WR). This year, both Arizona (as ItsOnlytheRiver mentioned) and Tennessee selected WRs in the first round despite having an established receiver already on their roster (although Britt is certainly debatable in that regard as evidenced by this thread).

Roddy White was 30 when ATL drafted Jones. Big difference.Dallas did have Miles Austin but he had struggled with injuries his whole career and was not an elite pick. It wasn't like they had selected him in the first round a few years earlier.

Is Fitzgerald a knucklehead coming off a poor healing ACL?

No, but that wasn't the point of his post. The knucklehead factor and ACL are points worth noting. In fact, they've been noted and debated much of this thread. While the drafting of a WR may give indication of Tennessee's expectations or plans for Britt the fact is no one knows why they drafted Wright and there are plenty of good reasons why they may have - none of which have to do with Britt. Concluding that Tenneesse's motive for drafting a WR was to replace Britt is lazy and illogical. Just like concluding that the Cardinals are replacing Fitz because they spent a top 15 pick on a WR would be even more illogical. Tell me, why would the Cardinals spend such a high pick on a position they already have filled with one of the best?

 

[menobrown]

Concluding that Tenneesse's motive for drafting a WR was to replace Britt is lazy and illogical.

Agreed, that to me is no different than the Cards taking Floyd or the Lions spending back to back second round picks on WR's. None of those picks had anything to do with replacing Fitz or Calvin. A point could just as easily be made that the Titans view Britt as a major piece of their offense and want to surround him with talent so that opposing defenses would have more trouble commiting coverage to stopping him.

 

[lbouchard]

The knucklehead factor is a tired and a played out one. He did have his more than his fair share of transgressions, but he is still very young. After his ACL, he stayed in Tennessee to train and he got married. Nothing has been heard from him in quite a while. Plus he never actually got suspended.

He's been arrested 6 times by the age of 23. That's a knucklehead. I mean come on. Now I do think there's a strong chance he has turned the corner and will keep his nose clean, but you certainly can't discount his past, because there is a risk.

Yea, and LT was convicted of raping a minor. Yet he was a transcendent defensive end who was so dominate that he forever changed expectations of his position.Unless off the field stuff has such an impact that he's missing practice or playing time, I don't see the point in bringing the relevancy to fantasy discussion. Character concerns are vastly over-used, for lack of other topics to evaluate the person. 95% of the debate with Britt should be his ability to come back from injury, since he's clearly going to have the opportunities if he does so.I recently took him in the 4th round in a PPR dynasty start-up and I couldn't feel better about it. The potential rewards given his age outweigh the risks, in my opinion.

 

[TheCommish]

I had him last year for those first two amazing games. I want him on my team again because I don't want him playing for another team. He's young, explosive, and the clear #1 WR on an offense where defenses have to respect the run. You HAVE to take a chance on him considering his upside.

Wasn't LT convicted long after he had retired? Not sure why you're using that as an example. And *never* bringing off the field stuff into a fantasy discussion seems pretty ridiculous (to me at least). Sure, I don't think it's the biggest deal, but you really think Brandon Marshall owners are completely secure that he's never going to get into trouble again? Britt has a history of trouble, a history of making poor decisions at best. It may never come into play again, but if it does, it's not like it's something that was impossible to predict. You may not pay any attention to a player's off-the-field stuff, but it absolutely is worth mentioning in a fantasy discussion. Again, just my opinion. And I say this as a Britt fan.

whats the shark move

Find the Britt owner in your league and pray that he's thinking like FINITO. Last offseason, I traded Cassel for him right around the time Britt was supposed to get suspended. The Britt owner was a hyper-conservative guy with only the then-unstudly Eli and Garrard at QB. Never even got a counter. Accepted! Britt is a stud point blank. At his age, you grab him and hope for the best.

That's crazy. I like Britt, I think he's a terrific talent. No way in heck would I trade him for garbage like that. All I'm saying is there is a possibility he does something stupid at some point. If I have him I'm not giving him away.

Update?I still love Britt's talent, but are people really still thinking that off the field issues are non-existent in terms of fantasy relevance? Is the knucklehead factor still tired and played out?

DWI on a military base, increase knucklehead factor and the potential for suspension accordingly: http://espn.go.com/nfl/story/_/id/8183998/tennessee-titans-receiver-kenny-britt-arrested-dwi-army-base

 

[Coeur de Lion]

Relevant? Yes. A deal breaker? Not even close.

He's 23. Assuming a 9 or 10 year career moving forward, he'll probably spend less than 10% of that suspended, so I wouldn't discount him too much. Brandon Marshall has a legal history just as troubling, and he's in most people's top-10 (PPR-wise, anyway).

Knee injury + DUI = nice buy low window IMO. You just have to write off the first half of 2012...

Of course you grab him in a fleecing like that, but I would be very wary of trading away similar on field value for him right now.

Unless of course he's out of the league because he's in prison like Jamal Lewis or Travis Henry. Don't forget his past trouble, it isn't like he just made one bad decision.

Jamal popped right out of his jail cell and back onto the gridiron, didn't he? So did Ray Lewis, Leonard Little, and Mike Vick. If a guy can play, he'll find a home.Not to mention the resources available to these guys make a lengthy jail term far less likely than it is for a normal person with a similar rap sheet.It adds an element of risk, for sure. I just think it's less of a factor than is commonly perceived.

Maybe it isn't a big deal. But his character is terrible so the floor can fall out on him at any point.

 

[Coeur de Lion]

I'd worry more if it was translating to the football field, like it has with Dez Bryant - doesn't know routes, conditioning issues. Still a buyer on Dez, but think he's more of a risk as far as "getting it" ON the field. I have zero questions about that stuff w/ Britt -- he's straight beasted the past two years when he played.

Just have to hope he doesn't get shot or something truly awful like that.

 

[Punch]

To me, he's a buy low because he's going sooo cheap right now while some owners are in panic mode so I'm cashing in. Does anyone think he'll get more than four games? The knee scopes he's had recently were reportedly minor and others have been through the same and come through fine..... i.e. MJD and Colston 2011. I traded for him assuming that he'll be on my bench for the first half of 2012 but the sky's the limit if he can smarten the hell up.

It's not like he's pulling guns out in strip clubs and getting in fights, and as someone said earlier, his conditioning and performance has never been a problem.

I've had a Britt pants tent since that game against Philly a couple years back and the potentially huge reward outweighs the risk IMO.

Dynasty 12 teamer, just traded next years first for him, expected to be late. Bit of a risk, but hopefully if he's suspended it's early so he's good to go for a second half run.

I'd pay that in a heartbeat to get Britt.

Sounds about right.

16 Team Dynasty, I traded Crabtree and Rookie 3.11 for Britt and Rookie 4.06. I was feeling good about the trade when I made it, though I feel less good now. My team needs something to pick it up, though, so I am hoping he can come close to his first few games PPG from last year some time in the next 2 years (rebuild team right now). It looks like most do not see that happening at this point.
