Anyone know, does this leave Joseph to cover Nate?

Starting to wonder if he is ever going to return to the form we saw at the beginning of last season.
I thought he looked really good last week. He almost took a few home, had some good runs after the catch and was very difficult to bring down. There was one where he took it down the left sideline, almost broke a tackle that would have made it a 40+ yard touchdown. You add that to his line and you're looking at 6 grabs for nearly 100 yards and a TD. It really sucks that he rolled his ankle at the end of the game because I thought he was primed for a breakout this week.
yeah
It doesn't even matter though, Locker will be lucky to get the ball past the line.

This could probably use a new title called "BUY KENNY BRITT NOW!!" but, I see way too many of those types.
Coach Mike Munchak hinted after Sunday's loss to the Texans, that Britt (ankle) was held out with an eye toward Week 5, the Tennessean reports. "It wasn't worth trying to work him to push him into this game," Munchak said of the call to deactivate Britt in Week 4. "We thought we'd have a better chance waiting until next Sunday.
Does anyone remember the beginning of last season with Hasselbeck? It was pure gold. Britt is Hasselbeck's favorite target & Hass has complete trust. With Britt out last week, not much production yet, and a tough D this week in Min, you can get him for a song probably.
I would be buying him all day if I didnt have him already. Locker may be done for the year if he has surgery.
Does anybody else see it like this?

Small 10 teamer and Britt was cut earlier in season. I am rolling with Britt this week with Calvin and Austin on byes (not that anyone cares). Not an ideal matchup @ Min and some uncertainty about his status, but with CJ3 getting it going last week, hopefully some type of dual threat will be there for Titans to allow the O to move the ball. Previous post pointed out a good connection between Hass and Britt to begin the season last year so hopefully some of that Mojo will carry over.
Yes

I'd roll with him if I had 100% confidence he would start Sunday, but my only other option with byes/injuries is Andre Roberts who's starting tonight, so I have to go with the safer option. So, since I'm not starting him, everyone else can have confidence that he'll blow up for 200/3 or so. 
This is an exaggeration. Hass had his first year in TEN last year and he and Britt had the first three games together.His favorite target and complete trust is as if there's a familiarity of them playing together a long time that just isn't there. They did well together 2 of 3 weeks (he got hurt) and that's something, but geesh this isn't years of Montana to Rice.Britt is hurting and has been. Everyone keeps hoping he's going to be his healthy normal self that he once was, but he hasn't had enough time to heal. In fact, the NFL season being so rough, it is highly likely he's banged up all year- a constant probable/questionable on the injury report.He is a supreme talent, no doubt, but his career is more filled with under-performing games than great ones. No NFL player has received as much credit as he did when he had 220 or so against the worst secondary play I've ever seen. He had like 700 that year and everyone ignored all the other games and focused on that big game. He has never produced worthy of his FF preseason ranking; he hasn't even had an 800 yard season yet. 6 100 yard games in 4 years (or 3 or...ugh) doesn't make him elite at all.I am all aboard the train if we're talking talent and him reaching his potential, but he sure isn't there yet.If he, CJ, and Cook played half as good as they are capable of, the Titans would instantly be a top offense in the NFL. I don't like Britt's "extra-curricular activity" for dynasty, but I can understand folks falling in love with him for dynasty. For redtaft, we're entering week 5 of a 13 week FF season and if you ask me he's WW or trade bait. But I drafted him in round (4,5,6 whatever) isn't a reason to hold onto a guy that hasn't given ya any production yet. You probably missed Andre Roberts 6 for 110 last week, maybe some Jet is going to take off this week, maybe ...he's just eating space, play the WW. If it's a deep league and you've got some depth I can see waiting, but for most leagues ya gotta be kidding me. He was inactive last week. He didn't practice today and you're waiting for what? One more week and you spent half your FF season waiting on the guy.

Lot of fail in the above post.
First of all, Britt hasn't underachieved on the field. At all. He had a very strong rookie year. He's been hurt much of the past two years, but in the 15 games he's played, he's been a monster: 1064 / 12 - easily WR1 numbers. Not sure what more a young guy in a mediocre at best passing attack could be reasonably expected to do (speaking of on the field).
Second, he wasn't a 4th - 6th round pick. He was going waaaaay later than that due to injury and suspension issues. He was a bench WR flyer for late in the season in every single draft I was in or saw.
Third, it would be incredibly stupid to invest a draft pick in the guy, knowing full well he was going to start slowly due to the suspension and recovery from knee surgery, then turn around and cut him due to the same slow start that caused him to fall to the 10th in the first place.
No one drafted Britt expecting him to tear it up in September. He was, and is, a fantastic stash WR4 in the hope that he'll be close to 100% come fantasy playoff time. Cutting him for a garbage 700 yard 4 TD Jets WR would be incredibly bad management.

End result is that most people drafted him with what we are seeing already in mind. He is a PERFECT WR4-5 right now. Yeah I am not sure where the 4th-6th came from. I felt like I took him early and that was the end of the 8th.

In the two games Hass, Britt, and Washington played together in Britt had 271 - 3TDs vs Wasington's 163 - 0. I agree that Washington might be the better play the next few weeks, but if / when Britt is back at full health, he is EASILY the guy to own regardless of who is under center.'GordonGekko said:

Wow...I guess people just get so blinded by their hope from drafting a guy they refuse to see reality.
Eh? 1 game with a full workload... 11 targets, 6 catches, 55 yds and a bunch of near missesSounds like a WR4-5 with upside to meWow...I guess people just get so blinded by their hope from drafting a guy they refuse to see reality.

Dear god yes. Britt is a freaking STUD when he's healthy. Problem is, he just cant get healthy.One of these weeks he is going to EXPLODE. I just hope his weekly cap price drops low enough before then, to make him worth taking the chance on.

I saw him go in the last round in 6 drafts. Someone just dropped him before last week and I didn't think twice about putting in a claim. If he doesn't ever get healthy than so what? What's the investment? He is a F-L-Y-E-R.
But if you don't see the potential, you just aren't looking.

Lots of good common sense to be found here.Only thing I'd add to those that want to keep hammering away that Britt has underachieved on the field. This was touched on in the post above but one thing people seem to forget is the Vince Young impact on Britt's numbers. This is why I entered last season extremely high on Britt. At the time I realized his numbers with Kerry Collins throwing to him spiked considerably when VY was his QB and we are talking about an old Kerry Collins here. He only had a few games with Hasselbeck but it was more of the same as we saw with Collins which was fairly impressive.I only count 13 games in Britt's career he's played a full game with someone other than Vince Young or Rusty Smith starting and completing the game. All other games either VY, Smith or VY/Collins split the QB reps or Britt exited the game early.In those 13 games Britt is averaging 17.7 fantasy PPG in PPR leagues. What's more is 5 of those games occurred in Britt's rookie season, the first 5 games of his career, when I believe he was the youngest player in the NFL.In those 5 games, all with Collins at QB, he averaged only 9.58 fantasy PPG. Also one of these 13 games was this season, the game he played this year which was just his first game back from two surgeries and technically he did not even finish that game. So I understand it's a small size skewed by a giant 47.5 point fantasy game but he's played a grand total of 8 full games since his rookie year and he's averaged 22.8 fantasy points per game since that time. He's also failed to only hit double digit fantasy points once in those 8 games and has hit 15+ in 6 out of 8 so he's shown consistency and explosiveness.So who knows what you are going to get with his off the field antics or if can maintain a degree of good health but I think people who disparage his performance so far are way off base.They played in 2 plus games together since he got hurt in the third. I suppose statistically that's 3. Washington and Hass played in far more together yet you and others are claiming this familiarity with Britt over Washington which is unfounded. (Guess of number) If Hass played in 20 games with Nate and 2+ with Britt, why on earth would you think he's more comfy with Britt? Nate probably had 100 more targets thrown to him from Hass.All your posts saying fail to me, insulting another person and...you just wrote here "the next few weeks." What's that 8 games of a 13 game season? Following your prediction, that puts him at weeks 9-13 doing well. One of those is a bye.'Coeur de Lion said:

Riddle me this...who's the most brittle sunofa#####in wr in the league??? Answer...it's a friggin' tie between Nicks n Britt!!! Of course I own both!!!!

Yeah, his injury history and rap sheet are definitely legitimate concerns. His value depends on how heavily an individual owner weighs those things vs. his obvious elite talent.

I hear ya!!! I have them both in a dynasty and I can be somewhat patient with them both...luckily I got Hixon off waivers last night!! Had to spend way more $ then I wanted, especially for a WR who wouldn't even make my practice squad but I had to do it. As for Britt, this guy is a legit #1 but between his health and his head, he might never reach his true potential but I'll "hold" for as long as it takes to find out, one way or the other.....
