Kenny Britt (2 Viewers)

After looking back, yes, I was overly optimistic - I had thought he missed more games than two.
Is there any reason to hold onto him in a twelve team league? I'm still heasitating to dump him, based on upside, but why? Can someone make the case for me to dump him?

And this pops up -
The Nashville Tennessean is "sure" the Titans would listen to trade offers for Kenny Britt, but is "skeptical" they could get a meaningful return.
Coming off a lost 2012 and off to a disastrous start, Britt wouldn't fetch more than a day-three pick, and likely a low-end one at that. In other words, it might not even be worth it for Tennessee to sell low on its former No. 1 receiver, even in a walk year. The Lions, 49ers, Patriots, Ravens, Eagles and Panthers are just a few of the teams with a big-time need at receiver, however, so it would be far from surprising if someone eventually took the plunge.
Why would a trade help his value? Certainly wouldnt hurt it..

ANY pick for a WR who is basically refusing to play, is a good move.
ANY pick for a player the QB has asked to SIT OUT the most important drive of the game, is a good move
Why is this even a question?
You ditch a problem, and a salary and get a player who may pan out instead in the draft

Honestly, I doubt it. This has 7th written all over it, and it maybe even a conditional. Still, the Titans may just do it.

What did Pittsburgh get for Holmes? I would think Britt would be lower because he hasn't done as much as Holmes had done and there are still questions about his recovery from injury.

I'll be shocked if anyone gives the Titans anything at all for Britt. They'd be renting him for 13 games, who knows if he can even still play, he's #####ing about his role in the media, and he's a huge risk for off-field embarrassment. Plenty of teams will kick the tires for free next offseason, but no one's gonna cough up a pick, even a 7th, for a dude with this much baggage.

on a good team, not a sure thing 7th would even make team...if team thinks they can rehabilitate him, the advantage to a trade is not having to compete for his services...
2013 could be 13 game audition to see if worth re-signing...
that said, due to so many issues on and off the field, i don't think I would want the headache, even at a bargain bin price...

Anything is possible, but is a good team really going to want to insert a clown like Britt into their lockerroom to potentially complain about targets and / or get arrested again? I'm all in on the dude in dynasty (albeit having bought really low every time after various arrests and injuries), and would love to see it happen, but as I said, I'd be pretty surprised. NFL GMs are generally a pretty conservative bunch.

I found this take on Britt at Fantasy Sharks under The Fire Sale Week 4 having to do with waiver wire thoughts:

Has anyone thrown out Mikel Leshoure for Kenny Britt? or Leshoure + 7th for Britt??

This about sums it up. Best case scenario he gets traded. But that presumes that the reason he has sucked this season is because of situation and not effort. What if he really is just a lackadaisical, ego-centric guy who thinks he can get by forever on talent? If that's the case, then a change of scenery won't help. Again, best case scenario is a trade to Detroit where he won't be focal point of offense and where his ego hopefully will be kept in check, and he will gets some decent looks against the second best corner back. In that scenario, I see him as a good WR3--if his attitude doesn't hold him back. But in the meantime I think it is hard to keep him rostered in re-draft. In dynasty you can only hold and hope.

Where did you read that? Saying here in Nashville he has a fractured rib from a hit he took.
az_prof
Footballguy
I just saw the fractured "slight rib fracture" claim too. And I also saw that he expects to practice tomorrow. With a fractured rib? I don't know but something stinks if you ask me.
I think Britt is a lost cause, can't see the Titans getting anything higher than a 6th for him at this point. You know that when a team openly dogs their WR in the media, he has 0 value. NFL GMs are smarter then to drive their players stock down before looking to unload him. IMO, this gets ugly. The Titans put up with his nonsense and got nothing in return on the field, this could potentially be Bucs/Keyshawn-esq. They know this is his contract year and they know he's looking for another payday. Best revenge? Bench him and if he acts up? Suspend him for conduct which further blackballs him. I think the Titans have given up on Britt and are now expediting the reaping of what he sowed.

Proven headcase receivers without injury issues are traded for pretty cheap: Santonio Holmes for a 4th, Marshall for 2 2nds (okay, not cheap) and then a 3rd the other time, I believe. Moss for a 4th, and then a 3rd the next time.
These guys were producers. Big time. Proven playmakers.
I have always been a Britt guy, but other than different shorter periods of great production years ago, he's got no proven production. And he's generally regarded as a headcase. And now, he's regarded as a guy who doesn't give a #### about football.
He's worth crap. And if he's traded, its because the Titans wanted to be rid of him, not because they got a good deal. They'll probably take whatever they can get at this point, outside the division.

Britt stinks either way. The hit he took was nasty, though.

I picked him up after he was dropped in our shallow dynasty league. He's a placekeeper unless he gets traded to the Lions. I have to pull Andre Brown off IR around week 11. Britt will either have established himself by then or he'll be an easy cut.
Coeur de Lion

IMO he pretty much has no chance of doing anything at all this year unless he gets traded. But he might land somewhere good next year. NE needs WRs badly and has a history of signing talented headcases at WR, for example (hey, a Britt owner can hope, can't I?).
Sabertooth
Footballguy
That's my thought. If he got traded to New England or Detroit you might have something. If not, he's an end of the roster type of kid. I laugh because this knucklehead keeps ending up on my teams.

If they make a move for a guy it better be someone who can catch the football. Not interested in Little or Britt because of the inconsistent hands.

Pretty sure compensatory picks are based on the player's production. If they're intent on not really using him, then that compensatory pick may not happen at all, let alone be a 6th. At best, I think they'd be hoping for a 7th, which I would think a WR needy team would be willing to part with... especially one with a deep roster and extra picks next year (of which a few exist).Quez said:
Regarding Britt's attitude - yes, absolutely he's a headcase. But don't underestimate a headcase's motivation in a contract year. This could definitely get ugly though, especially if Britt has reached the point where he stops trying because he truly believes no matter what he does, they won't throw him the ball.
Trade is the best case scenario for everyone involved - Titans for getting rid of him and getting something for him instead of letting him walk, Britt for a change of scenery, and fantasy owners for a chance at value.

At his current rate of on-field production this year, compared to what the Titans bring in next year, it's likely they'd get nothing in the way of compensatory picks. Those are issued based on the value of net postive gain or loss in free agency toward the next season's draft, which would be 2015. Britt's name value or original draft status doesn't matter, only his 2013 production. They need to trade him for whatever they can get and move on.Quez said:

+1 here too. He's killing me in my 32 team salary cap league. I'm paying him as my #1 WR since I bought in to all the preseason hype of him being a dominating #1. Now I'm stuck starting the likes of Dwayne Harris, Alshon Jeffery, and Andre Roberts.unckeyherb said:

As worthless as Leshoure is, I'm not sure the Lions want to mess with their chemistry by bringing in Britt.

Punted for Percy Harvin in a deep bench redraft. If I'm going to take 0 I'd rather it be with a guy that has way more upside when he returns than this waste of space.

The chances he isn't active for ghe Titans ever again are pretty good

"Hello? You're calling about Kenny Britt? Yeah, he's available and we're fielding offers but we're not actively shopping him. Feel free to make an offer though. Any offer we'll consider. No, really, just throw something out there. I mean anything. Seriously, gimme an offer. Not actively shopping him though, remember that."

Horrible play calling or they just flat out didn't plan to run on the Jets. I would guess 95% or more were him just slamming into the line for the sake of saying they ran the ball, don't forget we could if we wanted to. I don't think he ran to the corner or out wide once. The Jets DL was awesome and I think they knew they could destroy em with the pass. Much of the second half, they put Battle in to do this very same thing-the occasional bulldoze attempt.

Traded him and Holmes in my dynasty league for Robert Woods three days ago and people said I lost out on the deal. I may not have gotten anything for either of them after this week. Of course with my luck he'll go to the Lions and be a top 10 WR now. But I am glad to have that headache gone.
he dropped the ball and didn't seem to return til the second half when he dropped two(?) more and finally made a catch.
He has zero trouble getting open- still don't believe the he lost a step arguments.
I don't know what his deal is, but he needs make a video where he catches 100 passes from the jugs machine and send that to the other 31 GMs or no one will trade for him. One hit both hands then his chest and he still didn't grab it. It's disturbing. I almost wish there's like a vision problem where some doc could say he needs glasses and it's all fixed. No one is going to trade for a WR that can't catch.

Even worse is his demeanor AFTER drops. He seems to be laughing after the drop. Yes, I know that certain people have different personalities, but the LAST thing he should be doing in a contract year during a BAD season after drop after drop after drop is laughing.
