Fantasy Upside
Kenny Britt finished the season with 681 yards and three touchdowns after catching 36 passes for the Rams in 2015. The only additions the team made to its receiving corps this offseason were receiver Pharoh Cooper and tight end Tyler Higbee in the fourth-round. So if you're looking for upside with Britt, start with the fact that the Rams didn't acquire his replacement in the offseason. Britt no longer will have to compete for targets with Jared Cook, who was released and subsequently signed with the Packers in the offseason. Britt did flash some big-play ability down the stretch last season and perhaps he'll develop a good relationship with No. 1 overall pick Jared Goff, who is expected to start under center.
Fantasy Downside
Even though Britt only caught 48 passes for 748 yards and three touchdowns in 2014, his numbers actually dropped to 36-681-3 in 2015. He also saw 12 fewer targets last season and his role doesn't figure to change much this year. L.A.'s offense will once again revolve around running back Todd Gurley and finding creative ways to get Tavon Austin the ball. Britt will start, but that doesn't mean much in one of the most one-dimensional offenses in the NFL.
2016 Bottom Line
Britt hasn't been fantasy relevant since 2010 when he finished as fantasy's WR22. Even though he's been the Rams' de facto No. 1 receiver the last two years, that hasn't equated to much production. He's currently not being drafted in 12-team leagues and ranks as our WR58. It's unlikely he'll even turn into a decent streaming option this season, so avoid him on draft night.
