Tennessee Titans receiver Kenny Britt participates in bar-room melees unharmed … yet suffers injuries that could sideline him for two months by dropping long touchdown passes.
That’s the state of Britt after he “popped” his hamstring this past Sunday. As one of my key receivers, the hope was that Britt’s continued emergence (five straight games with a touchdown up until last weekend, including a three-score outburst against the Iggles) would allow my team to more easily withstand the trade of Megatron. While signal-caller Kyle Orton and wideout Michael Crabtree have been solid in return, the indefinite absence of Britt is likely to waylay a season that had been looking rather promising.
Of course, the Scooters are no strangers to catastrophic midseason injury. And sitting at 6-1-1 with four weeks left in our fantasy regular season, I guess I can’t complain too much. I’m banking on a loss this week as half my team is on bye, but admittedly had begun to look more long-term with this campaign -- as in a first-round playoff bye and potential matchups thereafter.
Now, the attention turns to the free agency waiver wire, where the receiver pickings are predictably slim. Even if Britt comes back sooner than expected, what can he really be counted on now that Randy Moss has arrived in Tennessee? And as a side note, do the Titans really think it’s a good idea to bring in a diva douche like Moss to team with Britt -- an immature, punkish type -- down the stretch?
But that’s Jeff Fisher’s concern, not mine. So I’m putting on my GM cap and turning over every rock today, in hopes of finding a way to get the Scooters right again after this latest setback.
