Although the Tennessee Titans have not made the news official, the latest word out of Tennessee is that Monday's MRI did in fact confirm that wide receiver Kenny Britt tore his ACL. Such an injury ends his season and will likely land him on injured reserve within the next day or two. This confirms the news that was coming out as early as Sunday afternoon.
Kenny Britt Injury Update: Time To Look For Other Fantasy Options
Britt was on the verge of a monster breakout season before the injury and his loss hurts the Titans and fantasy football owners. The Titans will likely add a wide receiver in free agency and hope that Nate Washington can step up his play in the coming weeks. Beyond that, they'll be hoping Lavelle Hawkins, Damian Williams, Marc Mariani, and others can fill some of the void.
For fantasy football owners, the time has come to use Britt as waiver wire fodder if you're in a single season league. Depending on how you drafted, you might need to roll the dice on some of the young players that had big week threes. Victor Cruz and Torrey Smith both blew up after being quiet the first two weeks. Normally you might be inclined to look for a more steady veteran, but all things considered, why not see if Cruz or Smith will hook you up?
If you are in a keeper or dynasty league, you might have some other considerations before waiving Britt. Dynasty leagues where you keep your entire roster likely have an injured reserve spot you can use. In more modest keeper leagues you likely will have better use waiving him, but it depends on your league-specific rules.
