Free-agent wide receiver Kenny Britt will work out for the New England Patriots on Monday, according to a source. If Britt proves that his hamstring is healthy, the team could re-sign him. The Patriots just can't seem to find someone they like for depth purposes with Julian Edelman suspended until Week 5. Britt is a veteran but just hasn't been able to stay healthy this year and would be unlikely to carve out a fantasy role if he rejoins the Pats.
New England Patriots wide receiver Kenny Britt has been released, per NFL.com. Britt has been battling a hamstring injury for the past week and the team appears to be not willing to wait for the veteran to heal up. Veteran receivers like Eric Decker and Phillip Dorsett are already trying to make the team and cutting Britt gives them an opportunity to get a longer look. Britt could certainly resurface with a new team down the road once he is healthy but that may not happen until the season is in full swing. Britt last season caught only 20 passes for 256 yards and two touchdowns while playing for both the Patriots and Cleveland Browns.
New England Patriots wide receiver Kenny Britt (hamstring) is still recovering from a hamstring injury he suffered on June 5 and hasn't taken any repetitions in one-on-one or team drills. The 29-year-old has a huge opportunity with Julian Edelman suspended for the first four games, but he hasn't done anything with it so far in training camp. Britt is a veteran and a big body in the red zone, but fantasy owners can ignore him until he gets back on the field and shows that he can produce in this offense.
New England Patriots wide receiver Kenny Britt (hamstring) is projected to miss the final cut by The Boston Globe's Ben Volin. Britt hasn't practiced yet and his short Patriots tenure could end soon if he can't get healthy. Chris Hogan, Phillip Dorsett, Eric Decker and Cordarrelle Patterson are all currently ahead of Britt, not to mention the suspended Julian Edelman. Britt could still make the roster if he gets healthy before the end of the preseason, but he's well off the fantasy radar right now.
New England Patriots wide receiver Kenny Britt (hamstring) was activated off the Physically Unable to Perform list and returned to practice on Friday. Britt was a massive free-agent bust for the Browns last year and had only two catches for 23 yards on five targets in three games with New England at the end of last year. He'll now be competing with Phillip Dorsett, Eric Decker and Cordarrelle Patterson for an increased role to begin the season with Julian Edelman suspended. He might be worth a late-round flier in deeper leagues if he opens the season in a significant role.
The New England Patriots have put wide receiver Kenny Britt (hamstring) on the Physically Unable to Perform list to start training camp. Britt dealt with a minor hamstring injury during the offseason program but is expected to be fine for the start of the regular season. Britt was a bust in Cleveland before landing in New England for three games last year. He has a chance to carve out a decent role with Julian Edelman suspended four games to start the season. Still, Britt probably isn't worth anything more than a late-round flier in deeper leagues.
New England Patriots wide receivers Malcolm Mitchell and Kenny Britt are on the roster bubble heading into training camp, with Phillip Dorsett, Riley McCarron and Braxton Berrios also in danger of being cut. That's even with Julian Edelman suspended for the first four games. Mitchell, a former fourth-round pick, missed all of last year with a knee injury and must prove he's healthy in order to get a shot. Britt played in 12 games with the Browns and Pats last year and caught just 20 passes for two touchdowns. Mitchell is a better bet to make a fantasy impact in 2018.
The New England Patriots picked up wide receiver Kenny Britt's 2018 option, according to a source. The veteran Britt turned out to be a monumental free-agent bust for the Browns last year, as he caught only 18 passes for 233 yards and two touchdowns in nine games for them before they cut him lose. He caught just two passes in three games for the Patriots down the stretch and was a healthy scratch in the Super Bowl. It's highly unlikely that Britt comes into any fantasy relevance in 2018.
Kenny Britt Could See More Playing Time In Week 17
New England Patriots wide receiver Kenny Britt caught one pass for 16 yards last week in the Patriots win over Buffalo. Britt was signed three weeks ago but is already on the field taking snaps. He could see an increase in playing time in Week 17 against a Jets secondary that has allowed the 12th most fantasy points to receivers this season. The Patriots are playing for home-field advantage but they also want to keep their best players healthy for the playoffs. This could mean an increase in opportunities for a new player like Britt to make some plays. Britt for the season has only 18 catches for 233 yards but is a veteran receiver who can help New England if he is fully up to speed. Britt should not be in fantasy lineups, but it would not surprise if he had an active Week 17.
New England Patriots wide receiver Kenny Britt will be active for New England against the Steelers this weekend. According to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport, Britt will be an active part of the Patriots' passing attack without wide receiver Chris Hogan (shoulder). While it is tempting to grab one of Tom Brady's targets, Britt is little more than a lottery ticket against the Steelers.
