Opportunity for Britt in St. Louis

It's offseason training time, when every player is ahead of schedule on rehab and looks great running routes, so reports need to be taken with a grain of salt. Still, it's hard not to be at least a little intrigued by positive reports about Kenny Britt.

The former Titan and current Ram looked like a star a few years back, before injuries derailed his career. But he's healthy now, and making a favorable early impression with the Rams.

Who's the Rams' No. 1 wideout? Tavon Austin, Chris Givens, Brian Quick, Stedman Bailey and Austin Pettis are the other candidates, and some of those guys have already had a lengthy chance in St. Louis. Britt, if healthy, could easily move to the top of that depth chart this season.

Oh yeah: he's 25 years old.

Those who have been burned by Britt in the past have reason to be skeptical, but there are worse wide receivers to throw a late-round pick at this summer. If you're in a dynasty league with an open waiver wire, make sure he's on a roster.
