The Patriots picked up Britt's team option for the 2018 season Tuesday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Analysis: Among the Patriots receivers targeted at least 30 times in 2017, three of them (Danny Amendola, Dion Lewis and Rex Burkhead) will be unrestricted free agents in the near future, so Britt will have an entire offseason to work his way into the good graces of quarterback Tom Brady and offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels. Britt landed in New England in mid-December after a disappointing nine-game run with the Browns, with whom he repaid a four-year investment with 18 catches on 38 targets. For his…read more

Britt finished the 2017 regular season with 20 catches on 42 targets for 256 yards and two TDs in 12 games, including nine contests with the Browns and three with the Patriots.

Analysis: It's been an interesting journey for Britt, who parlayed a strong season with the Rams in 2016 into a four-year, $32.5 million free-agent contract with the Browns this past offseason. Things never clicked for the 6-foot-3, 223-pound wideout in a Cleveland uniform, and he ended up signing a deal with the Patriots (that runs through next season) after being waived by the Browns in December. Set to earn $1,468,750 in 2018, Britt stands to benefit from a full offseason with the Patriots, though…read more

Britt (coach's decision) is inactive for Saturday's divisional-round game versus the Titans.

Analysis: After joining the Patriots on Dec. 12, Britt played a combined 40 offensive snaps in the final three games of the season. With Chris Hogan healthy again, though, the Patriots don't have a need for the veteran wide receiver in their playoff opener.

Britt did not catch any passes in Sunday's 26-6 win over the Jets.

Analysis: Britt was targeted twice in the contest, but he has yet to get much going in a New England uniform in his short stint with the team. Looking ahead to the postseason, Britt will continue to profile as a depth option behind fellow wideouts Brandin Cooks, Chris Hogan (shoulder) and Danny Amendola.

Britt, who was on the field for two of 60 snaps on offense in Sunday's 27-24 win over the Steelers, caught his only target in the contest for seven yards.

Analysis: Britt, who joined the Patriots just last week, quickly got into the team's wideout mix with Chris Hogan out with a shoulder injury. Once he gets up to speed with the team's playbook, the wideout should see more snaps, but as long as Brandin Cooks, Danny Amendola and Hogan are around, Britt profiles as a depth option for New England.

Britt is listed as active for Sunday's game against the Steelers, WEEI.com reports.

Analysis: Britt gives the Patriots some added wideout depth with Chris Hogan out with a shoulder injury, but we'd like to see the team's recent signee get a full and productive game under his belt before recommending him as a fantasy lineup option.

Britt is part of Sunday's game plan and should be active for the Patriots' 4:25 ET game against the Steelers, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Analysis: The recently signed Britt is thus expected to join the Patriots' pass-catching mix in Week 15, with Chris Hogan (shoulder) looking like a no-go Sunday, per Adam Schefter of ESPN. Britt is still a fantasy dart in his anticipated debut with the Patriots, but should he click with QB Tom Brady, he could factor in down the stretch and into the postseason.

Britt practiced with the Patriots on Wednesday, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.

Analysis: Britt, who signed a two-year contract with the Patriots, adds depth and size (6-foot-3, 223 pounds) to the team's receiving corps, but it's unrealistic to expect an immediate fantasy splash from the 29-year-old. Brandin Cooks, Chris Hogan and Danny Amendola continue to head New England's wideout corps, so Britt's main competition for snaps, once he gets up to speed with the playbook, will be current No. 4 WR Phillip Dorsett.

Britt is finalizing a deal with the Patriots Field Yates of ESPN reports.

Analysis: After Monday night's struggles in the passing game without Rob Gronkowski (suspension), the Patriots will look to Britt to add some much-needed depth to their wide receiving corps. Britt was waived by Cleveland last Friday and went unclaimed on waivers Monday. In nine games with the Browns this season, Britt caught 18 passes for 233 yards and two touchdowns.

Britt wasn't claimed on waivers, Field Yates of ESPN reports.

Analysis: Britt's contract ensured he wouldn't be claimed, but that doesn't mean he won't draw interest if he's willing to settle for a much smaller salary. At the very least, he'll get a shot with a new team in the offseason, after catching just 18 of 37 targets for 233 yards (6.3 per target) and two touchdowns in nine games with the Browns. Britt was actually one of the more efficient receivers in the league in 2016 with the Rams, catching 68 of 111 targets for 1,002 yards (9.0 per target) and five…read more

The Browns plan to waive Britt (ankle) on Friday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Analysis: Signed to a four-year, $32.5 million contract this offseason with the expectation that he would seize the Browns' No. 1 receiver role, Britt was instead a catastrophic disappointment. In addition to missing three games -- including one in October seemingly for disciplinary reasons -- Britt was often missing in action on the field, hauling in just 18 of 38 targets for 233 yards and two touchdowns this season. With the recent returns of Corey Coleman from a hand injury and Josh Gordon from…read more

Britt (knee) was limited at practice Wednesday.

Analysis: Britt had plenty of time earlier this season to carve out a role in the Browns offense and didn't do a ton with the opportunity. Though the knee issue likely won't keep Britt off the field Sunday against the Packers, he won't be in line for many snaps now that Corey Coleman and Josh Gordon are back in the mix following lengthy absences and have reclaimed starting receiver roles for the Browns.

Britt was on the field for just 19 percent of the team's offensive snaps and caught two of three targets for 10 yards during Sunday's 19-10 loss to the Chargers.

Analysis: Of the five wideouts who saw field time Sunday, Britt earned the fewest amount of snaps, as Josh Gordon's return greatly cut into his role. Britt -- who has just 18 catches -- has been a huge disappointment in 2017, and his role doesn't figure to be changing any time soon.

Britt (knee) doesn't carry an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Chargers.

Analysis: Now that both Corey Coleman and Josh Gordon (suspension) are available for the first time all season this week, Britt's fantasy upside, which was limited to begin with, takes another hit. Through eight games, Britt has logged just 16 catches for 223 yards and two scores, numbers that don't align very well with the four-year, $32.5 million contract he signed with the Browns back in March.

Britt (knee) was limited during Thursday's practice.

Analysis: The Browns are likely just being cautious with Britt, and we expect him to head into Sunday's matchup against the Chargers without an injury designation. However, with Josh Gordon back in the starting lineup, Britt's involvement in the offense will be scarce.

Britt (knee) was limited at practice Wednesday, Nate Ulrich of the Akron Beacon Journal reports.

Analysis: With Corey Coleman back in the mix and Josh Gordon (suspension) poised to return to action this weekend, Britt's fantasy appeal is waning, though it was never that high anyway. In the Browns' Week 12 loss to the Bengals, the wideout parlayed 18 snaps into two catches for 52 yards. His limitations at Wednesday's practice were likely maintenance-related, and it wouldn't be surprising if Britt ends up approaching Sunday's game against the Chargers without an injury designation.

Britt hauled in both of his targets for 52 yards during Sunday's 30-16 loss to the Bengals.

Analysis: This was Britt's fourth straight game with two receptions, and while his production has been lackluster this season, it could continue to fall with Josh Gordon expected to return next Sunday against the Chargers. Gordon, Corey Coleman and Ricardo Louis figure to see the most field time going forward, leaving Britt -- who played just 18 snaps Sunday -- on the sidelines.

Britt (knee) doesn't have a designation in advance of Sunday's game at Cincinnati, Nate Ulrich of the Akron Beacon Journal reports.

Analysis: Limited by a knee injury this week, Britt will nonetheless be available Week 12, albeit in a reserve role. Corey Coleman and Ricardo Louis should receive the most attention among Browns wideouts, but a handful of targets could trickle Britt's way throughout the contest.

Britt (knee) was limited at practice Wednesday.

Analysis: With Corey Coleman (hand) back in the starting lineup for the Browns' Week 11 loss to the Jaguars, Britt was out-snapped in the contest by Coleman, Ricardo Louis and Rashard Higgins, while catching both of his targets for just five yards. Britt should be available Sunday against the Bengals, but he's a low-upside fantasy option in Week 12, and his value may only dip in the final quarter of the season in light of fellow wideout Josh Gordon's (suspension) impending return.

Britt will concede his starting role to Corey Coleman (hand) on Sunday against the Jaguars, Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram reports.

Analysis: Britt saw semi-consistent work over the seven weeks Coleman was on the shelf, but he was also limited by knee and groin issues over that time. He didn't carry an injury designation heading into Week 11, but it looks like the 29-year-old Britt won't suddenly see his role expand any time soon. Further complicating the matter is the pending return of Josh Gordon (suspension), who will be allowed to resume practicing next week. Though he did find the end zone in Week 10, Britt was hardly a…read more

Britt (knee) doesn't carry an injury designation heading into Sunday's game against the Jaguars.

Analysis: As has been the case throughout the week, Britt was only a limited participant in Friday's practice, but that won't put him in jeopardy of missing the Week 11 contest. After suiting up but not seeing any snaps in the Browns' Week 8 loss to the Vikings, Britt reentered the game plan following Cleveland's bye to play 55 snaps Week 10 against the Lions, corralling two of three targets for 38 yards and a touchdown. That performance isn't likely to translate to a dramatic spike in Britt's target…read more

Britt (knee) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice.

Analysis: With two limited practices to kick off the week, Britt appears in line to play Sunday against the Jaguars, but he'll be hard pressed to reach the end zone for a second consecutive game. In addition to facing a staunch Jacksonville pass defense, Britt will drop down a spot on the depth chart with fellow wideout Corey Coleman (hand) activated from injured reserve and expected to earn a full workload this week. Furthermore, Sunday's forecast in Cleveland calls for snow, wind and cold temperatures,…read more

Britt (knee) was limited at Wednesday's practice, Nate Ulrich of the Akron Beacon Journal reports.

Analysis: Britt has been on the injury report for much of the season, including last week when he was also limited at Wednesday's practice but returned to full participation by Friday. He caught two of three targets for 38 yards and a score in Sunday's 38-24 loss to the Lions, but the solid showing may have been a case of too little too late, with Corey Coleman (hand) expected back for Sunday's nightmare matchup against the Jacksonville defense.

Britt grabbed two of three targets for 38 yards and a touchdown during Sunday's 38-24 loss to the Lions.

Analysis: After not finding the field in Week 8, Britt bounced back a bit against the Lions when quarterback DeShone Kizer connected with him on a short pass that required a nice juke move from the 29-year-old for Cleveland's first touchdown of the day. He hauled in just one other pass over the remainder of the game, but it was nonetheless one of his more productive outings as a member of the Browns. The nine-year veteran has just 12 catches for 166 yards and two touchdowns this season.

Britt (knee) no longer carries a Week 10 injury designation after practicing fully Friday.

Analysis: Britt was limited Wednesday and Thursday but is now on track to be available Sunday against the Lions. How much of a role he plays this week remains to be seen, with a wait-and see approach in order after the wideout suited up Week 8 but did not actually play any snaps. The 29-year-old has caught just 10 of 27 targets for 128 yards and a TD through five contests. The Browns were no doubt hoping for more when they signed Britt to a four-year, $32.5 million deal back in March.

Britt was limited in Wednesday's practice due to a knee issue.

Analysis: Britt's knee ailment is seemingly a new injury, as the team is returning from its bye week. The fact that Britt practiced in some fashion is a positive sign for his Week 10 status, although his health may not be the determining factor whether he plays or not. The 29-year-old was active in Week 8 versus the Vikings but didn't see the field, with head coach Hue Jackson choosing to bench Britt after continuous disappointing outings. Britt has just 10 receptions for 128 yards on the season, but…read more

Britt was active and fully healthy for Sunday's 33-16 loss to the Vikings, but didn't see the field during the contest, Mary Kay Cabot of Cleveland.com reports.

Analysis: After a two-game absence due to groin and knee injuries, Britt was cleared to play in the Week 7 loss to the Titans, despite having irked head coach Hue Jackson by missing a team curfew in Houston a week earlier. Britt ended up playing 55 snaps in the game against Tennessee, but reeled in just two of five targets for seven yards. Though Britt ostensibly opened the season as the Browns' No. 1 receiver, his poor production to date coupled with the coaching staff's dissatisfaction with his…read more

Britt (knee/groin) does not carry an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Vikings in London, Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram reports.

Analysis: Britt was on the field for 75 percent of the Browns' snaps on offense in Week 7's loss to the Titans, but he managed just two catches for seven yards on five targets in the contest. Though the 29-year-old wideout has the experience and ability to bounce back from his spotty 2017 start, so far the Browns haven't got a whole lot of production from Britt, who the team signed to a four-year, $32.5 million deal in March. He's logged just 10 catches for 128 yards and a TD through five games.

Britt (knee/groin) was limited at Wednesday's practice, Mary Kay Cabot of Cleveland.com reports.

Analysis: Britt played through the same pair of injuries in Sunday's 12-9 overtime loss to the Titans, catching two of five targets for seven yards while logging 75 percent of the Browns' offensive snaps. Though he's caught only 10 of 28 targets for 128 yards, Britt has played at least 59 percent of the available snaps each time he's been active this season. His ability to practice in any capacity Wednesday suggests he's on track for Sunday's game against the Vikings in London.

Britt caught two passes (five targets) for seven yards during Sunday's 12-9 overtime loss to the Titans.

Analysis: Despite missing curfew on the eve of Cleveland's Week 6 matchup with the Texans, Britt still drew the start in Week 7, though it's rather hard to tell from the box score. The 29-year-old has yet to catch more than three passes in a single contest and has just 10 receptions for 128 yards on the year, as he's been in coach Hue Jackson's doghouse almost from the get-go. His dedication has been continuously questioned and his lack of results on the field back that up.

Britt (groin/knee) is active for Sunday's game against the Titans.

Analysis: Britt, who had missed the Browns' previous two games due to injury, was limited in practices throughout the week, but proved healthy enough for the team to sign off on his return to action. However, while he was sidelined with the injuries in the Week 6 loss to the Texans, Britt drew the Browns' ire after missing a curfew with fellow injured wideout Corey Coleman (hand), resulting in the team sending both players home early from Houston, according to Mike Garafolo of NFL Network. Britt, who has…read more

Britt (groin/knee) is expected to play Sunday against the Titans, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Analysis: Britt has missed two consecutive games because of the dual injuries, though a report Mike Garafolo of NFL Network issued Sunday indicated that the wideout was sent home before last week's game against the Texans after missing curfew. He was targeted 18 times combined in the two games before the injury, but it wouldn't be surprised if he were limited Sunday or saw a reduced snap count after the off-field transgression.

Britt (groin/knee) was sent home for missing curfew prior to last week's loss to Houston, Cleveland.com reports. According to Cleveland.com, Britt is in danger of being cut if he "messes up again."

Analysis: Britt had long been known as a head case going back to his days at Rutgers, but his productive recent seasons gave the impression that he had turned a corner with his professionalism. Either that wasn't the case or he's regressed since signing with Cleveland, and he's backed himself into such a corner that his roster spot is tenuous just six weeks into a four-year, $32.5 million deal. The talent is still there, but it's difficult to know what to expect from Britt going forward. He remains…read more

Britt (groin/knee) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Titans, Mary Kay Cabot of Cleveland.com reports.

Analysis: After missing back-to-back games, Britt appears to be inching toward a return to action, but his iffy status as Sunday's 1:00 p.m. EDT kickoff approaches makes him a risky roll in Week 7 lineups. If Britt is out or limited this weekend, look for Ricardo Louis and Kasen Williams to head the Browns' wideout corps, with Rashard Higgins and Bryce Treggs also in the mix. Britt's first four games in a Cleveland uniform have yielded just eight catches for 121 yards and a touchdown, so he'll need to…read more

Britt (groin/knee) was a limited participant in practice Thursday, Nate Ulrich of the Akron Beacon Journal reports.

Analysis: Britt, who has missed the Browns' last two games with the dual injuries, said earlier in the week that he feels healthier, but his back-to-back limited practices don't provide overwhelming evidence that he'll be ready to go for Sunday's game against the Titans. He remained similarly limited throughout practices last week and was labeled a game-time decision, only to be held out of the team's loss to the Texans. During Britt's two-game absence, Kasen Williams (eight catches on 11 targets) and…read more

Britt (groin/knee) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice, Mary Kay Cabot of Cleveland.com reports.

Analysis: Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram reported prior to the practice session that Britt said he was "getting closer" to playing, and the wideout's limited involvement Wednesday would seemingly validate that. Until Britt is able to take part fully in practice, however, it may be difficult to have much optimism about his availability for Sunday's game against the Titans following a two-week absence. If healthy, Britt would likely step in as the top receiving threat for the Browns, but…read more

Britt (knee/groin) is listed as inactive for Sunday's matchup against the Texans.

Analysis: Britt was a limited participant in each practice session this week, and a true game-time call heading into Sunday's matchup. With the veteran on the shelf for the second week in a row, the Browns and new starting quarterback Kevin Hogan will turn to Rashard Higgins, Bryce Treggs and Ricardo Louis as the primary options in the passing game. It was Louis who led the Cleveland wideouts with 58 snaps and eight targets in Week 5, so expect a similar configuration with Britt once again absent from…read more

The status of Britt (groin), who is listed as questionable for Sunday's contest against the Texans, is expected to come down to a game-time decision, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Analysis: Britt was able to practice throughout the week with the groin issue, though he saw only limited involvement in all three of the Browns' sessions. It appears that Britt is over the knee issue that also contributed to him missing the Week 5 loss to the Jets, but if his groin is still bothering him leading up to Sunday's 1:00 p.m. EDT kickoff, the wideout could be looking at another absence.

Britt (groin/knee) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Texans.

Analysis: Per Nate Ulrich of the Akron Beacon Journal, Britt is dealing with a groin injury that forced him to rest late in Thursday's practice. The wideout hopes that the issue will settle down in advance of Sunday's 1:00 ET kickoff, but after being inactive in Week 5 and still not 100 percent, he's a risky roll this weekend, with a new starting QB (Kevin Hogan) adding another variable to the equation.

Britt (groin, knee) was limited at Thursday's practice.

Analysis: Nate Ulrich of the Akron Beacon Journal relays that Britt's groin injury flared up late in Thursday's practice, with the wideout noting afterward, "hopefully this thing calms down so I can go (Sunday)." With that in mind, Britt seems likely to draw a questionable designation for Sunday's game against the Texans.

Groin acts up during practice

Britt (groin, knee) practiced again Thursday, but rested late during the session after his groin injury acted up, Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram reports.

Analysis: Britt sat out the Browns' Week 5 loss to the Jets with the groin and knee complications, but it appears the former issue is the main source of his pain at this juncture. He'll likely go down as a limited participant in practice for the second straight day, and his inability to go through the final few drills Thursday leaves him day-to-day heading into the Week 6 matchup with the Texans. If healthy enough to suit up, Britt would likely represent the top target in the passing game for newly…read more

Britt (knee, groin) was back at practice Wednesday, Nate Ulrich of the Akron Beacon Journal reports.

Analysis: Britt missed practice all last week and was listed as doubtful for Sunday's eventual 17-14 loss to the Jets. His presence at Wednesday's practice suggests he has a shot to return for Week 6 in Houston, potentially rejoining the lineup for the first start of quarterback Kevin Hogan's career. Though he still belongs on waivers in the majority of leagues, Britt might have a bit more luck with Hogan under center if the Browns bring their veteran wideout back into the offense as a starter. It's…read more

Britt (knee/groin) is inactive for Sunday's matchup against the Jets.

Analysis: Britt was unable to log any practice time this week due to his multiple ailments and entered the weekend with a "doubtful" designation. Although the veteran wideout doesn't have more than three catches in a single game this season, he had been leading all Cleveland pass catching options in total snaps (192) through the first four games, so plenty of volume will be left behind by his absence. Look for Rashard Higgins and Ricardo Louis -- who logged nine targets Week 4 against the Bengals -- to…read more

Britt (knee/groin) is listed as doubtful for Sunday's game against the Jets.

Analysis: It's not clear if Britt was able to get in any work at Friday's practice, but his "doubtful" designation suggests he was sidelined for the third day in a row, and also that he will not play in Week 5. With Britt likely out, Rashard Higgins and Ricardo Louis are on track to be the Browns' top receivers this week.

Absent from practice again Thursday

Britt (knee/groin) didn't participate in the Browns' practice Thursday.

Analysis: Rather than taking part in the Browns' on-field session, Britt was only able to get in some cardio work on the sideline with a stationary bike. The pair of injuries coupled with his lack of involvement in practice this week muddles Britt's status heading into the Browns' Week 5 matchup with the Jets, potentially leaving a thin receiving corps in even rougher shape than usual. Rashard Higgins, who was a practice-squad player prior to Week 2, would likely act as Cleveland's top wideout Sunday if…read more

Britt didn't practice Wednesday due to knee and groin injuries, Nate Ulrich of the Akron Beacon Journal reports.

Analysis: Britt, who inked a four-year, $32.5 million contract with the Browns this offseason, has been plagued thus far by drops, leaving him with a modest stat line (eight catches for 121 yards and a touchdown) through four games. Assuming Britt rebounds health wise in time to play Sunday against the Jets, he's a risky fantasy play in Week 5, albeit one with bounce-back potential, considering the strong 2016 season that he parlayed into the aforementioned new deal.

Britt caught three of his eight targets for 52 yards during Sunday's 31-7 loss to the Bengals.

Analysis: After finding the end zone in Week 3 and seemingly turning a corner after a rough start to his Browns' career, Britt was booed loudly by his own fans on Sunday after he dropped a pass in the red zone which was subsequently intercepted by Bengals' safety Clayton Fejedelem. After the game, coach Hue Jackson said he had no choice but to leave Britt in the game, as the team was already without receivers Corey Coleman (hand) and Sammie Coates (hamstring). Through the first four weeks, Britt has been…read more

Britt (knee) no longer appears on the Browns' Week 4 injury report after practicing fully Friday.

Analysis: Britt missed practice Wednesday, was limited Thursday and was a full participant Friday, signalling that he'll be a go Sunday against the Bengals. Through three games, Britt has caught five of his 15 targets for 69 yards and a TD. While his overall numbers aren't eye-popping, Britt was targeted 10 times in Week 3, resulting in three catches for 54 yards and a TD. Britt, Rashard Higgins and Ricardo Louis are once again line to head the Browns wideout corps this weekend, while taking aim at a…read more

Britt (knee) was a limited participant in practice Thursday, Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram reports.

Analysis: It amounts to an upgrade for Britt, who was held out of the Browns' first practice of the week Wednesday and instead put in some cardio work on the stationary bike. The Browns haven't expressed much outward concern that Britt is in serious peril of sitting out Sunday against the Bengals, so the expectation remains that he'll be able to fill his normal duties as the club's lead wideout.

Britt wasn't on the field for Wednesday's practice, but coach Hue Jackson suggested that the wideout would return to practice later in the week, Nate Ulrich of the Akron Beacon Journal reports.

Analysis: Britt worked out on an elliptical machine off to the side during the Browns' first practice of the week, but it appears it was only a maintenance day for the veteran. Given the Browns are already down one of their top receivers in Corey Coleman (hand), who was moved to injured reserve Sept. 19, the team likely just doesn't want to expose Britt to any unnecessary injury risk by having him practice fully three times a week. He looks poised to enter the Week 4 matchup with the Bengals as one of…read more

Britt caught three (10 targets) passes for 54 yards and a touchdown during Sunday's 31-28 loss to the Colts.

Analysis: After a slow start to the season that prompted Britt to be called out by his head coach, the former Rams' wideout finally got involved in the passing game Sunday, as his 10 targets led the Browns. The fact that he was only able bring in three of those targets is a bit worrisome, but that can partly be blamed on rookie quarterback DeShone Kizer, who struggled with accuracy throughout the contest. The highlight of Britt's day came when Kizer found him for a 11-yard score late in the fourth…read more

Britt caught one pass (two targets) for two yards during Sunday's 24-10 loss to the Ravens.

Analysis: Leading up to Sunday's contest, coach Hue Jackson suggested that Britt's starting job may in jeopardy after a subpar performance in Week 1 that included a crucial drop late in the game. Britt did ultimately earn the start against the Ravens, but was on the field for just 59 percent of the team's offensive snaps and was only targeted twice. Rashard Higgins -- who was promoted from the practice squad earlier in the week -- saw 12 more snaps than Britt, which once again calls into question the…read more

Browns coach Hue Jackson said Britt will get his normal allotment of snaps Sunday in Baltimore, ESPN.com's Pat McManamon reports.

Analysis: Britt logged 52 of 66 offensive snaps Week 1 against Pittsburgh, but he only caught one pass for 13 yards on three targets and committed an ugly drop on what should have been at least a 20-yard gain. While the poor outing has left his role in some question, the Browns aren't exactly teeming with superior alternatives. No. 3 receiver Ricardo Louis is a 2016 fourth-round pick who produced only 5.7 yards per target as a rookie, while Kasen Williams, Sammie Coates and Reggie Davis were all picked…read more

Britt hauled in only one of his three targets for 13 yards during Sunday's loss to the Steelers.

Analysis: The Browns signed Britt to a four-year, $32.5 million contract this offseason to attempt to replace Terrelle Pryor, but the former Rams' wideout had a forgettable debut. He dropped a crucial pass in the middle of the field during the fourth quarter of Sunday's game and was pretty much nonexistent throughout the contest, and Mary Kay Cabot of Cleveland.com reports that his starting job may be in jeopardy going forward. Third wideout Ricardo Louis -- who caught two passes despite playing just 16…read more

May face competition

Head coach Hue Jackson hinted that Britt's starting job may not be safe, Nate Ulrich of the Akron Beacon Journal reports. "You're saying that [Britt]'s starting this week," said Jackson. "We don't know that. Let's see."

Analysis: Britt played 52 of 66 offensive snaps Sunday against Pittsburgh, finishing with just one catch for 13 yards on three targets. Meanwhile, No. 3 wideout Ricardo Louis caught two of three targets for 32 yards, though he was limited to just 16 snaps as the Browns primarily used Duke Johnson from the slot in three-wide formations. Britt's contract and experience should give him a bit of a leash, but it isn't out of the question that Louis could push for a starting job if the veteran remains…read more

Britt brought in one of two targets for 13 yards in Saturday's 13-9 preseason win over the Bucs.

Analysis: The veteran wideout notched one catch for the third time in as many preseason contests, hauling in his 13-yard reception on the Browns' opening drive. Britt is expected to see heavy volume in the coming season regardless of who's under center, considering that the departed Terrell Pryor, Sr. was the subject of a whopping 140 targets as a primary receiver in head coach Hue Jackson's scheme.

Britt caught his only target for eight yards during Monday's preseason game against the Giants.

Analysis: Britt was only in for 17 plays and managed just a single catch from Brock Osweiler in the first quarter. Britt is coming off his best season as pro, but with DeShone Kizer recently being named the starting quarterback, it may take awhile for the two to sync up effectively. Still, Britt is a valuable deep threat and Kizer should have no problem slinging him the ball with his strong arm.

Britt caught one pass (three targets) for four yards in Thursday's 20-14 win over the Saints.

Analysis: Britt didn't make much of an impact in his first game in a Browns uniform, but much of that can be blamed on Brock Osweiler, who struggled with accuracy throughout the night. Britt is expected to line up alongside Corey Coleman as the team's deep threat, but without reliable quarterback play, his fantasy production will be inconsistent at best.

Britt (leg) was seen practicing Saturday after leaving Thursday's practice with cramps, Dan Labbe of Cleveland.com reports.

Analysis: Britt rode the bike during Friday's practice but returned to full action Saturday and was able to haul in a few passes. It seems that his cramp issues are behind him, but the Browns may want to continue to monitor him, as he's expected to play a big role in the offense in 2017.

Britt was forced to leave practice prematurely Thursday due to cramping, Mary Kay Cabot of Cleveland.com reports.

Analysis: A few other Browns' players dealt with cramps on Thursday as well, which is anything but surprising on the first day of training camp. Britt might take it easy for the next few days, but unless this becomes a continuous problem, there's no need to worry about his health.

Inactive in Week 17 versus Cardinals

Britt (shoulder) is inactive for Sunday's Week 17 tilt versus the Rams, Myles A. Simmons of the team's official site reports.

Analysis: Britt was doubtful heading into Sunday, so the designation comes as little surprise. The veteran receiver wraps up 2016 with career highs in receptions (68) and yards (1,002). In his stead, Tavon Austin, Brian Quick and Pharoh Cooper would figure to be the top targets for Jared Goff.

Doubtful for Sunday

Britt (shoulder) is listed as doubtful to play Sunday against the Cardinals.

Analysis: Britt didn't practice at all this week, so his 2016 campaign is likely to end with a career-high 68 receptions on 11 targets for 1,002 yards and five touchdowns in 15 appearances. If he's indeed unavailable Sunday, Brian Quick would figure to be promoted to a starting wideout position.

Britt (shoulder) was a non-participant at practice Wednesday, Myles Simmons of the Rams' official site reports.

Analysis: Britt carried a shoulder injury into Saturday's game against the 49ers and lasted just one half before he was ruled out with one catch for 15 yards to his name. The Rams' No. 1 wide receiver is a candidate to take a seat in Week 17, as a loss to the Cardinals would guarantee a top-6 selection in the 2017 draft. His activity level (or lack thereof) in the coming days will shed light on such an eventuality.

Interim head coach John Fassel said Monday that Britt (shoulder) will be day-to-day this week, Myles Simmons of the Rams' official site reports.

Analysis: Britt's prep for Week 16 was hindered by a shoulder injury, but he toughed it out Saturday versus the 49ers before leaving the game by halftime. If he's able to suit up Sunday against the Cardinals, he'll look to expand upon career highs across the board outside of touchdowns, as his five scores are four short of the nine he gathered in as a Titan in 2010.

Britt has been ruled out of Saturday's contest against the 49ers due to a shoulder injury, the Los Angeles Times reports.

Analysis: In the first half, Britt's 15-yard reception helped him reach 1,000 yards for the first time in his eight-year career. However, a shoulder injury will stop him from expanding upon his accomplishment, at least in Week 16. For the rest of the game, Jared Goff will have to rely upon Tavon Austin and Lance Kendricks to fuel the passing attack.

Britt (shoulder) practiced fully Thursday, Myles Simmons of the Rams' official site reports.

Analysis: Because Britt was limited on the Rams' estimated injury report Wednesday, the listing can be taken with a grain of salt after handling every rep at Thursday's session. He's been a model of consistency within an unreliable offense otherwise, racking up at least 50 yards receiving 10 times, reaching the 100-yard threshold twice, and scoring five touchdowns in 14 games this season. He'll look to uphold his end of the bargain Saturday versus a 49ers defense that ranks dead last in touchdowns…read more

Britt was limited in Wednesday's practice due to a shoulder injury.

Analysis: With a modest 50-yard performance last Thursday in Seattle, Britt fell out of the top 10 in terms of receiving yards to 13th overall, from which he boasts 987 yards to date. Because the Rams have been afforded extra time to prepare for Week 16, his status doesn't seem to be in jeopardy for Saturday's divisional matchup against the 49ers. If he indeed suits up, he'll be facing one of the most appealing secondaries for fantasy purposes, as San Francisco has given up the most touchdowns (21, which…read more

Leads team in receiving Thursday

Britt secured four of eight targets for 50 yards in Thursday's 24-3 loss to the Seahawks.

Analysis: Britt was once again the lead dog in the Rams' lackluster passing attack, pacing the team in receptions, yards and targets. He also appeared to have sustained a relatively serious lower body injury after a first-quarter catch, but was able to return shortly thereafter. Britt continues to be a serviceable option in the fantasy postseason, although his potential production always seems to be somewhat in question due to the team's rather dire situation behind center. He'll have a chance to…read more

Britt caught seven of 12 targets for 82 yards in Sunday's loss to the Falcons.

Analysis: Britt was Los Angeles' busiest receiver yet again Sunday as he led the team in receptions, targets, and yards. Despite quarterback Jared Goff's growing pains as a starter, Britt has been able to post respectable numbers in each of his last three games. However, a tough matchup awaits him in Week 15 with the Rams heading up to Seattle to face the Seahawks.

Britt caught two of his six targets for 67 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 26-10 loss to the Patriots.

Analysis: Britt was quiet when it counted but helped owners out with a 66-yard catch and a 1-yard touchdown on Los Angeles' final drive. While it's tougher to trust him with rookie Jared Goff at quarterback than it was during Case Keenum's time as the starter, Britt continues to be the top fantasy commodity on the Rams. Another strong performance seems likely against the porous Falcons secondary next week.

Britt hauled in five receptions on 10 targets for 52 yards and a touchdown during Sunday's loss to the Saints.

Analysis: Britt saw plenty of volume come his way in Week 12 with 10 targets, but it's a bit disappointing quarterback Jared Goff was only able to connect with the receiver on half of those throws. Britt was still able to put up a respectable performance in terms of fantasy scoring, while leading the team in receptions and yardage. He now has at least three catches in all 11 of the Rams' games so far this season, including at least five in each of the team's past three contests. He'll look to keep his…read more

Britt caught five of seven targets for 43 yards in Sunday's 14-10 loss to the Dolphins.

Analysis: While Britt's stats don't look good, keep in mind that rookie QB Jared Goff made his NFL debut, and the game was played in rainy weather. In any case, Britt led the Rams in receptions and yardage, which has become a weekly trend. He's got a great matchup next week against a vulnerable Saints secondary.

Britt caught seven of 10 targets for a game-high 109 yards during Sunday's 9-6 win over the Jets.

Analysis: Britt has now reached 100 yards or scored a touchdown in three of his last four games, as he's developed a solid chemistry with quarterback Case Keenum. There were reports Sunday that Keenum could lose his starting job to Jared Goff, which would obviously have an effect on Britt, but if Keenum is still the man under center in Week 11 against the Dolphins, Britt is likely to be the most-targeted Rams receiver.

Britt caught four of six targets for 49 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 13-10 loss to the Panthers.

Analysis: Britt wasn't doing much for most of the game, but was able to haul in a 10-yard touchdown on fourth down in the final minute of regulation. Since exploding for 136 yards and two touchdowns at Detroit in Week 6, Britt has been relatively quiet over his last two games, catching just seven passes for 92 yards. He's been a bright spot in an otherwise mediocre passing attack though, leading the Rams in with 584 receiving yards this season. Next week, Britt will take on a beatable Jets' secondary.

Britt caught just three of eight targets for 43 yards during Sunday's game against the Giants.

Analysis: After a monster Week 6 (seven receptions for 136 yards and two touchdowns), Britt came crashing down to earth this week. He still paces the team with 535 receiving yards and has garnered the second most targets with 48, though. Unfortunately, the Los Angeles offense is matchup dependent, which makes Britt a risky start unless he is facing a favorable opponent. With a bye week on tap, Britt will look to get back on track in a friendly fantasy setting against the Panthers in Week 9.

Britt caught seven of eight targets for a season-high 136 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 31-28 loss to the Lions.

Analysis: Britt got it done in a variety of roles, scoring touchdowns of 20 and nine yards, and stretching the defense with a 47-yard gain as well. Britt has been one of the more heavily-targeted Rams this season, and this big game suddenly puts him on pace for over 1.300 receiving yards if he can sustain his current level. With his value on the rise, Britt will set his sights on the Giants defensive unit in Week 7 that has been susceptible to strong wideout play this season.

Britt (thigh) grabbed five of six passes for 75 yards in Sunday's 30-19 loss to the Bills.

Analysis: Britt was a little banged up heading into the game, but led the Rams in receiving yardage. He's actually been consistent this year in terms of yardage, with 65+ yards in four of five games, though he's still looking for his first touchdown of the year. He might have a good shot at scoring next week against Detroit, which has been poor against the pass in 2016.

Britt (thigh) is active for Sunday's Week 5 tilt versus the Bills.

Analysis: The 28-year-old was a full participant in Friday's practice, which bode well for his chances of suiting up Sunday. That has now become a reality, with Britt set to once again spearhead a Rams receiving corps in which he ranks second in targets (26).

Britt (thigh) returned to practice Friday as a full participant, and he is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Bills, Jack Wang of the LA Daily News reports.

Analysis: Despite the pair of missed practices and questionable designation, Britt's ability to log a full practice Friday suggests he should be able to play. If not, Brian Quick would likely take on an expanded workload as a starter, with some combination of Mike Thomas, Bradley Marquez, Pharoh Cooper and Nelson Spruce then serving as the Nos. 3-5 wide receivers. But as previously mentioned, Britt should be fine to handle his usual workload as a starter.

Britt (thigh) didn't partake in Wednesday's practice, Rich Hammond of the Orange County Register reports.

Analysis: Britt has been Mr. Consistency this season, racking up exactly four catches on three occasions and six receptions in the other contest. While his output has ranged from 38 to 94 yards, he has yet to reach the end zone as the Rams' second-most targeted receiver with 26 looks. His stat lines aside, Britt didn't make an appearance on last week's injury report until Friday, logging a limited practice, so a no-show this Wednesday is a bit worrisome. Expect the wideout's status to receive some…read more

Britt had 82 yards on four catches in the Rams' 17-13 win over the Cardinals on Sunday.

Analysis: Despite being questionable with a thigh injury in the leadup to Sunday's game, Britt led the Rams in receiving yards. He's yet to record a touchdown on the season but he's consistently put up yards. With the passing game steadily improving he could see his touchdown drought turn around soon. He and the Rams face a quality Bills secondary in Week 5, but the return to Los Angeles might bode well for the team.

Britt (thigh) is listed as active Sunday in Arizona, Myles Simmons of the Rams' official site reports.

Analysis: Picking up a thigh injury following the final practice of the week, Britt was considered questionable for this tilt but will tough out the injury. As the No. 1 wideout on the Rams' depth chart, he may draw Patrick Peterson, which would make Britt a persona non grata in Week 4.

Britt (thigh) was added to Friday's injury report as a limited participant and is listed as questionable for Sunday's game in Arizona.

Analysis: While mid-week additions are often worrisome, it's encouraging that Britt didn't miss practice entirely. If he ends up sitting out, Brian Quick and Pharoh Cooper would be the leading candidates to take on extra snaps. Should Britt end up playing, he'll likely see a lot of Cardinals CB Patrick Peterson.

Britt grabbed four of six passes for 38 yards in Sunday's 37-32 win at Tampa Bay. He also lost a fumble at one point.

Analysis: Britt had easily been the team's most impressive offensive performer through the first two games, but that changed Sunday as Todd Gurley scored twice and other wideouts stepped up. While Case Keenum has struggled to move the ball and produce points, he's still leaned heavily on his big wideout, as Britt has seen 21 targets through three games. It's hard to imagine much success next week, however, as Britt will likely have to deal with CB Patrick Peterson at University of Phoenix Stadium.

Britt caught six passes for 94 yards in Sunday's win over the Seahawks.

Analysis: Britt was a bright spot in what was, overall, a miserable offensive performance all-around. The Rams still haven't scored a touchdown this season, and while Britt's performance was encouraging, the Rams will need more out of their passing game if they want to be contenders in the NFC West. The veteran will look to continue his strong performance in Week 3 against a Buccaneers team that got torched by Carson Palmer and the Cardinals on Sunday.

Britt caught four passes (on six targets) for a team-high 67 yards in Monday night's loss to the 49ers.

Analysis: Britt nearly tripled the receiving yardage of his next-closest teammate Monday, evidencing just how ineffective the Rams' passing game was as a whole. His 22-yard catch marked Los Angeles' longest play of the night and his six targets trailed only Tavon Austin for the team lead. Given quarterback Case Keenum's limitations, Britt's upside is pretty restricted, but he at least figures to benefit from his standing as the team's top wideout.

Britt caught two passes (on four targets) for 20 yards in Saturday's preseason game against the Broncos.

Analysis: Britt's production almost entirely came from his 19-yard catch early in Saturday's game, but all four of his targets came over Los Angeles' first two offensive drives, showing his significant standing within the Rams' first-team offense, even if their run-heavy approach and transitional quarterback situation makes matters less than ideal.

Britt caught his lone target for an eight-yard gain in Saturday's preseason game against the Cowboys.

Analysis: Britt's catch came on the Rams' second drive, with starting quarterback Case Keenum on the passing end. Keenum has the early advantage over Jared Goff, but either way, the Rams will build their offense around Todd Gurley. While there's been no indication Britt's starting job is in danger, he only had 72 targets in 16 games last season, despite making 13 starts and playing 68 percent of the team's offensive snaps. Britt did have some success while working with Keenum, recording 38 percent of his…read more

Britt caught three passes for 81 yards in a 19-16 overtime loss to San Francisco on Sunday.

Analysis: Britt seemed to find some chemistry with Case Keenum near the end of the year, averaging more than 20 yards a catch over his last five games with a pair of touchdowns. It's doubtful Keenum will be the quarterback to begin 2016, so some of Britt's value will hinge on that decision in St. Louis, although he did a decent job with what he had this season.

Britt caught three of four targets for 49 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 23-17 upset win against the Seahawks.

Analysis: Britt made the most of his limited opportunities, surprisingly smoking CB Richard Sherman on a 28-yard touchdown in the second quarter. He easily led the Rams in receiving Sunday, helping them win at Seattle for the first time in 10 years. He'll try to score in a third straight game next week at San Francisco.

Britt (shoulder) caught both of his targets for 71 yards and a touchdown in Thursday's 31-23 win over the Buccaneers.

Analysis: Britt burnt undrafted rookie Jude Adjei-Barimah on a double move in the first quarter, breaking free for a fairly easy 60-yard touchdown. Despite his excellent start, Britt only received one more target the rest of the night, as Case Keenum attempted just 17 passes. Britt thus fell shy of 100 yards for a 13th time in 14 games this season, and the touchdown was just his second of the year. With a Week 16 road matchup against the Seahawks coming up next, Britt will likely fall back to his usual…read more

Britt (shoulder) is active for Thursday's game against the Buccaneers, Myles Simmons of the Rams' official website reports.

Analysis: Britt was limited at practice during the short week, but there was never any real concern regarding his Thursday availability. Even in a favorable matchup, Britt will likely need a long gain and/or a touchdown in order to have a decent night, as he's averaging just 4.7 targets per contest this season. Case Keenum threw for 136 and 124 yards in his first two starts of the year.

Britt (shoulder) is listed as probable for Thursday's game versus the Buccaneers, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.

Analysis: Kicking off the week with a cap in practice reps, Britt allayed any fears that he wouldn't suit up Thursday with a full session Wednesday. With his Week 15 availability all but confirmed, he'll look to exploit a Tampa Bay defense that has given up 12.4 YPC and six touchdowns to wide receivers over the last four contests.

Britt was listed as a limited participant at Monday's practice due to a shoulder injury.

Analysis: Britt's ability to practice in any capacity bodes well for his potential availability for Thursday's favorable matchup with the Buccaneers. The real issue is his middling volume in an inefficient passing offense, as he still hasn't scored a touchdown or topped 100 yards since the third week of the season.

Britt caught a 25-yard pass and added another 10-yarder in Sunday's 21-14 victory against Detroit.

Analysis: Britt is one of the leading receivers on the Rams, yet only has 28 catches for 480 yards and a touchdown on the season. He's put together a little more consistency over the last couple weeks, but has still topped two catches just three times this year.

Britt caught two of six targets for 41 yards in Sunday's game against the Cardinals.

Analysis: The veteran led the Rams in receiving yards and finished second in targets on Sunday, but his totals were still rather pedestrian. Britt continues to be one of the more frequently-targeted wideouts on the team, but he has topped 44 receiving yards just three times all season. Britt's production pattern makes him an unattractive option in nearly every format, and this will remain the case next week versus the Lions.

Britt caught six passes off of 11 targets for 63 yards in Sunday's loss to the Bengals.

Analysis: Britt's six receptions were his most since Week 3 and his 11 targets marked a season high. Despite leading the Rams in receiving yards, Britt has averaged just over two catches per game this season and hasn't scored since Week 2. Given the fact that the Rams rank at the bottom of the league in passing yards and touchdowns, Britt shouldn't be expected to all of a sudden become a fantasy-worthy producer.

Britt caught two of his five targets for 24 yards in Sunday's 16-13 loss to Baltimore.

Analysis: Britt didn't seem to have any more chemistry with Case Keenum (concussion) than he did with Nick Foles, and it resulted in another mediocre day for Britt. On the season, Britt has had two great games, combining for 10 catches and 189 yards, but hasn't equaled either total in the other eight games combined.

Britt tallied six yards on a single reception in Sunday's 37-13 defeat at the hands of Chicago.

Analysis: Britt was targeted three times, tied for fifth-most on the team. Nobody outside of Todd Gurley is a reliable option in the St. Louis offense, so leave Britt on the bench if he's even on the roster.

Britt caught three of his five targets for 87 yards in Sunday's loss to the Vikings.

Analysis: A week after being shut out in the target department, the veteran led all Rams receivers in yardage on Sunday, illustrating his inconsistent role in the offense. He has the potential to produce when given the chance, but he simply isn't used consistently enough to warrant weekly consideration. The Rams will square off with the Bears in Week 10.
