Kenny Britt Injury: 5 Fantasy Replacements for Injured Titans Star
Tennessee Titans wide receiver Kenny Britt was carted off the field after making a catch, then going down with a right knee injury this afternoon after being tackled by Denver Broncos rookie linebacker Von Miller, according to ESPN.
His return to Sunday's game is questionable.
This is devastating for fantasy football owners who were quite pleased with Britt's 14 catches for 271 yards and three touchdowns through two weeks of the 2011 NFL season, including two 100-yard games.
Britt was playing as a top receiver this season, so replacing him will be hard.
Let's take a look at five wide receivers you should be able to find on the waiver wire who can replace Britt.

Victor Cruz, New York Giants
1 of 5New York Giants wide receiver Victor Cruz got off to a great start Sunday against the Philadelphia Eagles by catching a 74-yard touchdown pass from quarterback Eli Manning.
Cruz made his 2011 debut last Monday night against the St. Louis Rams and had two catches for 17 yards.
With Mario Manningham recovering from a concussion and the Giants already thin at wide receiver since Steve Smith departed over the summer to join the Eagles, Cruz should see an increased role in the Giants passing attack for weeks to come.
Cruz should be available in most leagues.
Preston Parker, Tampa Bay Buccaneers
2 of 5Preston Parker caught four passes for 44 yards in Week 1 against the Detroit Lions, then followed that performance with a six-catch effort for 98 yards in a win against the Minnesota Vikings.
Parker is becoming a real threat in the Buccaneers passing game and is still relatively unknown. He should be available in most fantasy leagues.
Tampa Bay also doesn't play any dominating pass defenses in the NFC South, which will benefit Parker.
Jabar Gaffney, Washington Redskins
3 of 5Veteran wide receiver Jabar Gaffney has helped improve the Washington Redskins this season, who are off to a 2-0 start.
Gaffney has eight catches for 116 yards and a touchdown through two games, and is being targeted often by Redskins quarterback Rex Grossman.
Gaffney is a sleeper pickup who will pay good dividends for your team and will be solid in PPR (points-per-reception) leagues.
Brian Hartline, Miami Dolphins
4 of 5The Miami Dolphins and quarterback Chad Henne are throwing the ball a lot this season due to a lack of a good running game, and wide receiver Brian Hartline will benefit from this situation.
Hartline is a reliable receiver with good speed and hands, and will be a factor in the Dolphins passing attack all season.
He has caught six passes for 83 yards and a touchdown this season, and will be more productive as the season moves along.
Hartline will also be able to run more open routes with wide receiver teammate Brandon Marshall commanding double-teams on nearly every play.
Michael Crabtree, San Francisco 49ers
5 of 5Michael Crabtree may be on your league's waiver wire due to his injury problems this season that have forced him to miss the first two weeks.
However, Crabtree was probable for Sunday's Week 3 matchup for 49ers against the Cincinnati Bengals, and midway through the third quarter had three catches for 24 yards.
Crabtree has a ton of talent, and when healthy, he has the ability to be a very productive receiver for your team.
