The Facts: Following up on the ongoing story. ... The St. Louis Rams took turns showering praise on Britt during offseason practices. It should come as no surprise, then, that former Rams linebacker Will Witherspoon believes Britt will finally produce his long-awaited breakout season in 2014. "I think the addition of Kenny Britt will be a huge boost for the Rams offense," Witherspoon told SiriusXM NFL Radio on Thursday. "I expect him to blossom into a star."

Diehards Line: Witherspoon no longer plays for the Rams. He didn't witness Britt's offseason work. It's worth noting, though, that Witherspoon played with Britt in Tennessee and presumably holds close ties to coach Jeff Fisher after following him from Nashville to St. Louis. ... Still, we remain skeptical. Early in Britt's career, he showed glimpses of All-Pro potential. Since undergoing multiple knee operations, though, his ability to separate from defenders has diminished (we said kindly). That doesn't mean fantasy football owners shouldn't watch for signs of resurgence in St. Louis; it just means they shouldn't bank on it.
