AFC South
The Texans and Colts enter the 2011 season with very little changes to their roster that will affect your fantasy football choices on draft day. Here is a look at the Jags and Titans and the moves they made.

| Mike Thomas |
Jacksonville Jaguars-The Jags saw Mike Sims-Walker leave this off season and now the door is open for another receiver to step and claim a prominent role. Mike Thomas seems like the best candidate to put have a solid fantasy season. If you take the approach that
someone has to catch the ball for the Jags then you will want to roll the dice on Thomas and snag him as a WR4 option for your team.
Jason Hill should get the starting nod opposite Thomas but is a long shot to put up quality numbers. Hill's four year cumulative numbers only add up to that of a bottom tier fantasy reserve. I only mention him here as a guy to have on your radar should he demonstrate the ability to perform in his new starting role.

| Kenny Britt |
Tennessee Titans-The Titans parted ways with Vince Young and look to start a rebuilding process lead by their first round draft pick Jake Locker. Ideally, Locker will be allowed to sit and learn this season and the Titans signed QB Matt Hasselbeck in hopes of having him mentor Locker. Hasselbeck will not register on fantasy rosters this season, but his presence helps stabilize the offense and will boost the value of Kenny Britt. Britt appears to have avoided a suspension for his off season troubles and if he can keep his nose clean throughout the season he should be a dependable WR2 in most formats. Britt is a big play receiver and has slightly lower value in PPR leagues, but he should turn in 65/1,100/11 numbers this season.
Keep an eye Chris Johnson's holdout and be prepared to give some consideration to Javon Ringer or Jamie Harper should this contract mess drag on. Both have shown flashes and could have fantasy value if they are able to steal a few starts away.
