  • Rookie season fizzles out

    Woods had one reception for nine yards on four targets in Sunday's loss to Houston.

    Analysis: After Woods started at tight end in Weeks 16 and 17 with Kylen Granson (ankle) out, Mo Alie-Cox got the nod in Week 18, but Woods still had more targets and ran more routes (23 to 17). The rookie showed promise with 25 receptions on 40 targets for 312 yards and three touchdowns on the season, and after posting eight receptions for 98 yards in Week 12, it looked like he might even take over the top spot at tight end. However, he had just 10 receptions for 135 yards over the final five games. His…read more

  • Likely to serve as top TE again

    Woods is expected to draw a third consecutive start Sunday against the Texans with Kylen Granson (ankle) ruled out for the season finale.

    Analysis: Woods technically started in Week 16 and Week 17 losses to the Chargers and Giants, respectively, but he narrowly outpaced fellow tight end Mo Alie-Cox in playing time. Woods logged snap shares of 64 and 61 percent in those two contests, while Alie-Cox registered 44 and 54 percent shares. However, Woods was the more productive receiver of the two; he recorded six catches for 62 yards on nine targets during that span, while Alie-Cox was targeted just three times.

  • Just three receptions

    Woods had three receptions for 19 yards on four targets in Sunday's loss at the Giants.

    Analysis: Mo Alie-Cox got the start at tight end, but Woods played more snaps (35-31) and went out on more routes (15-10). Woods has become the leading pass target among Colts tight ends with Kylen Granson (ankle) sidelined. However, Indy's anemic pass offense won't result in many targets even with a good matchup in the season finale against Houston.

  • Shows big-play potential

    Woods recorded three receptions on five targets for 43 yards in Monday's 20-3 loss to the Chargers.

    Analysis: Woods saw increased opportunity with Kylen Granson (ankle) sidelined. While the Colts' offense was stalled for much of the game, Woods delivered catches of 17 and 15 yards early in the first quarter to account for the majority of his production and some of the team's better plays. He's been buried on the depth chart for long stretches of his rookie season, though Woods has multiple receptions in three of his last four contests.

  • One catch in Week 15 loss

    Woods caught his only target for 36 yards in Saturday's 39-36 overtime loss to the Vikings.

    Analysis: Woods actually finished second on the team in receiving yards, trailing only Michael Pittman, who needed 14 targets to accrue 60 yards. The rookie tight end has flashed some promise, but Woods' short-term value is capped as he shares playing time with Kylen Granson in a low-octane Colts passing attack helmed by a washed-up Matt Ryan.

  • Limited role after big game

    Woods had two receptions for 28 yards on four targets in Sunday's loss at Dallas.

    Analysis: A week after posting eight catches for 98 yards on nine targets, Woods was an afterthought in the offense until late in the fourth quarter. Kylen Granson returned from an illness and started at tight end, and Granson played the most snaps on offense (41) of the Colts' tight ends ahead of Mo Alie-Cox's 31 and Woods' 15, though Woods ran the second-most routes. Perhaps Woods will have a bigger role after the team's Week 14 bye, but Indianapolis has split targets three ways all season between the…read more

  • Listed as active Sunday night

    Woods (shoulder/quad) is listed as active for Sunday night's game against the Cowboys.

    Analysis: Woods, who missed practice Wednesday and Thursday, logged a full session Friday before being deemed questionable for the contest. The 2022 third-rounder, who is coming off a breakout effort in Week 12 in which he caught eight of his nine targets for 98 yards in a 24-17 loss to the Steelers, will give it a go versus Dallas, but the return to action of fellow tight end Kylen Granson (who was inactive versus Pittsburgh due to an illness) means that Woods will have to share snaps with both Granson…read more

  • Questionable for Week 13

    Woods (shoulder/quad) will be listed as questionable for Sunday night's game against the Cowboys.

    Analysis: Woods, who missed practice Wednesday and Thursday, was back on the field Friday, per Zak Keefer of The Athletic, but the tight end's status is unclear as Sunday night's 8:20 p.m. ET kickoff approaches. Woods is coming off a Week 12 effort in which he caught eight of his nine targets for 98 yards in Monday's 24-17 loss to the Steelers, but that season-high output coincided with fellow tight end Kylen Granson, who has practiced fully this week, being sidelined by an illness. Given Granson's…read more

  • In line to practice Friday

    Woods (shoulder/quad) is slated to practice Friday, Zak Keefer of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Woods didn't practice Wednesday or Thursday, but his looming practice participation Friday suggests that the tight end could play Sunday night against the Cowboys. With Kylen Granson inactive in Week 12 due to an illness, Woods logged 41 snaps against the Steelers, while catching eight passes on nine targets for a team-high 98 yards.

  • Still not practicing

    Woods (shoulder/quad) wasn't spotted at practice Thursday, James Boyd of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Woods logged a DNP in Wednesday's walkthrough, so the tight end's absence from Thursday's session clouds his availability for Sunday night's game against the Cowboys. On the plus side from the Colts' perspective is that Kylen Granson, who was inactive Week 12 due to an illness, was listed as a full practice participant Wednesday.

  • Not practicing after big game

    Woods is listed as a non-participant on Wednesday's practice report due to shoulder and quadriceps injuries.

    Analysis: The report is an estimation, as the Colts merely held a walk-through session two days after losing to the Steelers on Monday. Woods was the star of the night for Indianapolis with eight catches for 98 yards on nine targets, though he apparently added a quad injury to the shoulder issue that caused him to miss the previous game. His big outing Monday came with fellow tight end Kylen Granson sidelined by an illness, and it's possible Woods sees his role diminished now that he's the least healthy…read more

  • Breaks out in prime time

    Woods caught eight of nine targets for 98 yards in Monday's 24-17 loss to the Steelers.

    Analysis: Woods came in with just seven catches for 79 yards in his career, but he surpassed both totals in this game alone. The rookie tight end used his 6-foot-7, 265-pound frame to carve out space en route to team-high totals in catches and receiving yards. He also drew a pass interference penalty in the end zone in the third quarter. Woods will look to build on this breakout performance in Week 13 against the Cowboys.

  • Listed as full practice participant

    Woods (shoulder) was listed as a full participant in Thursday's walkthrough.

    Analysis: Woods, who last saw game action Week 9, is trending toward a return to action Monday night against the Steelers, but as long as both Kylen Granson (illness) and Mo Alie-Cox are available, the 2022 third-rounder is a speculative fantasy lineup option. In nine games thus far this season, Woods has compiled a 7-79-3 receiving line.

  • Ruled out for Week 11

    Woods (shoulder) won't play in Sunday's game against the Eagles, Kevin Bowen of 107.5 The Fan Indianapolis reports.

    Analysis: Woods usually is part of a three-man rotation at tight end with Kylen Granson and Mo Alie-Cox, so the rookie's absence could free up a few additional opportunities for his teammates. Woods will look to heal up in time to face the Steelers on Monday Night Football in Week 12.

  • Sits out Thursday's practice

    Woods (shoulder) didn't participate in Thursday's practice.

    Analysis: Considering Woods opened Week 11 prep Wednesday as a limited participant Wednesday, his lack of activity Thursday represents a step backward. It's unclear if Woods was held out due to a setback or his absence was part of a pre-planned maintenance plan as he attempts to return from the shoulder injury that sidelined him for the Colts' Week 10 win over the Raiders. The extent of his participation at Friday's practice will ultimately determine Woods' odds of suiting up this Sunday against the…read more

  • Returns to practice

    Woods (shoulder) was a limited participant in practice Wednesday.

    Analysis: Woods is back at practice after missing last week's win over the Raiders. His absence freed up a bit more playing time for Kylen Granson and Mo Alie-Cox, with the former taking advantage by catching each of his four targets for 57 yards. None of the three tight ends is likely to see more than three or four targets in any given game, even if one of the group is unavailable. It's unclear at this point if Woods will be ready for Sunday's matchup with Philadelphia.

  • Won't play at Las Vegas

    Woods (shoulder) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Raiders, Kevin Bowen of 107.5 The Fan Indianapolis reports.

    Analysis: Woods was held out of practice this week with a shoulder injury he sustained in Week 9 at New England, and he'll now be forced to miss his first game of the season as he recovers. In the rookie's absence, Kylen Granson should see an uptick in targets in Week 10.

  • Not at practice Wednesday

    Woods (shoulder) did not participate at practice Wednesday ahead of Sunday's game at Las Vegas, James Boyd of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Woods was forced out of Indianapolis' loss at New England in Week 9 with a shoulder injury, and it now appears he's in jeopardy of missing his first game of the season with that injury. If the rookie were to miss time, sophomore fourth-rounder Kylen Granson would probably be in line for increased reps.

  • Exits with injury

    Woods (shoulder) is doubtful to return to Sunday's game against the Patriots, reports James Boyd of The Athletic.

    Analysis: Woods caught one two-yard pass before injuring his shoulder in the second half, though details surrounding the injury are unclear. The rookie tight end's return is unlikely, with the Colts already down 26-3 late in the fourth quarter.

  • No targets Sunday

    Woods did not have a catch or target in Sunday's loss to Washington.

    Analysis: While Alie-Cox got the start at tight end, Kylen Granson had the most snaps on offense (32, compared to 29 for Alie-Cox and 15 for Woods), and all three went out on about the same number of routes (12, compared 13 for Alie-Cox and 10 for Woods). There were not any major changes in tight end usage, despite the change to Sam Ehlinger at quarterback. Woods remains third in the pecking order for playing time and has fantasy value only for the rare end-zone target.

  • Just one reception Sunday

    Woods had one reception for four yards on two targets in Sunday's loss at Tennessee.

    Analysis: Woods had about equal opportunity to the other two tight ends (14 routes, compared to 15 for Mo Alie-Cox and 18 for Kylen Granson), but the trio did not do much. None of the three tight ends were a factor Sunday with a combined two receptions and three targets, though perhaps they could get more involved with Sam Ehlinger taking over as the starting quarterback.

  • Claims third touchdown

    Woods had two receptions for 27 yards, including a 10-yard touchdown, on three targets in Sunday's win over Jacksonville.

    Analysis: Woods had season highs in targets and snap share (38 percent) on offense while catching his third touchdown of the season. He played 31 snaps and went out on 24 routes, compared to Kylen Granson (31 snaps, 25 routes) and Mo Alie-Cox (28 snaps, 13 routes). While the three tight ends are splitting playing time, Woods and Granson appear to be trending upward, while Alie-Cox didn't have a target.

  • No receptions in win

    Woods did not have a reception and just one target in Thursday's win over Denver.

    Analysis: Woods had two touchdown receptions in a Week 3 win over Kansas City, but he's had one target each of the last two games. He played on 29 percent of the offense's snaps Thursday and ran 14 routes (compared to 23 for Kylen Granson and 21 for Mo Alie-Cox), so at least he hasn't totally disappeared from the passing game.

  • Just one reception

    Woods had one reception for 33 yards on his only target in Sunday's loss to Tennessee.

    Analysis: Catching two touchdowns the week before didn't elevate Woods' role in the Colts' passing game, as he was third among tight ends in snaps and routes run and Mo Alie-Cox caught two touchdowns. However, Woods played 15 snaps on offense and went out on 11 routes (after 16 snaps and 12 routes Week 3), which bodes well for an increasing role.

  • Two touchdowns in win

    Woods brought in two of three targets for 13 yards and two touchdowns in the Colts' 20-17 win over the Chiefs on Sunday.

    Analysis: The rookie was the surprise target on both of Matt Ryan's touchdown tosses, recording one- and 12-yard grabs in the first and fourth quarters, respectively. Woods had yet to see a target prior to Sunday, so despite the surprising fantasy performance Sunday, it's difficult to project what his role might be in a Week 4 home divisional clash against the Titans.

  • Plays just eight snaps in NFL debut

    Woods played on eight of the offense's 92 snaps and was not targeted in the passing game in Sunday's overtime tie at Houston.

    Analysis: Woods had a small role on offense and was clearly behind Mo Alie-Cox and Kylen Granson. The 2022 third-round draft pick will be a developmental project this season.

    Analysis: Woods also caught two passes for 22 yards and a touchdown during Saturday's preseason opener after he reportedly struggled during the early phases of training camp, per Zak Keefer of The Athletic. However, the rookie third-round pick could be poised to move into a larger receiving role this season after fellow tight end Andrew Ogletree suffered a season-ending torn ACL during Indianapolis' joint practice with the Lions on Wednesday.

  • TD catch in preseason debut

    Woods had two receptions for 22 yards on two targets, including an 11-yard touchdown, in Saturday's preseason loss to Buffalo.

    Analysis: Woods had reportedly struggled in training camp and many observers saw him fall behind fellow rookie Andrew Ogletree to No. 4 on the tight end depth chart, so this was a nice bounce-back performance. Woods performed well with the second-team unit and showed his 6-foot-7 size can make him a red-zone threat. The third-round draft pick will likely have a small role in the offense to begin the season as he continues to develop.

  • Struggling early in camp

    Woods has "looked lost at times" during training camp and is "probably coming a long a little slower" than the Colts expected, Zak Keefer of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Keefer also notes that 2021 fourth-round pick Kylen Granson has struggled, leaving Mo Alie-Cox as Indy's only reliable tight end at the moment. Alie-Cox is one of the biggest TEs in the league and has already proven himself as a blocker and red-zone target, but he may not have the agility or route-running skills the team desires for obvious passing situations. Even so, Alie-Cox remains the best redraft bet of the bunch, and he may default into a three-down role if the team's young tight ends…read more
