2024 RTSports Outlook

Woods did not play a game last year, battling hamstring injuries. He had 25 receptions his rookie season and will try to earn a job in a crowded Colts tight end room this season. Woods is a good athlete with good size and strength. He is an improving blocker and receiver. Woods can be very tough after the catch because of his size and speed. He remains a bit raw, though, so inconsistency can be a problem. And injuries are a concern after last year.

FANTASY OUTLOOK: Woods might be worth a spot play if he is getting consistent playing time. He might have a few big games along the way but needs to earn that role in the offense first. He could get around 20 receptions for 250 yards.

RotoBaller's Outlook

Woods was on the verge of a breakout season in 2023. He had caught 25 passes for 312 yards and three scores during his 2022 rookie campaign and was slated to be Indianapolis' top tight end. His dreams and those of the fantasy managers that drafted him were ruined, however, by a preseason hamstring injury that lingered throughout the year and eventually cost him the entire season. Now Woods gets a second chance to establish himself as the Colts' TE1. He is fully recovered from his hamstring problems and is a better pass catcher than Mo Alie-Cox, Kylen Granson or Will Mallory, the other three tight ends on the roster. He has the speed to stretch the field down the seems and is a matchup nightmare for linebackers and slow-footed safeties. One thing going against Woods is that Indianapolis has an exciting threesome at wide receiver (Michael Pittman Jr., Josh Downs, Adonai Mitchell) who will be targeted more often than he will. Another is Woods might have ring rust to shake off since he has not played in a game that counted in well over a year. Woods looks like a TE2 who could give fantasy managers 50 receptions for 600 yards and four touchdowns if his hamstrings hold up. Draft him in the late rounds and hope for the best since his ceiling is high, especially in dynasty leagues
