2023 Fantasy Outlook
Woods showed promise last season as a rookie with 25 receptions on 40 targets for 312 yards and three touchdowns. 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 late-season disappearance was in part due to shaky quarterback play but also due to the Colts continuing to divide up targets between Woods, Mo Alie-Cox and Kylen Granson. Woods showed enough of a spark that perhaps the team can make him more of a focus in 2023, but the Colts took another tight end in the 2023 draft in fifth-rounder Will Mallory. Read Past Outlooks
Bothered by hammy
Woods is dealing with a hamstring injury, George Bremer of The Anderson Herald Bulletin reports.
ANALYSIS
Gardner Minshew and Anthony Richardson are without some of their pass catchers Thursday for 7-on-7s, as Woods and WR Josh Downs (knee) are injured while WR Michael Pittman is absent for the birth of his child. A 2022 third-round pick, Woods did well with his limited chances in a timeshare last season and could take over more snaps from Mo Alie-Cox and/or Kylen Granson in 2013. The Colts did add blocking specialist Pharaoh Brown and fifth-round pick Will Mallory, but they probably pose more of a threat to Alie-Cox and Granson, respectively.

2022 Fantasy Outlook
Indianapolis selected Woods in the third round of the 2022 NFL Draft, 73rd overall. His size jumps off the page at 6-foot-7 and 259 pounds with 34.5-inch arms but he can move, too. Woods ran an impressive 4.61 in the 40-yard dash at the combine and the film showed good movement skills for a player his size. He blossomed in the Virginia offense in 2021 after transferring over from Oklahoma State, catching 44 of 70 targets for 598 yards and eight touchdowns. With Jack Doyle's retirement, there's a path to Woods finding a role eventually, but Mo Alie-Cox and Kyle Granson project to be higher on the depth chart this season.
