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. Read Past Outlooks
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 late-season disappearance was in part due to shaky quarterback play but also due to the Colts continuing to divide up targets between Woods, Alie-Cox and (when healthy) Granson. Woods showed enough of a spark that perhaps the team can make him more of a focus in 2023.
