News

  • Another solid output in loss

    Woods secured six of nine targets for 74 yards in the Texans' 31-20 loss to the Colts on Sunday.

    Analysis: The veteran wideout served as a security blanket for rookie quarterback C.J. Stroud, finishing tied for second in targets while sharing the team lead in receptions. Woods has quickly amassed a 12-131 line through two games, and he'll again be a solid option in all formats during a Week 3 road matchup against the Jaguars during which the Texans could well be down by a sizable margin in the second half.

  • Strong showing in Texans debut

    Woods brought in six of 10 targets for 57 yards and returned one punt for 10 yards in the Texans' 25-9 loss to the Ravens on Sunday.

    Analysis: The veteran wideout finished second across the board on the stat sheet to Nico Collins in terms of receiving numbers, serving as a reliable possession option for rookie quarterback C.J. Stroud in his first start. Woods' profile in the offense Sunday is likely a blueprint for what to expect from him most weeks this season, with Collins handling the more high-upside downfield routes. Woods will likely be busy again during a Week 2 home matchup against the Colts.

  • Grabs one reception Saturday

    Woods made his preseason debut with Houston on Saturday, catching his lone target for 11 yards in a 28-3 exhibition loss to Miami.

    Analysis: Woods started alongside Nico Collins (2-21-0) as expected following the offseason trade of Brandin Cooks to Dallas. The 31-year-old is hoping to bounce back from a career-worst 31-yard per-game average with the Titans in 2022. Perhaps Woods will be a better fit in the Texans' new-look offense, but we will have to see quick results after last year left a sour taste in fantasy managers' mouths.

  • Moves up depth chart

    Woods moved up the depth chart after the Texans traded Brandin Cooks to Dallas on Sunday.

    Analysis: Houston's wideout depth chart begins with Woods and Nico Collins (foot). Woods is coming off a down season with Tennessee, where he had a career-low 527 yards over a full 17-game slate. There are multiple reasons to explain that drop in production: he was coming off a knee injury that ended his 2021 season, and Woods played with three different quarterbacks in Nashville. A third and more worrisome reason could be age -- Woods will be 31 this coming season -- and may not have much left in the…read more

  • Signing with Texans

    Woods and the Texans have agreed to terms on a two-year, $15.25 million deal, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

    Analysis: Woods was cut by the Titans in February in an effort for Tennessee to clear up salary cap space. The soon-to-be 31-year-old pass catcher played a full 17-game slate in 2022, accumulating 527 yards and two touchdowns on 53 receptions in the process. It remains to be seen what Houston plans on doing with fellow wide receiver Brandin Cooks, but Woods will presumably slot in as a top target for whomever is under center come Week 1.

  • Cut by Tennessee

    The Titans will release Woods on Wednesday, Jordan Schultz of TheScore.com reports.

    Analysis: Woods' release will save Tennessee roughly $12 million in cap space. The team is also releasing three-time Pro Bowl left tackle Taylor Lewan (knee), who was limited to just two games in 2022 before suffering an ACL tear. Woods, who will turn 31 in April, played a full 17-game slate in 2022. He secured 53 of 91 targets for 527 yards and two scores, and his average of 9.9 yards per reception was the worst such mark of his 10-year NFL career.

  • Caps season with four more catches

    Woods reeled in four of five passes for 40 yards during Saturday's 20-16 loss to Jacksonville.

    Analysis: Woods tied Austin Hooper and Treylon Burks for the team lead in catches and otherwise finished second in receiving yards and targets among Titans. The yardage total also marked Woods' most since Week 14 (also against the Jaguars) and was his fourth most of the campaign, leaving him with a season-long line of 53-527-2 on 91 targets in 16 games. It was a fair performance for a player that tore his ACL on Nov. 13, 2021, and the 30-year-old now can focus on putting the serious injury further in…read more

  • Team-high catch total Thursday

    Woods brought in five of nine targets for 39 yards and a touchdown in the Titans' 27-13 loss to the Cowboys on Thursday night.

    Analysis: Woods' catch and target totals were both team highs, and he was on the receiving end of Joshua Dobbs' one touchdown pass late in the third quarter. The veteran wideout has multiple catches in four consecutive games, and his experience could certainly afford him an important role again in a key Week 18 road matchup versus the Jaguars a week from Sunday that will decide the AFC South champion.

  • Four catches in loss

    Woods recorded four catches on four targets for 30 yards in Saturday's 19-14 loss to the Texans.

    Analysis: Woods led the Titans in receptions and receiving yards, an indication of how little the offense was able to move the ball. While he managed to record at least four receptions for the third time in his last six games, Woods didn't manage much yardage, as he was targeted entirely in the short areas of the field. That's unlikely to change with Malik Willis under center for the rest of the regular season.

  • Only 12 yards against Chargers

    Woods recorded two catches on four targets for 12 yards in Sunday's 17-14 loss to the Chargers.

    Analysis: Woods finished second among Tennessee's wide receivers in snaps -- he had one fewer than Nick Westbrook-Ikhine -- but that didn't lead to much production. His most notable opportunity came when he was targeted inside the five early in the second quarter, though Derrick Henry ultimately punched in the score one play later. Woods now has 30 or fewer receiving yards in nine games on the campaign.

  • Puts in full workout

    Woods (illness) was listed as full participant at Thursday's practice.

    Analysis: Woods' ability to take every rep at the Titans' second practice of Week 15 clears the way for him to play Sunday against the Chargers after he was sidelined for Wednesday's session. He'll likely serve as the Titans' unquestioned No. 1 receiver for the second game in a row, with talented rookie Treylon Burks having yet to make any tangible progress through the NFL's five-step concussion protocol since suffering the head injury on a touchdown reception in Tennessee's Week 13 loss to Philadelphia.

  • Back at practice

    Woods (illness) was present for practice Thursday, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

    Analysis: Woods sat out Wednesday's session, so his return to the field Thursday bodes well for his chances of suiting up Sunday against the Chargers. The Titans' upcoming practice report will clarify whether Woods was a limited or full participant.

  • Dealing with illness

    Woods didn't practice Wednesday due to an illness, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

    Analysis: The nature of Woods' ailment isn't known, but if he misses a second day of practice Thursday, then it would add yet another layer of concern for his availability this weekend against the Chargers. While rookie first-round pick Treylon Burks (concussion) was sidelined for this past Sunday's loss to the Jaguars, Woods recorded five receptions for 49 yards on seven targets. He's now drawn seven or more targets in five of his 13 appearances on the season.

  • Respectable performance in loss

    Woods recorded five receptions on seven targets for 49 yards in Sunday's 36-22 loss to the Jaguars.

    Analysis: Woods topped 30 receiving yards for only the second time in his last eight games. He has been used in short areas of the field this season but was uncharacteristically targeted deep on two occasions and managed long receptions of 18 and 17 yards in Sunday's loss. Woods has seen at least five targets in each of his last five games, though that hasn't translated to much production.

  • Another disastrous performance

    Woods recorded one reception on five targets for six yards in Sunday's 35-10 loss to the Eagles.

    Analysis: Woods finished tied for the team lead in targets, but he had a disastrous performance. His lone catch of the day came late in the second quarter in the short area of the field. Woods now has 16 or fewer receiving yards in four of his last five games.

  • Contract restructured

    Woods agreed Tuesday to restructure his contract with the Titans by converting $2.6M of his base salary into a signing bonus, Field Yates of ESPN reports.

    Analysis: Tennessee gets more room to maneuver in-season due to the transaction. Woods' contract carries a 'dead cap' number of just over $2 million for the 2023 season, per Spotrac.com. Now one year removed from his ACL injury, he has 32 catches for 351 yards and one touchdown on 56 targets across his first 11 games with Tennessee. The veteran wideout has mostly worked as a short-area target through the early stages of his Titans tenure, and further contract talks could have to be carried out this…read more

  • Wastes six targets

    Woods recorded two receptions on six targets for 16 yards in Sunday's 20-16 loss to the Bengals.

    Analysis: Woods tied for the team lead with six targets, yet he averaged only 2.7 yards per target to turn in a disastrous performance. Positively, he's seen at least six targets in three consecutive games, though he's combined to post only 95 yards on 20 targets in that span. Unsurprisingly, Woods has completely lacked any big-play ability, as he has only three receptions of 20 yards or more and one score for the season.

  • Stays busy in Week 11 win

    Woods brought in six of seven targets for 69 yards in the Titans' 27-17 win over the Packers on Thursday night.

    Analysis: Woods finished second to Treylon Burks in receptions, receiving yards and targets on the night, posting a season high in catches along the way. The veteran wideout has mostly filled a short-area role during his brief Titans tenure thus far, but he could be a beneficiary of the increased defensive attention Burks should start receiving from opposing defenses down the stretch.

  • Non-factor in win

    Woods recorded two receptions on seven targets for 10 yards in Sunday's 17-10 win over the Broncos.

    Analysis: Woods tied for second on the team with seven targets, but he failed to show any rapport with Ryan Tannehill. While lack of a passing game offered some explanation for Woods' slow start to the season, volume was not an issue for him Sunday. Instead, he simply couldn't do anything with his opportunity, and he has surpassed 40 yards in only one game this season.

  • No catches in OT loss

    Woods failed to haul in either of his targets in Sunday's 20-17 overtime loss to Kansas City.

    Analysis: Rookie quarterback Malik Willis completed just five passes Sunday, so it's hard to blame any Tennessee receiving option for producing a poor fantasy line. Woods has seen his production dip significantly since joining the run-first Titans this past offseason and he's managed a 22-256-1 receiving line through eight games, making him a tough sell no matter who is under center for Tennessee next Sunday against the Broncos.

  • Quiet in Sunday's win

    Woods caught both his targets for 26 yards in Sunday's 17-10 win over the Texans.

    Analysis: While his numbers weren't good, Woods actually led Tennessee in receiving on the day as rookie quarterback Malik Willis completed only six passes in his first NFL start. The veteran wideout hasn't reached 40 yards in any of the last four games, but Woods could have an opportunity for a lot more production in Week 9 if Ryan Tannehill (ankle) is back under center and has to try and keep pace with the high-octane Kansas City offense.

  • Three catches in win

    Woods recorded three receptions on four targets for 26 yards in Sunday's 19-10 win over the Colts.

    Analysis: The Titans jumped out to a 13-0 lead by halftime, so Ryan Tannehill attempted only 20 passes. As a result, Woods led the team with four targets and tied for the lead in receptions. He was also limited to short areas of the field and has now managed to surpass 40 receiving yards in only one of six games this season.

  • Does little with eight targets

    Woods recorded four receptions on eight targets for 37 yards in Sunday's 21-17 win over the Commanders.

    Analysis: Woods led the Titans in targets but couldn't build on his strong Week 4 performance. Instead, he managed only 4.6 yards per target and tallied under 40 receiving yards for the fourth time in five games as a Titan. So long as the team's offense can run through Derrick Henry, Woods' production is likely to remain sporadic.

  • First touchdown as Titan

    Woods recorded four receptions on four targets for 30 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 24-17 win over the Colts.

    Analysis: Woods served as the Titans' top wide receiver and tied for the team lead in both targets and receptions. His upside was limited as Ryan Tannehill attempted only 21 passes, but Woods still managed to tally his first touchdown in Tennessee on a seven-yard reception midway through the first quarter. Woods now has three consecutive games with four receptions, but he may struggle to produce more as the team remains reliant on Derrick Henry to power its offense.

  • Productive against Raiders

    Woods recorded four receptions on nine targets for 85 yards in Sunday's 24-22 win over the Raiders.

    Analysis: Woods looked the part of the top receiver in Tennessee, leading the team in targets, receptions and yards. His longest reception of the day went for 41 yards when he leaked behind the Raiders' secondary, though he also managed chunk gains of 21 and 16 yards. Woods has shown improvement in each of his three games as a Titan, and he'll look to keep that going in a Week 4 matchup against the Colts.

  • Marginal improvement in Week 2

    Woods caught four of five targets for 39 yards in Monday's 41-7 loss to the Bills.

    Analysis: This is a step up for Woods after his one-catch Titans debut, but the entire Tennessee offense looked even worse than it did in the season-opening loss to the Giants. While Woods wasn't expected to fill the void created by A.J. Brown's departure by himself, the veteran receiver was certainly expected to play a greater role than he has thus far for a Titans team that's scored just 27 points heading into a Week 3 visit from the Raiders.

  • Nearly invisible in Titans debut

    Woods caught one of two targets for 13 yards in Sunday's 21-20 loss to the Giants.

    Analysis: The veteran receiver was brought in to replace A.J. Brown as the Titans' No. 1 option in the passing game, but Woods failed to show much chemistry with Ryan Tannehill in his first game with his new club. Rookies Treylon Burks and, surprisingly, fifth-round pick Kyle Philips both had much stronger performances, but Woods will likely need to show up in Week 2 as Tennessee travels to Buffalo for a Monday night clash.

  • Makes Titans debut

    Woods caught his only target for three yards in Saturday's 26-23 preseason win over Arizona.

    Analysis: Woods has been ramping up his activity in practice while recovering from a torn ACL and Saturday marked his first time on the field for game action since he suffered the injury. The results weren't particularly notable, but Woods should be in line for plenty of targets -- particularly early in the season -- even in the relatively low passing volume of the Tennessee offense.

  • Expected to play Saturday

    Woods (knee) is expected to play in Saturday's preseason finale against the Cardinals, Paul Kuharsky of PaulKuharsky.com reports.

    Analysis: Woods noted Thursday that his surgically repaired knee is "not even a thought" anymore, and his looming preseason appearance solidifies that notion. Assuming no setbacks, he's in line to open the season as the top option in a Tennessee wideout corps that also includes Treylon Burks, Nick Westbrook-Ikhine and Kyle Philips.

  • Not worried about knee

    Woods said Thursday that his surgically repaired knee is "not even a thought" anymore, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official website reports.

    Analysis: Woods has been practicing on at least a limited basis since May OTAs, with the goal all along to be ready for Week 1 against the Games. He seems to have progressed a bit faster than most players coming back from ACL tears, but it's nonetheless possible his snaps will be scaled back whenever he takes the field for the first time since last November.

  • Increasing workload at camp

    Woods (knee) hasn't been a full participant in practice, but he's making progress and his workload has included some 7-on-7 drills, ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Coming back from a mid-November ACL tear, Woods got in some work at the offseason program and then avoided the PUP list for the start of training camp. He's already said his goal is to be ready for Week 1, and he's on track to make that happen with five and a half weeks to go before Tennessee's season opener. Woods is the favorite to lead his new team in targets, though rookie first-round pick Treylon Burks is also a viable candidate.

  • Aiming to play Week 1

    Woods (knee) says his goal is to be ready to play in the season opener against the Giants, Kevin Patra of NFL.com reports.

    Analysis: Woods is unlikely to play in preseason, but he has progressed well in his recovery from a mid-November ACL tear. The veteran wide receiver has been able to build a rapport with quarterback Ryan Tannehill by running routes in practice, as Woods' knee is already healthy enough for non-contact work.

  • Sheds knee brace

    Woods participated in Wednesday's training camp session without a brace protecting his surgically repaired left knee, Turron Davenport of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Woods continues to run routes and participate in catching exercises at practice, though it may still be some time before he's cleared for contact activities. Still, all news surrounding Woods' recovery process has been encouraging with respect to his chances of suiting up Week 1. Rookie first-round pick Treylon Burks appears to be putting issues with conditioning behind him as training camp kicks off, so it looks like there's a chance quarterback Ryan Tannehill could begin the post-A.J.

    Woods (knee) ran routes and caught passes at OTAs on Tuesday, Paul Kuharsky of PaulKuharsky.com reports.

    Analysis: It'll be a while before he's cleared for team drills or contact, but this is a strong sign Woods is on schedule in his rehab from the ACL tear he suffered a little over six months ago. His progress still needs to be monitored throughout the spring and summer, as the timing of the mid-November injury means any setback could threaten Woods' availability for Week 1. With A.J.

  • Making steady progress

    Woods has been patient in his recovery from a torn ACL but is feeling "really good," Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

    Analysis: Woods has been present at the team's voluntary program this offseason, though he has not physically participated. Instead, both Woods and the team have noted that the focus is on his ability to take part in training camp and maintain his health for the entirety of the 2022 season. Woods was acquired by Tennessee in mid-March, and he could be in line to lead the receiver corps after A.J. Brown was traded during the NFL Draft.

  • Won't be ready for OTAs

    Woods (knee) said Wednesday that he won't be ready to join the Titans for OTAs this spring, John Glennon of SI.com reports.

    Analysis: A prior report suggested Woods was hoping to return for minicamp in May or June. While gaining clearance for minicamp may be a stretch, Woods should have a real chance to be ready for the start of training camp in late July, at which point he'll be eight and a half months removed from suffering an ACL tear and undergoing surgery. The Rams traded Woods to the Titans on Saturday, ending his five-year run in Los Angeles and leaving no doubt that Allen Robinson is the team's new No. 2 receiver.…read more

    The Rams traded Woods (knee) to the Titans on Saturday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: After the failed Julio Jones experiment in the 2021 campaign, the Titans are making another splash in the trade market this offseason to get a No. 2 wide receiver to complement A.J. Brown. Woods sustained a torn ACL during practice Nov. 13, but reports have emerged this offseason that he's aiming to participate at some point during the offseason program. Now, those sessions will be in Nashville versus L.A. following this deal. Prior to suffering the injury last season, he put together a…read more

  • Hopes to return for minicamp

    Woods (knee) has been rehabbing from surgery with an eye toward returning for minicamp in May or June, Jourdan Rodrigue of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Woods seems to be making good progress since tearing his ACL in mid-November, though the timing of the injury makes a return for minicamp rather ambitious. He's stuck around with the team throughout much of the Rams' playoff run, helping young wideout Van Jefferson and midseason addition Odell Beckham get more comfortable in the Los Angeles offense. On March 20, Woods will receive a $3.5 million roster bonus, at which point his $10 million base salary also becomes guaranteed, per Spotrac.com.…read more

  • Officially on IR

    The Rams placed Woods (knee) on injured reserve Wednesday.

    Analysis: The transaction was merely a procedural move after Woods sustained a season-ending torn ACL during a Nov. 12 practice. The Rams thus will move forward following their Week 11 bye with Cooper Kupp, Odell Beckham, Van Jefferson and Ben Skowronek as their primary options at wide receiver. Beckham, whom the team officially signed just one day before Woods suffered the injury, logged 28 percent of the offensive snaps in his Rams debut at San Francisco, while the other three aforementioned wideouts…read more

  • Tears ACL

    Woods tore his ACL during Friday's practice and is expected to miss the rest of the season, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

    Analysis: Woods evidently tore his ACL during Friday's practice but he was able to finish it out and even did media interviews before tests revealed the seriousness of the injury. The signing of Odell Beckham, which came just prior to Woods' injury, now looks incredibly fortuitous and likely sets the stage for the newly signed Pro Bowl wideout to make his debut with the team this weekend. The team's 2020 second-round pick, Van Jefferson, likely will see a greater role as well following the shocking news,…read more

    Woods (foot) had seven receptions (10 targets) for 98 yards and one carry for six yards in Sunday's 28-16 loss to the Titans.

    Analysis: Woods was dealing with a nagging foot injury during practice this week, but he didn't appear hampered by the issue and turned in a strong fantasy performance. Cooper Kupp is clearly the top wideout for the Rams, but the reliable veteran Woods has been a solid contributor with some notable fantasy outings sprinkled throughout.

    Woods (foot) is listed as active Sunday against the Titans, Stu Jackson of the Rams' official site reports.

    Analysis: Woods logged just one limited practice this week (Friday), but it was enough for him to gain clearance to play through his foot injury. He's been a decent enough No. 2 behind Cooper Kupp, the NFL's leader in receiving, turning his 59 targets into a 38-458-4 line through eight games. Woods will look to keep it up versus a Tennessee defense that ranks 23rd against the pass (267.4 yards per game).

Not just Kupp, but Tyler Higbee (eight) and Van Jefferson (seven) out-targeted Woods, who tied with running back Darrell Henderson for fourth on the team.

    Analysis: The veteran wideout had been atypically quiet, by his standards, in the air attack over the first four games of the season, but Thursday became Woods' night to shine early and often. Woods was targeted once apiece on each of the Rams' first two drives and six times overall in the first half before seeing even more work over the final two quarters.

The veteran WR has turned his looks into a respectable 15 receptions for 172 yards and two touchdowns, so it's not surprising that McVay is talking up Woods while suggesting the receiver will be more involved in the offense moving forward.

    Analysis: The veteran receiver caught his second TD of the season in garbage time to help salvage his numbers on the afternoon. He remains well behind Cooper Kupp in the pecking order for new quarterback Matthew Stafford, and even No. 3 wideout Van Jefferson was more productive Sunday on the same target volume as Woods. Until he shows more chemistry with Stafford, Woods will be relegated to being a shaky fantasy option heading into a Week 5 clash with the Seahawks.

The veteran had just three grabs on four targets in the opener against the Bears, but he salvaged his fantasy night to an extent in that contest with a touchdown.

Woods now has six touchdowns on the year, tying his career high from 2018, and he's eight receptions away from tying the personal best of 90 he set last season.

    Analysis: With Jared Goff throwing for just 137 yards on 25 pass attempts, Woods unsurprisingly had one of his quieter games of the campaign. The veteran receiver did tie Cooper Kupp for the team lead in receptions, but he checked in under the 40-yard mark for the sixth time in 13 games. Woods certainly has the talent to bounce back in any given week, however, and a Week 15 matchup against the vulnerable Jets secondary on Sunday, Dec. 20 could well prompt one of his stronger fantasy performances.

He has now reached the 80-yard mark in three of his last four games and is back on pace to flirt with 1,000 yards for the season despite a few rough outings along the way.

    Analysis: Woods not only posted his lowest reception and receiving yardage totals since Week 2, but also cost his team points by coughing up an end-around during the fourth quarter. Fortunately for Woods, he gained 25 yards on a rush earlier in the game, at least salvaging some value.

However, the touchdown saved his fantasy day, and the 28-year-old receiver should return to being more involved in the passing attack in Week 3.

    Analysis: Woods is 28 year old and has two seasons remaining on his current deal, so it appears the Rams now have him under contract through his age-33 campaign. The team also has Jared Goff, Cooper Kupp and Tyler Higbee signed long term, providing a solid foundation for the passing game. Woods should be in a good mood for his Sunday matchup with the Eagles, though it's possible he sees regular coverage from veteran cornerback Darius Slay.

  • Closing in on extension

    Coach Sean McVay said Thursday that the Rams expect to sign Woods to a contract extension "very shortly," Cameron DaSilva of USA Today reports.

    Analysis: McVay said that the Rams are working towards "something similar" to the three-year, $48 million contract Cooper Kupp received earlier this month for Woods. In a Thursday video conference with reporters, Woods himself said that he hopes to have an agreement finalized before suiting up against Eagles on Sunday. The 28-year-old, who compiled six catches for 105 receiving yards in Los Angeles' season opener, is currently under contract through 2021 and set to earn a $9 million base salary next year.

  • Reaches century mark in win

    Woods hauled in six of eight targets for 105 yards and added 14 yards on a lone carry in a 20-17 win over Dallas on Sunday.

    Analysis: This was a typical fantasy performance from Woods; he put in work between the 20s, wasn't much of a red-zone target (eight touchdowns over the last two seasons) and was good for one end around on the ground (he averaged 1.1 carries per game in 2019). The 28-year-old led the club in yardage, receptions and targets on a night where the Rams leaned more on its rushing attack (40 rushes to 20 pass attempts) to chip away at the Cowboys defense. With Brandin Cooks playing in Houston and a reluctance…read more

  • Eyeing extension

    Woods is eager to ink a long-term extension and remain with the Rams, Lindsey Thiry of ESPN reports.

    Analysis: The 28-year-old receiver is coming off his second consecutive 1,000-yard campaign and projects to remain a go-to target for quarterback Jared Goff. With Brandin Cooks shipped off to Houston, Woods' role in the passing attack could even expand, and there should also be positive regression ahead of last season's two touchdowns -- Woods had 11 through 28 games over his first two seasons with the Rams. Still, Los Angeles has plenty of weapons, and Woods profiles as more of a possession receiver…read more

  • Finds end zone against Cards

    Woods caught seven of his 12 targets for 67 yards and a touchdown and added a nine-yard rush during Sunday's 31-24 win over Arizona.

    Analysis: The solid Week 17 showing positioned Woods above 1,000 receiving yards for the second consecutive season, and he also finished with a career-high 90 receptions. However, the seven-year veteran only found the end zone twice all season, and those touchdowns didn't come until Weeks 14 and 17. Los Angeles has all four of its top receivers under contract for the 2020 campaign, so Woods should once again be heavily involved in the Rams' passing attack, and he's probably a candidate for statistical…read more

  • Paces pass catchers in loss

    Woods secured eight of 11 targets for 117 yards and rushed twice for six yards in the Rams' 34-31 loss to the 49ers on Saturday.

    Analysis: Woods turned in a valiant effort in the loss that officially eliminated the Rams from playoff contention, pacing the team in receiving yardage and co-leading it in targets. The veteran secured his second straight 1,000-yard season with his performance, which also marked his third 100-yard game of the campaign. Woods has seen no fewer than nine targets in any of the last six contests, and he'll look to finish off the season on a positive note against the Cardinals' vulnerable secondary in Week…read more

  • Struggles despite high volume

    Woods caught four of nine targets for 17 yards in Sunday's 44-21 loss to the Cowboys.

    Analysis: Jared Goff had accuracy issues for most of the game, and Woods arguably suffered the most from his QB's scattershot efforts. On the bright side, the veteran receiver has seen at least nine targets in each of his last five games, but Sunday's output was a far cry from the eight grabs and 115 yards he averaged over the prior four contests. Woods will look to bounce back next Saturday in a road clash with the 49ers.

  • Finally breaks plane of end zone

    Woods had seven catches (nine targets) for 98 yards and touchdown in Sunday's 28-12 win over Seattle. He added 29 rushing yards on two carries.

    Analysis: Woods has racked up 71 receptions and 933 receiving yards through 12 games this season, so it may come as a surprise that Sunday's score was the receiver's first touchdown of the 2019 campaign. Jared Goff simply prefers Cooper Kupp (seven touchdowns) as a target in the red zone when Todd Gurley (10 touchdowns) is not taking it in. A few more touchdowns would certainly boost Woods' fantasy value, but the veteran remains a strong PPR option for his work between the 20s heading into a tough…read more

  • Another big performance

    Woods hauled in 13 of his 19 targets for 172 yards in the team's Week 13 win over the Cardinals.

    Analysis: Woods had a career day, posting his highest target, reception and yardage total in a single game. The only thing missing from his performance was a trip to the end zone, though he still turned in two massive receptions of 49 and 25 yards. Though he had inconsistent involvement in the offense early in the season, Woods now has at least nine targets in each of his past three games. He'll look to remain involved as the team takes on Seattle in Week 14.

  • Tops team in receiving

    Woods caught six of nine targets for 97 yards in Monday night's 45-6 loss to the Ravens.

    Analysis: Woods returned to the lineup after missing Week 11 for personal reasons, and he went on to lead the Rams in receiving. In fact, he registered at least 60 more yards than any of his teammates, even though Cooper Kupp's 10 targets topped his tally. Thanks to a season-long reception of 38 yards Monday, Woods has now gone for at least 80 yards in three of his last four outings, putting him in fine form ahead of this Sunday's matchup against the Cardinals. That being said, he's still yet to catch a…read more

  • Returning to action Monday

    Woods (personal) is active for Monday's contest against the Ravens, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

    Analysis: After spending some time away from the Rams to tend to a family matter, Woods was present at every practice prior to this game, but coach Sean McVay wouldn't commit to the wide receiver returning to action. Having said that, Woods was seen warming up on the field Monday and even ran some routes, according to Gary Klein of the Los Angeles Times. Proving his readiness to take the field, Woods will suit up for the first time since Nov. 10.

  • Clear of injury report

    Woods (personal) doesn't have an injury designation for Monday's game against the Ravens, Cameron DaSilva of USA Today reports.

    Analysis: Coach Sean McVay didn't fully confirm Woods' availability for Week 12 earlier Saturday, per Lindsey Thiry of ESPN.com, but the fact he isn't listed on the final injury report in any capacity indicates the wideout should play. The 27-year-old was a late scratch for last Sunday's win over the Bears due to a family issue, but he was never listed on this week's injury report. Brandin Cooks (concussion) is also set to return, bringing the Rams' receiving corps back to full strength.

  • Status still uncertain

    Woods (personal) "looks good" at practice, but head coach Sean McVay did not fully confirm whether the wide receiver would be available for Monday's game, Lindsey Thiry of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Woods was not listed on the team's injury report Thursday or Friday, but considering McVay wouldn't outright confirm whether his veteran wide receiver would be available after surprisingly being ruled inactive last week, it's fair to question what his status might be for the prime-time contest. More information should arrive following the team's final injury report Saturday, but fantasy owners may want to roster a potential backup option from Monday's 8:15 p.m. ET game in the unlikely event…read more

  • Avoids injury report

    Woods (personal) wasn't listed on the Rams' injury report Thursday, Stu Jackson of the team's official site reports.

    Analysis: Woods was unavailable for the Rams' Week 11 matchup with the Bears as he dealt with a family matter. Returning to the team Thursday, his number of practice reps was normal, but coach Sean McVay wouldn't commit to Woods being available Monday versus the Ravens. "We'll see," McVay told Cameron DaSilva of USA Today. Thus, Woods' status may be up in the air, which doesn't help fantasy managers with the Rams taking the field after every other Week 12 participant but Baltimore.

  • Present for practice

    Coach Sean McVay said Woods (personal) has rejoined the team and will participate Thursday in the Rams' first practice of Week 12, Lindsey Thiry of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Though Woods is back in the fold, McVay merely said, "we'll see," when asked if the wideout would be available for Monday's game against the Ravens. Woods stepped away from the team shortly before the Week 11 win over the Bears to tend to the family matter, so the Rams may want to see him put in at least a couple full practices during the current week before deciding on his status for gameday. If both Woods and Brandin Cooks (concussion) are deemed available versus Baltimore, the Rams would…read more

  • Not yet back with team

    Coach Sean McVay said Wednesday that Woods (personal) has yet to rejoin the Rams, Lindsey Thiry of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Woods left the team shortly before its Week 11 game against the Bears to tend to a family matter and doesn't have a timetable for reporting back to work. Based on McVay's comments, it's not expected that Woods will be in attendance for the team's first official practice of the week Thursday, but that wouldn't necessarily end his chances to play Monday against the Ravens. In other news relating to the Rams' receiving group, Branding Cooks (concussion) is on track to pass through the NFL's…read more

    Coach Sean McVay didn't put a timeline on when Woods (personal) might return to the team, Lindsey Thiry of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Speaking to the media Monday, McVay said Woods continues to tend to a personal matter, hence the reason he missed Sunday's 17-7 win over the Bears. Until Brandin Cooks gets out of the concussion protocol, the Rams' top two options at wide receiver are Cooper Kupp and Josh Reynolds.

  • Surprise scratch Sunday

    Woods (unknown) is listed as inactive Sunday against the Bears, Gary Klein of the Los Angeles Times reports.

    Analysis: It's not immediately known why Woods is sitting out this game, as he didn't appear on the injury report at any point during the week. Woods is coming off one of his best performances of the season, as he hauled in seven of 11 targets for 95 scoreless yards in Week 10. With Brandin Cooks (concussion) also inactive, Cooper Kupp and Josh Reynolds will lead the receiving corps, while JoJo Natson, Mike Thomas and perhaps even Nsimba Webster rotate in.

  • Just misses century mark

    Woods caught seven of 11 targets for 95 yards in Sunday's 17-12 loss to the Steelers.

    Analysis: With Brandin Cooks (concussion) out and Cooper Kupp effectively neutralized by the Pittsburgh secondary, Woods was Jared Goff's most reliable remaining option, and he led the Rams in receiving yards. It's only the third time this season he's seen double-digit targets, and after catching 11 TD passes over the prior two campaigns Woods has yet to haul one in this year, although he does have a rushing touchdown. He'll have a hard time snapping that drought in Week 11 against a stingy and desperate…read more
