Jelani Woods Fantasy

Indianapolis Colts tight end Jelani Woods didn't see a target through the first two games of the season. However, the third-round rookie was able to get involved during Sunday's game against the Kansas City Chiefs. Woods hauled in both of his targets for 13 yards and two touchdowns in the win. Sadly for him, Woods is playing in a three-man committee with Mo Alie-Cox and Kylen Granson. It's unlikely that he has weekly fantasy value, but this was a nice outing for the rookie tight end.

Indianapolis Colts rookie tight end Jelani Woods looked hesitant early on in training camp and was dropping passes, but he's slowly made progress and the Colts are counting on him to be the third tight end behind starters Mo Alie-Cox and Kylen Granson now that fellow rookie Andrew Ogletree (knee) is done for the season. Indy is throwing a lot at Woods now and will narrow his role during the regular season. He has made strides as a blocker and probably had the best day catching passes on Thursday. The 23-year-old has a massive frame and could be a mismatch down the field, and although he might make an impact here and there in his rookie season, he'll only be an option in the latter rounds of rookie-only fantasy drafts.

Indianapolis Colts tight ends Kylen Granson and Jelani Woods need to stack more consistent days together at training camp. Granson had too many drops in the spring and hasn't done much so far in training camp. Woods, who is a rookie, is coming on a little slower than the team would like and has looked lost at times. Veteran Mo Alie-Cox (knee) returned to practice on Tuesday after tweaking his knee last week. Behind him, the Colts have a lot of question marks at the position. Alie-Cox has mostly been used as a blocker and sometimes a red-zone threat in his career, but he should see more chances to catch passes in 2022 with Jack Doyle entering retirement. Still, at best, Alie-Cox will be a low-end, touchdown-dependent TE2 in fantasy.
