Jelani Woods Fantasy

Indianapolis Colts third-round rookie tight end Jelani Woods will occupy the second Y tight end spot behind Mo Alie-Cox in his rookie season. The Colts think Woods' blocking is fairly refined and will bank on quarterback Matt Ryan to catch him up as a receiver to even a fraction of the way he did for Kyle Pitts in Atlanta last year. Kylen Granson is the one true F tight end on the roster, and he'll get a chance to grow as a receiver with Ryan under center. Woods is a beast at 6-foot-7, 259 pounds, and he can also run, but with both Alie-Cox and Granson in the picture following Jack Doyle's retirement, it's unlikely that Woods will produce much in his first NFL season.

The Indianapolis Colts selected Virginia tight end Jelani Woods with the No. 73rd pick in the 2022 NFL Draft. He spent most of his college career as a blocking tight end at Oklahoma State before breaking out with 44 receptions for 598 yards and eight touchdowns after transferring to Virginia. Woods will give new Colts quarterback Matt Ryan another red-zone weapon and compete with Mo-Alie Cox for the starting tight end gig in 2022.

Virginia tight end Jelani Woods, who tested off the charts at 6-foot-7, 275 pounds, is taking a top-30 visit with the New York Giants on Monday before visiting with the Atlanta Falcons on Wednesday, according to a source. Woods has met with 20 NFL teams since the combine, including the Indianapolis Colts and Buffalo Bills recently. He has been climbing up draft boards of late and has the potential to come off the board in the first round. Woods is athletic, strong and has great hands, making him an intriguing tight end prospect this year. Rookie tight ends often struggle to produce consistently, so Woods probably won't be a target in redraft leagues, but he has been compared to Antonio Gates.
