Robert Woods Fantasy

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Robert Woods averaged more than 132 targets per season in the last three years with Jared Goff under center. In four games with Matthew Stafford, Woods has just 25 targets, catching 15 of them for 172 yards and two touchdowns. "We just need to get him some more opportunities and that starts with me," head coach Sean McVay said. Cooper Kupp, meanwhile, has 46 targets (11.5 per game) so far. Thirty of Woods' 48 yards in the Week 4 loss to the Arizona Cardinals came in garbage time, including his touchdown. Kupp is clearly Stafford's favorite target, but the opportunities should be there for Woods in this high-scoring offense. Woods is a solid buy-low candidate through four games, and he has WR2 upside this Thursday against a Seahawks defense that ranks 27th in pass defense DVOA, per Football Outsiders.

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Robert Woods remains one of the more confusing players in the NFL heading into Week 5 against the Seattle Seahawks. He's clearly second on his team in targets, but he's averaging just 43.0 yards per game, which is his lowest mark since his last season with the Buffalo Bills. He's also catching only 60 percent of his passes, with two drops after having four all of last season. The Seahawks defense should give Woods a nice bounce-back opportunity, but you can't count on him putting up a vintage high-end performance based on his recent level of play in this offense. Woods is a WR3/flex with upside in LA's high-scoring offense.

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Robert Woods waited a while to get going, but he still managed to put together a solid fantasy outing in the team's Week 4 loss to the Arizona Cardinals. Woods caught four of his six targets for 48 yards and a touchdown late in the game. Woods was tied with three other pass-catchers for the second-most targets on the team with six, which shows that he's not the clear No. 2 option that he has been in years past. He has yet to clear 65 yards in a game and he's caught just two touchdowns thus far. For now, Woods is in the flex conversation, but he's not the safest player out there as he once was.
