Houston Texans wide receiver Robert Woods could suddenly be his team's top receiving option in Week 10 against the Detroit Lions. Houston wide receiver Stefon Diggs (knee) is already out for the season, while Nico Collins (hamstring) is questionable after being activated from injured reserve. Tank Dell (back) popped up on the final injury report and is also questionable, which could leave Woods as the team's most trusted receiver. Woods' role will be hard to predict based on the status of the other receivers, making him highly risky to play, but he could be worth the stash in deep formats.
Houston Texans wide receiver Robert Woods was expected to be a bigger part of the offense in the Thursday night game against the New York Jets. During the 21-13 loss, he saw three targets and caught two of them for 44 yards. The Jets' defense shut down the passing game as they only put up 135 yards through the air compared to 187 on the ground. C.J. Stroud was also sacked eight times, so Woods didn't have much of a chance to get open. The Texans will get some extra rest heading into their Week 10 matchup against another good defense in the Detroit Lions.
Houston Texans wide receiver Robert Woods (foot) has been ruled out for the team's Week 7 matchup against the Green Bay Packers. It's no surprise to see Woods designated as inactive as he has yet to practice since injuring his foot during a punt return in the team's 23-20 win over the Buffalo Bills. The 32-year-old was expected to compete for snaps in the absence of wideout Nico Collins (hamstring), but Houston will now roll into Sunday's outing down two pass-catching weapons. With them unavailable, the primary wideouts for quarterback C.J. Stroud are projected to be Stefon Diggs, Tank Dell, and Xavier Hutchinson, with John Metchie III and Steven Sims mixing in.
Houston Texans wide receiver Robert Woods (foot) remained sidelined during practice on Thursday. The veteran pass-catcher is trending toward missing his second consecutive game, but Friday's practice will provide some additional context and confirmation surrounding his status. Regardless of whether Woods enters the weekend listed as out, doubtful, or questionable, he's a non-factor in fantasy football and can be left on waivers in all leagues.
Houston Texans wide receiver Robert Woods (foot) is not practicing on Wednesday. The 32-year-old missed the Week 6 game against the New England Patriots with a foot injury, and his early-week absence suggests he could miss at least another contest. With Nico Collins (hamstring) on Injured Reserve, Woods could see an enhanced role if he gets back to action before Collins' earliest activation date (Week 10). In Week 6, wideouts Stefon Diggs and Tank Dell accounted for 16 of the team's 18 targets to wide receivers, so whether Woods plays or not, no other Texans' receiver is on the fantasy football radar against the Green Bay Packers in Week 7.
Houston Texans wide receiver Robert Woods (foot) won't suit up for Sunday's matchup with the Patriots. Nico Collins (hamstring) landed on the injured reserved list, so the Texans will be shorthanded on the receiving end. Of course, Stefon Diggs is expected to be the primary target for C.J. Stroud versus New England, with Tank Dell in line to see more attention. However, with Woods and Collins out of the equation, Xavier Hutchinson, who had two catches for 31 yards in Week 5, could benefit the most. There's also a chance Joe Mixon (ankle), who is questionable, gets more passes out of the backfield, which would improve his PPR stock.
Houston Texans wide receiver Robert Woods (foot) missed practice for the second straight day this week on Thursday. Unless Woods is able to return to practice on Friday, he'll likely be ruled out for the Week 6 tilt against the New England Patriots. The 32-year-old veteran was also questionable last week with his foot injury but he ended up suiting up in the Week 5 win over the Buffalo Bills. However, he was not targeted at all in the 23-20 victory and played just 24 percent of the offensive snaps. Woods actually has more of a shot to make noise on offense with Nico Collins (hamstring) set to miss at least the next four games while on Injured Reserve, but it won't help if he's unable to play this weekend. If Woods ends up being inactive on Sunday, Xavier Hutchinson figures to serve as the WR3 for the Texans behind Stefon Diggs and Tank Dell. Avoid Woods even if he's active.
Houston Texans running back Dameon Pierce (hamstring) is officially inactive for Week 5 against the visiting Buffalo Bills on Sunday, while wide receiver Robert Woods (foot) is active. Pierce has been making progress with his hamstring injury in recent weeks, but he will now miss his fourth straight game after being injured in the Week 1 win over the Indianapolis Colts. With Joe Mixon (ankle) having already been ruled out, the Texans will once again roll with Cam Akers and Dare Ogunbowale in their backfield this weekend against a beat up Buffalo defense. Akers hasn't exactly impressed anyone the last two weeks with Mixon and Pierce out, but just from a volume standpoint alone, he's in play as an RB3/flex in Week 5. Woods shouldn't be on the radar for a starting fantasy spot on Sunday, especially with Tank Dell (chest) returning from a one-game absence. Woods has only three catches for 28 yards so far this year.
Houston Texans wide receiver Robert Woods (foot) is expected to suit up for the Week 5 matchup against the Buffalo Bills. The veteran wideout landed on the injury report this week with a foot issue. He sat out of Thursday's practice before getting in a limited session on Friday. Woods hasn't made much of an impact on the field this season. He has three receptions on five targets for 28 yards through four games. There aren't a ton of chances for Woods behind Nico Collins, Stefon Diggs, and Tank Dell in the receiving game. He won't be a viable fantasy option while the other three wideouts are healthy.
Houston Texans wide receiver Robert Woods (foot) popped up on the injury report this week on Thursday and was labeled as a DNP. Woods returned to practice in limited fashion on Friday but is now questionable to play in Week 5 against the visiting Buffalo Bills. The good news for Texans' receiving corps is that they are getting back second-year wideout Tank Dell (concussion) after he missed the Week 4 win over the division-rival Jacksonville Jaguars. With Dell sidelined last weekend, Woods caught just one of his three targets for 10 yards. He was not targeted at all in the first two weeks of the season and has only three catches (five targets) for 28 yards through the first four weeks of 2024. The 32-year-old veteran is buried too far down on Houston's receiver depth chart to make a difference in the vast majority of fantasy leagues.
