News: 4 days agoWoods secured six of nine targets for 74 yards in the Texans' 31-20 loss to the Colts on Sunday.

Spin: 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.

ESPN Fantasy Projection: Woods signed with the Texans after stops with the Bills, Rams and Titans during his 10 NFL seasons. The reliable veteran has managed a target share of at least 18% during all 10 seasons, but his 20% share last season was his lowest since 2016. Furthermore, Woods finished top 20 among WRs in fantasy PPG in all five seasons with the Rams, but he plummeted to 76th in Tennessee last season. Woods isn't much of a factor near the goal line (he has never caught more than six TDs in a season), and that doesn't figure to change in his age-31 campaign. Woods is likely headed for a situational role at this point in his career and this offense may have some growing pains with rookie QB C.J. Stroud under center. Woods is a low-ceiling, late-round option.
