2024 Fantasy Outlook
Woods had a promising rookie season in 2022, catching 25 of 40 targets for 312 yards and three touchdowns, which was enough for at least a share of the team lead among tight ends in both categories. He didn’t get a chance to build on that campaign last year, sitting out the entire 2023 season due to a hamstring injury. In Woods’ absence, four Colts tight ends had between 147 and 368 receiving yards, and that group combined to score six touchdowns. All of those players are still around to compete for playing time in 2024, but Woods’ 6-foot-7, 253-pound frame gives him the highest red-zone ceiling of the group, and he’s reportedly healthy heading into training camp.

Taking part in OTAs
Woods (hamstring) is participating in Wednesday's OTAs, James Boyd of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Woods looks to be back to full health after injuries to both hamstrings cost him the entire 2023 season. The 2022 third-round pick showed some promise as a rookie, so if he can put together a solid offseason and build up chemistry with second-year quarterback Anthony Richardson, Woods could be a post-hype sleeper to target late in 2024 fantasy drafts, especially in dynasty formats or leagues that feature premium scoring for tight ends.

DraftKings offers the best value for stacking Jayden Daniels and Terry McLaurin, while Drafters and Underdog tend to have top running backs available at later ADPs.

The NFL offseason may still have a blockbuster trade to come, with the top candidates at this point being Davante Adams and Brandon Aiyuk.

Jelani Woods missed 2023 due to injury, but he could be a dangerous seam threat as safeties crash downward to defend Indy's dominant rushing attack.
Past Fantasy Outlooks
2023
2022
Woods showed promise last season as a rookie with 25 receptions on 40 targets for 312 yards and three touchdowns. After posting eight receptions for 98 yards in Week 12, it looked like he might even take over the top spot at tight end. However, he had just 10 receptions for 135 yards over the final five games. His late-season disappearance was in part due to shaky quarterback play but also due to the Colts continuing to divide up targets between Woods, Mo Alie-Cox and Kylen Granson. Woods showed enough of a spark that perhaps the team can make him more of a focus in 2023, but the Colts took another tight end in the 2023 draft in fifth-rounder Will Mallory.

Big role in Colts offense?
In his list of breakout tight end candidates for 2024, Jake Ciely of The Athletic believes Woods could carve a significant role for himself in the passing game.
ANALYSIS
After a promising rookie campaign in 2022 that saw Woods accumulate 25 catches for 312 yards and three touchdowns, he missed the entire 2023 season due to injuries to both hamstrings. Woods will have to compete with wide receivers Michael Pittman, Josh Downs and rookie Adonai Mitchell for targets from second-year quarterback Anthony Richardson. However, Ciely points out that Woods' 6-foot-7 frame creates matchup nightmares for opposing defenses, and the tight end will be particularly lethal in the red zone and short-yardage situations.
