NFL odds Week 3: Wacky wins and bad beats
'He had a movie moment': Colts rookie Jelani Woods has a dream Lucas Oil debut He once was a kid in Atlanta admiring Matt Ryan. On Sunday, he was making the biggest catch of the day from the quarterback.
SEPTEMBER 26, 2022 • THEATHLETIC.COM
Two touchdowns in win Woods brought in two of three targets for 13 yards and two touchdowns in the Colts' 20-17 win over the Chiefs on Sunday.
Impact The rookie was the surprise target on both of Matt Ryan's touchdown tosses, recording one- and 12-yard grabs in the first and fourth quarters, respectively. Woods had yet to see a target prior to Sunday, so despite the surprising fantasy performance Sunday, it's difficult to project what his role might be in a Week 4 home divisional clash against the Titans.

Impresses during practice Thursday Woods turned in a strong effort during Thursday's practice, Kevin Bowen of 107.5 The Fan Indianapolis reports
Impact Woods also caught two passes for 22 yards and a touchdown during Saturday's preseason opener after he reportedly struggled during the early phases of training camp, per Zak Keefer of The Athletic. However, the rookie third-round pick could be poised to move into a larger receiving role this season after fellow tight end Andrew Ogletree suffered a season-ending torn ACL during Indianapolis' joint practice with the Lions on Wednesday. Woods' size (6-foot-7, 253 pounds) and athleticism (4.59-second 40-yard dash) should make him an intriguing pass-catching threat, though he's still currently set to operate in a reserve role behind two more experienced tight ends in Mo Alie-Cox and Kylen Granson.

The Indianapolis Star Jelani Woods is living the steep learning curve that comes to rookie tight ends. But plays like he made in the preseason opener offer hope.
AUGUST 15, 2022 • INDYSTAR.COM
TD catch in preseason debut Woods had two receptions for 22 yards on two targets, including an 11-yard touchdown, in Saturday's preseason loss to Buffalo.
Impact Woods had reportedly struggled in training camp and many observers saw him falling behind fellow rookie Drew Ogletree to No. 4 on the tight end depth chart, so this was a nice bounce back performance. Woods performed well with the second-team unit and showed his 6-7 size can make him a red zone threat. The third-round draft pick will likely have a small role in the offense to begin the season as he continues to develop.

Struggling early in camp Woods has "looked lost at times" during training camp and is "probably coming a long a little slower" than the Colts expected, Zak Keefer of The Athletic reports.
Impact Keefer also notes that 2021 fourth-round pick Kylen Granson has struggled, leaving Mo Alie-Cox as Indy's only reliable tight end at the moment. Alie-Cox is one of the biggest TEs in the league and has already proven himself as a blocker and red-zone target, but he may not have the agility or route-running skills the team desires for obvious passing situations. Even so, Alie-Cox remains the best redraft bet of the bunch, and he may default into a three-down role if the team's young tight ends don't shape up. Woods is a rookie third-round pick who has Cox beat in terms of height (6-foot-7 vs. 6-foot-5) and speed (4.59-second 40-yard dash time vs. 4.75), while the veteran has the benefit of experience and a much sturdier build (listed at 267 pounds, compared to Woods' 253).

Scooped by Indy The Colts selected Woods in the third round of the 2022 NFL Draft, 73rd overall.
Impact Woods becomes the second tight end off the board in this class. His size jumps off the page at 6-foot-7 and 259 pounds with 34.5-inch arms but he can move, too. Woods ran an impressive 4.61 in the 40-yard dash at the combine and the film showed good movement skills for a player his size. He blossomed in the Virginia offense in 2021 after transferring over from Oklahoma State, catching 44 of 70 targets for 598 yards and eight touchdowns. Indianapolis invested a pick at tight end last year in Kylen Granson, though, so this is an interesting landing spot. With Jack Doyle's retirement, there's a path to Woods finding a role eventually, but Mo Alie-Cox and Granson project to be higher on the depth chart this season.
