Colts TE Jelani Woods to have surgery on toe

Aug 20, 2024

Jelani Woods is expected to undergo surgery on his toe, according to a source.

Related players: Kylen Granson, Mo Alie-Cox

Fantasy Impact:

There is no word on how long Woods will be out but it's a big blow to his fantasy stock. Woods was expected to grab the Colts TE1 job but had an up and down camp and never really stood out like he was expected to. Granson and Alie-Cox are up next and the Colts are expected to use several tight ends this year, according to a report from a few weeks ago, but it remains to be seen just who stands out for fantasy purposes.

Tee Higgins (hamstring) in street clothes today as #Bengals come out for practice.

Ja’Marr Chase out here all normal.

Fantasy Impact:

Iosivas was pegged for more work last week, but his team-leading 35 routes led to a 3-26-0 stat line. That should look better against the Chiefs, but is probably still not worth serious fantasy consideration. Higgins, on the other hand, would be a fringe WR3/4 if he ends up suiting up.

Browns HC Kevin Stefanski ruled out TE David Njoku for Sunday’s game at Jacksonville due to his ankle injury.

Fantasy Impact:

Bad look for the Browns offense, that can't use anymore distractions right now. Akins shouldn't be in streaming consideration unless you're in a very deep league.

The Steelers are planning to start QB Justin Fields vs the Broncos

Fantasy Impact:

Denver isn't the best matchup for quarterbacks, but we know what Fields can do with his legs when given the opportunity, so he is a fringe QB1 on the week for those in need.
