Colts Beat: Team left TE1 role for Jelani Woods

Indy Star

Jul 23 · 10:18 AM EDT

The Colts have left their top tight end role open to Jelani Woods, and if his offseason work to reshape his lower half can create a sustainable year, he could break out in the biggest of ways with a play designer like Shane Steichen and a downfield quarterback like Anthony Richardson in a run-heavy, play-action-heavy offense.

Fantasy Impact:

It's the second-straight day for Woods hype. On Monday, we reported the Colts could use a lot of three-TE sets this season, but it would be Woods who has the biggest upside and the potential to break out. As this story pointed out, it's not hard to picture Woods excelling on Steichen's tight end screens, in the run-pass-option game and up the seam when safeties commit to Michael Pittman Jr. Woods is just 29th on our TE list, and while he could climb as we get closer to drafts, it looks like he should be available late in fantasy drafts this year for those who want to take a chance on that breakout.

Colts Beat: Team likely to use three TE sets 'heavily' this season

Indy Star

Jul 22 · 4:07 PM EDT

Jelani Woods missed all of the 2023 season due to hamstring injuries, but he offers something none of the other tight ends have shown, an impressive size-speed combination that could make him a devastating downfield target.

Indianapolis will likely use at least three tight ends heavily on offense this season.

Related players: Michael Pittman Jr., Josh Downs, Adonai Mitchell, Alec Pierce, Kylen Granson, Mo Alie-Cox, Drew Ogletree, Will Mallory, Anthony Richardson, Jonathan Taylor

Fantasy Impact:

Pittman and Downs are the team's top-two WRs with rookie Mitchell and Pierce also battling it out for time. Granson led the way at TE last year but as the story said Woods has the potential to bust out. The use of three TEs certainly indicates the Colts are going to be run-heavy this season. However, any of the team's TEs could be passing options as well in that formation, so the situation is worth monitoring this summer.
