Colts Beat: Team left TE1 role for Jelani Woods

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.
