Colts place TE Jelani Woods (toe) on IR

https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/colts-te-jelani-woods-goes-on-ir-will-miss-second-straight-season

Aug 27, 2024 · 12:36 PM EDT

Colts tight end Jelani Woods will miss his second consecutive season.

Woods is going on season-ending injured reserve, according to TheAthletic.com.

Fantasy Impact:

Last year Woods missed the entire season with a hamstring injury. This year he’s out with a toe injury, the story said. There were high hopes for Woods this season as reports said he could take over the team's TE1 spot. The Colts will look to Granson, Alie-Cox or Ogletree will step up. Reports from earlier this summer said the Colts could use a lot of multiple-TE sets in 2024.

Colts TE Jelani Woods to miss "about four months"

Colts TE Jelani Woods underwent successful surgery today for turf toe and will miss about four months. The team is hopeful that Woods can return around Christmas in time for a playoff push.

Fantasy Impact:

The Colts TE carousel continues. This should theoretically open the door for someone else to receive a heightened target share, but it's not enough to aim for any of the other options in typical redraft leagues.

Colts TE Jelani Woods to have surgery on toe

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.

Jelani Woods winning the TE1 role with the Colts would be "best-case scenario"

James Boyd

The best-case scenario, in my opinion, would be if Jelani Woods puts together a huge training camp and earns the starting job. The 25-year-old missed all of last year due to repeated hamstring injuries and revamped his body this offseason in hopes of staying healthy. If Woods can remain on the field, he’s the one tight end on Indianapolis’ roster who has all of the physical tools to be a constant mismatch, while creating explosive plays and blocking well enough to stay on the field.

Fantasy Impact:

The Colts once again have a huge swath of tight ends on the roster, but we have to assume those names will be pared down by the 53-man roster cuts. Woods had a literal 10/10 RAS score while coming out of the 2022 NFL Draft, setting a record for the highest score out of the 997 tight ends who tested between 1987-2022. He can be a legit fantasy asset if he's the clear-cut TE1, and should be on streaming radars if that ends up being the case.
