Robert Woods Week 15 Outlook - Texans at Colts

By Mike Tagliere (FantasyPros), Wed, Dec 16th 2020, 8:49am EST

We can be mad at the fantasy outcome (8.1 PPR points) out of Woods last week, but we can't be mad about the role he played in the offense. He saw eight of Goff's 25 pass attempts for a 32.0 percent target share. Over their last four games, Woods has been holding steady with a 29.9 percent target share, which is phenomenal. If he were to have had that pace all year long, he would've finished with 175 targets. Again, sometimes the results won't match the volume, but you have to keep rolling him out there, especially in a matchup like the one he has this week. The Jets have allowed a massive 345 completions to their opponents this year, which ranks as the second-most in the league. You might hear some say that the Jets lack of competence will limit upside, but the counterpoint to that would be that wide receivers have averaged 41.5 PPR points per game (6th-most) against them, and the Jets have been incompetent all season long. The average number of points it took to finish as a WR1 in 2019 was 19.7 PPR points, a number that eight wide receivers have hit against the Jets, which is the fifth-most in the league. The downside is that teams have chosen to run the ball once in the red zone, and that's evidenced by the minuscule 22 red zone targets for wide receivers (3rd-fewest) against them. You should have Woods in lineups as a low-end WR1/high-end WR2 this week.
