Robert Woods Catches First Touchdown Of The Season
Robert Woods caught his first touchdown of the season in the team's 20-13 win over the New Orleans Saints in Week 6. Rookie quarterback C.J. Stroud connected with Woods for a six-yard score late in the second quarter to extend Houston's lead before the half. Despite that being his only grab of the day on three targets, the veteran wideout still leads the team with 43 targets. He'll head into the Week 7 bye with 22 catches for 227 yards and one touchdown.

Robert Woods Active For Divisional Round
Robert Woods (hip) is officially active for Saturday's playoff game against the Kansas City Chiefs. Woods was unable to practice all week due to a hip injury but was able to turn the corner in time to face the reigning champions. Last weekend, during their wild-card victory over the Los Angeles Chargers, Woods caught four of his two targets for 22 yards. Over his previous four contests, the veteran wideout has begun to find a role in the Houston passing attack with Tank Dell (knee) sidelined. During this stretch, he has seen 3.8 targets per game and has been deployed as the clear No.3 wideout on the depth chart. Woods is worth a look as a WR3 in DFS formats in this contest.

Robert Woods Questionable For Divisional Round
Robert Woods (hip) did not practice all week and is questionable to play in the Divisional Round of the postseason when the team takes on the Kansas City Chiefs on the road. While Woods still has a shot to suit up this weekend, the fact that he didn't practice at all puts the 32-year-old veteran on the wrong side of questionable. Not that fantasy managers were really considering him for their lineups anyway, but not having him would give quarterback C.J. Stroud one fewer option in the passing game as the Texans look to pull off a massive upset. Woods caught only two of four targets for 22 yards in last week's win over the Los Angeles Chargers and had a mere 20-203-0 line in 15 games during the regular season. If he's ruled out on Saturday, Xavier Hutchinson would be the WR3 for Houston behind Nico Collins and John Metchie III.

Robert Woods Misses Practice Again Wednesday
Robert Woods (hip) picked up another DNP on Wednesday. Woods has not yet practiced this week ahead of a Divisional Round game against the Kansas City Chiefs on Saturday. The 32-year-old Woods has been an important veteran piece for the Texans this season. He caught 30 passes for 203 yards during the regular season. He also returned 15 punts for 144 yards and five kickoffs for 144 yards. He has been an all-around steady contributor both offensively and on special teams. With the Texans' wide receiver room already thin, they cannot afford to drop more players due to injury. Additionally, the Texans just released wide receiver Diontae Johnson further depleting their depth. With only one day left this week to log practice reps, Woods' status is worth monitoring by Texans fans. The Texans will need all hands on deck to beat the two-time defending champion Chiefs this weekend.

Robert Woods Returns To Practice On Wednesday
Robert Woods (hip) is back on the practice field on Wednesday after missing Tuesday's session due to a hip injury. The 32-year-old caught two of his four targets for 22 yards in last week's AFC Wild Card win over the Los Angeles Chargers and is a significant contributor after season-ending knee injuries suffered by Stefon Diggs and Tank Dell. Woods is not one of the better wideouts in the NFL anymore, but he provides veteran leadership and dependability in Houston's up-and-down offense. His return to practice suggests he's trending toward facing the Kansas City Chiefs on Saturday, but he does not have much fantasy football or DFS upside.
