Over the past five seasons, Robert Woods has finished among the top 20 receivers in fantasy points per game in PPR formats. While Woods has failed to eclipse 1,000 receiving yards in consecutive seasons after posting back-to-back 1,000-plus receiving yard outputs in 2018-19, as long as he's on the field healthy, he's a factor in fantasy football.
While he wasn't making plays during the Rams' Super Bowl LVI run, he played a big part in the Rams' return to relevancy. A midseason left ACL injury ended Woods' season in '21, and he's since been dealt to the Titans.
Below, we'll dive a bit deeper into Wood's fantasy outlook for 2022 and try to figure out if he's worth drafting at his current ADP.

Woods suffered a torn left ACL in practice last November and missed the remainder of the 2021 season. Given he sustained an ACL tear in mid-November, he's on track to suit up for the Titans in Week 1. Woods is back running routes in game-like situations during the Titans' training camp without a knee brace.

It's unknown if Woods will play in any of Tennessee's preseason games, but even if he remains on the sidelines for the next two weeks, expect the nine-year vet to be on the field for Week 1.

SN Fantasy has Robert Woods as the No. 33 wide receiver in PPR formats and standard scoring formats. Woods has remained fairly healthy outside of his recent ACL tear, as he's logged at least 15 games in three of the past four seasons.
Wood’s ADP currently sits at No. 102 per FantasyPros. Given the lack of overall talent in Tennessee's WR room relative to other teams, Woods could certainly turn into an ADP bargain if he becomes the Titans' go-to receiving option.

Woods has a real chance to become Ryan Tannehill's No. 1 option in the passing game following the departures of A.J. Brown and Julio Jones. Brown was seeing just over eight targets per game last year, which is likely a baseline for Woods. During his best year with L.A. (2019), Woods saw 9.3 targets/game. Last year, he received 7.7. Given he's back close to full health, expect Woods to be on the field for almost every offensive snap the Titans take.
2022 FANTASY SLEEPERS: QBs | RBs | WRs | TEs | D/STs | One from each team
Woods logged a 93.7-percent snap share in 2021, which ranked second among all WRs. He's not a guy who comes in just for passing downs, as he's a solid run blocker, as well. His ability to play all over the field can lead to a respectable fantasy season in 2022.

His upside could be capped now that he's not running routes in Sean McVay's offense, but on the flipside, there's way less competition for targets in Tennessee. If you have the chance to draft Woods in the middle rounds, go for it, as he's produced at a high level for several seasons. If his ACL injury isn't holding him back, he can be an every-week WR2/3 play in both standard and PPR formats.
