The Man With No Name

(FantasyPros) According to NFL Network's Tom Pelissero, TE Andrew Ogletree, who had been a camp standout for the Indianapolis Colts, has torn his ACL. Analysis: Ogletree was a sixth-round draft pick out of Youngstown State where he had 28 catches for 282 yards as a senior. Ogletree was pushing for playing time in a deep Colts tight end room, but an ACL tear will effectively end his rookie season before it even begins.

Indeed. While the question "start him" is totally meaningless, there is no way that grateful doesn't have a better option this week. Heck, probably better options on waivers in all but the deepest of deep dynasty leagues for a week 4 start.

all this guy does is catch touchdowns.

And it starts with getting him on the field! His current snap count just isn’t enough imo.

Jelani Woods is going to be a menace to defenses for a long time. Big, fast, athletic TE. Colts need to find ways to get him the ball.

How many times do I see statements like this and it never happens? Gotta get him the ball more! Starting to wonder how many coaches are truly clueless in the league.

Now is not the right time for Woods. He's going to be good in the future, but who will be the QB? Those wanting to play him now are putting the cart before the horse. Ali-Cox and Granson are capable also.

Was more of a general statement about things I've seen said continually over the years. Woods not playing a ton 4 weeks into his career isn't a big deal.

Ok. So this guy has some flash games earlier then seem to be lost in the shuffle of the coaching changes. Is he someone Saturday likes? They sure fed him tonight and he delivered. 8-98 on 9 targets. I wonder with Jeff Saturday as coach it's as simple as guy produces, get him the ball more.

What were the stats of the other Receivers for Indy last night?
Pittman
Campbell
Pierce
How often is Jelani Woods going to be the top WR/TE in targets, rec and yds in the same night?
I'm just thinking redrafts and the next several weeks
Dynasty would be totally different discussion, Indy likely to have a new QB next season
Luck-Rivers-Wentz-Ryan...who's next?

He looks like he runs about a 5.5 forty, but a load to bring down.

He does have a lumbering gate. Loved Brett Kohlmann’s predraft assessment “this is what a pissed off moose would look like if you put them in pads.”

Well he is only a rookie at a challenging position but they have been talking him up all year and he has flashed in a couple of spots before the other night. Hard to imagine he hasn't earned the job moving forward in terms of targets.

I was only judging based on the above highlights. Maybe he packed on a freshman 15 but he seemed a little on the slower side of 4.6.
Colts have had a few good games out Woods and Allie-Cox this year. But then nothing after that. Hard to get excited
massraider
Footballguy
He didn't look fast in college either.
That's nice he ran a 4.6, but going by his game in the NFL, he's a slow tight end.

I'd hold my breath on Jelani Woods doing anything impactful in Week 13. The ferocious Cowboys defense is playing with 100% effort for 100% of the snaps. No matter the score, they don't take their foot off the gas. Provided they can hold their own against JTaylor, I can't see how they don't absolutely slaughter Matt Ryan this week in Dallas. He could log a career-worst performance if he even lasts the whole game, without getting badly hurt, IMHO. That is a bad, bad matchup.

HIGHLIGHT | Jelani Woods treats would-be tacklers like turnstiles on 33-yard gain
Indianapolis Colts tight end Jelani Woods treats would-be tacklers like turnstiles on 33-yard gain.
I think he's flashed his athleticism.
The steelers game, he mostly caught contested balls and got tackled immediately.
Every Jelani Woods catch vs. Steelers Week 12
Watch every Indianapolis Colts tight end Jelani Woods play against the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 12.
I think he's a work in progress but I personally see him as a high risk high reward te prospect with elite potential who is really raw.

Also just looked at his college highlights. Remember he was new to the position when you watch. He did a lot of te drag routes where he's jogging behind the line of scrimmage facing his quarterback. Of course that looks slow. That's not an NFL quality route.
But when you see him get a head of steam he looks plenty fast to me.
I think what you're seeing is that he is fast enough to make contested catches but he hasn't learned how to get open and make a catch while on the run. I agree with you that for this year he's playing like a slow tight end but that's not the same as being slow. As a dynasty prospect I see him learning the position over the next few years and the sky is the limit on his potential. For this year in redraft... he's replacement level.

Jelani Woods (shoulder/quad) did not practice Wednesday.
Advice: Hot off a breakout performance of eight catches for 98 yards, Woods now has a quad issue on top of the shoulder injury he was already playing through. He was on the field for the Colts' final drive of Week 12, so his absence from practice may be nothing more than maintenance. His status for the Colts' practices on Thursday and Friday will be important to monitor.
ETA:

Kylen Granson (illness) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice.
Advice: While Granson was sidelined because of an illness last week, Jelani Woods was busy posting the best receiving line of any Indy tight end this season. He caught eight balls for 98 yards, both of which led the team. Granson will, at best, return to a part-time role this week. He is not on the fantasy radar for Week 13.

Woods (shoulder/quad) is listed as a non-participant on Wednesday's practice report.
ANALYSIS
The report is an estimation, as the Colts merely held a walkthrough two days after losing to the Steelers on Monday Night Football. Woods was the star of the night for Indianapolis with eight catches for 98 yards on nine targets, though he apparently added a quad injury to the shoulder issue that caused him to miss the previous game.
His big outing Monday came with fellow tight end Kylen Granson sidelined by an illness, and it's possible Woods sees his role diminished now that he's the least healthy of Indy's TE trio (Mo Alie-Cox being the third). On the other hand, Granson hasn't done a whole lot while getting most of the TE snaps in obvious passing situations this year, and Woods is a third-round rookie with 4.61 speed who just threatened 100 yards. He'll need to prove his health, of course, before he can attempt to build on the breakout performance Sunday night in Dallas.

Traded him away for a minor future pick upgrade a few days ago. Would have liked to keep him but roster cutdowns will likely be brutal so just took what I could, like the player but can't justify the hold

ive seen him surprisingly high on some dynasty rankings.

The potential alone he should have a decent ranking. Is a monster physically without much talent in front of him and in my opinion colts are going to be a good offense with Richardson at the helmive seen him surprisingly high on some dynasty rankings.
