Robert Woods signed with the Los Angeles Rams in the offseason after a nondescript four years with the Buffalo Bills. He was widely expected to be a complementary piece, especially after the Rams traded for his old Bills teammate, Sammy Watkins, in the preseason.

Instead, Woods emerged as the best weapon for Jared Goff and enjoyed a breakout season in 2017. He had 47 catches for 703 yards and four touchdowns in ten games, before suffering a shoulder injury against the Minnesota Vikings in Week 11. Woods missed the past three games with the injury.
Fantasy impact: Woods is on track to make his return against the Seattle Seahawks this week, which is good news for fantasy owners who patiently left him on their bench. When these teams met in Week 5, Woods managed 66 yards on five catches against the Seahawks, whose defense has since lost Richard Sherman and Kam Chancellor (Bobby Wagner is also questionable this week).
If Woods is ready to go and doesn’t have any setbacks, fire him up as a WR3 for the fantasy playoffs.
Recommendation: Start
