Woods (knee) recorded seven catches on 18 targets for 65 yards over five appearances during the 2024 season. All of Woods' playing time came during a five-week stretch between Weeks 12 and 17, before a knee injury prevented him from suiting up for the season finale. He often served as the third wideout in those contests, though he likely would have fallen further in the pecking order had Cedric Tillman (concussion) and/or David Bell (hip) been available.

Woods (knee) recorded seven catches on 18 targets for 65 yards over five appearances during the 2024 season. All of Woods' playing time came during a five-week stretch between Weeks 12 and 17, before a knee injury prevented him from suiting up for the season finale. He often served as the third wideout in those contests, though he likely would have fallen further in the pecking order had Cedric Tillman (concussion) and/or David Bell (hip) been available.
Woods (knee) is inactive for Saturday's game against the Ravens. Woods approached Saturday's contest listed as questionable after being deemed a limited practice participant Tuesday through Thursday. In his absence in Cleveland's season finale, Jamari Thrash, James Proche and Kaden Davis are candidates to see added wideout snaps behind Jerry Jeudy and Elijah Moore.
Woods (knee) is listed as questionable for Saturday's game at Baltimore. Woods was a limited practice participant throughout the week after he emerged from this past Sunday's 20-3 loss to the Dolphins with the knee injury. If Woods is cleared to play Saturday, he would likely operate as the Browns' No. 3 wideout behind Jerry Jeudy and Elijah Moore.
Woods was listed as a limited participant in Tuesday's walk-through practice due to a knee injury, Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports. Woods is nursing the knee injury coming out of the Browns' 20-3 loss to the Dolphins this past Sunday, when he played 68 of 79 snaps on offense en route to finishing with a three-yard reception across four targets. If he's able to move past the knee issue in time for Saturday's season finale in Baltimore, Woods should once again be in line for a top-three role at receiver after the Browns placed Cedric Tillman (concussion) on injured reserve Tuesday.
Woods caught one of three targets for three yards in Sunday's 20-3 loss to the Dolphins. Woods was on the field for 86 percent of the offensive snaps, but once again, the playing time didn't translate into meaningful production. Since being signed to the active roster five games ago, Woods has operated as the de facto third wideout and played 83.1 percent of the snaps, but he has just seven catches on 18 targets for 65 yards.
Woods did not record a catch on three targets in Sunday's 24-6 loss to the Bengals in Week 16. Woods has operated as the No. 3 wideout the last four weeks, but there are limitations to his fantasy viability given Cleveland's unsteady quarterback play. He's caught six passes on 14 targets for 62 yards during his spike in playing time. His increase in snap count is directly related to Cedric Tillman (concussion) being unavailable. Whether Tillman eventually returns or not, Woods will audition over the final two weeks for a spot on what is expected to be an overhauled roster in 2025.
Woods caught two of three targets for seven yards in Sunday's 21-7 loss to Kansas City in Week 15. Woods was once again elevated to No. 3 wideout as Cedric Tillman (concussion) was inactive, and he played 100 percent of the offensive snaps. All that activity didn't translate into meaningful production for Woods, who's been targeted 11 times (once in the red zone) in three weeks as Tillman's replacement. The Browns benched starting quarterback Jameis Winston and may have Dorian Thompson-Robinson start the final three weeks, which could alter the target distribution beginning in Week 16 at Cincinnati.
Woods should maintain his role as the third wide receiver Sunday against the Chiefs, as Cedric Tillman has been ruled out. Woods has eight targets and played 81.6 percent of the offensive snaps over the last two weeks while filling in for Tillman. Prior to his concussion, Tillman generated 44 targets and three touchdowns over five games, so the third wide receiver carries potential in a Jameis Winston-led offense. Cleveland hopes to use a more balanced run/pass ratio Sunday and minimize the opportunities for the Chiefs' offense; however, the Browns often play from behind and Winston has averaged 43.2 attempts per game over the last six weeks.
Woods caught one of three targets for 12 yards in Sunday's 27-14 loss to the Steelers in Week 14. He was elevated to the active roster for a second consecutive game, as Cedric Tillman (concussion) was inactive once again. Woods' 63 snaps were third among all pass-catchers, behind only Jerry Jeudy and David Njoku. Woods has four catches on eight targets for 55 yards in his two appearances.
