Who Should I Start? Jelani Woods or Quintin Morris

The Indianapolis Colts placed tight end Jelani Woods (toe) on season-ending Injured Reserve on Tuesday due to his recent toe surgery, according to a source. It's a tough break for Woods, who also missed all of the 2023 campaign due to hamstring issues. The 25-year-old specifically needed surgery to fix turf toe and won't be able to contribute for the Colts until 2025. The third-round pick in 2022 caught 25 of his 40 targets in his rookie season in 2022 for 312 yards and three touchdowns in 15 games (two starts). Woods was going to have more of a shot at an elevated role in Indy in 2024, but those opportunities will now most likely fall to Kylen Granson. However, Granson isn't really on the TE radar in standard 12-team leagues among a committee approach to the position in Indy that also includes names like Mo Alie-Cox, Drew Ogletree and Will Mallory.

Buffalo Bills tight end Quintin Morris (shoulder, groin) is officially questionable for Sunday's road tilt against the Los Angeles Rams. Morris logged full practices all of Week 13 despite tending to a shoulder issue, though the groin designation is new this week and caused him to be limited on Wednesday and Thursday. The 25-year-old got a good bit of run in Weeks 11 and 13 while fellow tight end Dalton Kincaid (knee) sat out with an ailing knee. Kincaid practiced in a limited fashion all week and is also deemed questionable for the contest. If the 25-year-old sits out again and Morris plays, he'll again operate as the team's second TE behind Dawson Knox. However, if neither Morris nor Kincaid can go, Knox will shoulder the load on his own.
