ROBERT WOODS

Robert Woods is heading to the Texans. Houston struck a two-year, $15.25 million deal to bring in the veteran wide receiver on Friday afternoon, according to the NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport. Sources: Former #Titans and #Rams WR Robert Woods is signing with the #Texans, adding a veteran presence to a young team. Woods was traded to the Titans by the Rams for a draft pick last May, ending a five-year run in Los Angeles. Though the 30-year-old struggled last year, he should be a valuable target for a Texans team that needs a new quarterback.

As the 2023 free agency period draws nearer, teams are beginning to release expensive or underperforming players to open up salary cap space before the start of the new league year. Releasing Dupree saves the Titans $9.35 million but comes with a dead cap hit of $10.85 million, per Over the Cap. Titans cut OL Taylor LewanLewan was the first of many surprise veteran cuts by the Titans this offseason. He saved the team $12.01 million in salary cap with a dead cap hit of $2.59 million. That move saved the team $9.5 million, but will come with a $1.93 million dead cap hit.

Can we finally start Tony Pollard.

Perhaps you’ll add a player to your fantasy bench as depth, but won't deploy him this week. Zach Wilson vs. DolphinsFor most of Wilson's 2022 debut, he was awful at Pittsburgh. The Miami defense is backwards when it comes to modern scheme — the Dolphins stuff the run (fourth in run DVOA) but give it away against the pass (31st in pass DVOA). He’s run pure in the touchdown column, scoring four times on 12 catches, and also has a kick return for a score. Toney isn’t playable in fantasy for Week 5, but he’s worth stashing in medium and deep leagues.
