Woods (hip) didn't practice Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
With back-to-back 'DNPs' Tuesday and Wednesday in the books, Thursday's session should loom large with regard to Woods' chances of playing in Saturday's divisional-round game against the Chiefs. If the veteran wideout is limited or out this weekend, added snaps behind top option Nico Collins would be freed up for John Metchie and Xavier Hutchinson.

Woods (hip) didn't participate in Tuesday's practice.
EDGE Analysis
Woods logged 51 percent of the offensive snaps in last Saturday's wild-card win over the Chargers, finishing with a 2-22-0 receiving line on four targets. With Woods dinged up and the Texans cutting Diontae Johnson earlier Tuesday, John Metchie and Xavier Hutchinson could be in line for even bigger roles behind Nico Collins in Saturday's divisional-round tilt against the Chiefs.

Woods caught two of four targets for 22 yards and returned one punt for 10 yards in Houston's 32-12 win over the Chargers in Saturday's wild-card round game.
EDGE Analysis
Woods was part of the Texans' top three wideouts, had a red-zone target, and was on the field for 37 snaps. That snap count tied him with John Metchie behind Nico Collins' 64. Largely an irrelevant figure on game days for much of the season, Woods' profile rose with the injuries to Stefon Diggs (knee) and Tank Dell (knee). The 35-year-old finished the regular season with career lows in catches (20) and yards (203) while never breaking out his touchdown dance for the first time in his 12 NFL seasons. He'll enter the offseason as an unrestricted free agent, and it's unlikely a team will sign him to be any more than a depth piece/returner at this stage of his career. Woods accepted his role as veteran mentor in Houston and could always return to the Texans.

Woods caught two of three targets for a team-high 39 yards in Sunday's 23-14 win over Tennessee in Week 18.
EDGE Analysis
Woods received extra playing time as the Texans limited Nico Collins in the regular-season finale. Houston heads into the postseason with season-ending injuries to key contributors at wide receiver -- Stefon Diggs (knee) and Tank Dell (knee) -- and an uncertain status for John Metchie (concussion). Whether Metchie is available or not for next Saturday's home playoff game against the Chargers, Woods will be part of the top three wideouts. The 32-year-old Woods finished the regular season with career lows in receptions (20), targets (30), yards (203) and catches of more than 20 yards (one).

Woods caught both of his targets for 21 yards in Wednesday's 31-2 loss to Baltimore in Week 17.
EDGE Analysis
Woods had the fourth-most snaps (21) among wide receivers, as the return of John Metchie from a shoulder injury pushed the 12-year veteran further down the depth chart. The Texans will operate without both Tank Dell (knee) and Stefon Diggs (knee) for the regular-season finale and through the postseason, when Woods' experience could be useful.

Woods caught three of six targets for 19 yards and returned one kickoff for 31 yards in Saturday's 27-19 loss to the Chiefs in Week 16.
EDGE Analysis
Woods was on the field for a season-high 34 offensive snaps, a bump in activity due to an injury to Tank Dell (kneecap). The Texans have clinched a playoff spot but will be without Stefon Diggs (knee) and potentially Dell in the postseason, which creates an opportunity for Woods. It should be noted that John Metchie (shoulder) was inactive for Saturday's game; he moved ahead of Woods on the depth chart as a result of the Diggs' injury in Week 8.

Woods caught both of his targets for 12 yards in Sunday's 20-12 win over Miami.
EDGE Analysis
Woods had the third-most snaps (24) among wide receivers, but his production was similar to previous weeks. After Nico Collins and Tank Dell, Woods is looking for leftovers along with John Metchie (21 snaps, four targets) and Xavier Hutchinson (eight, one). Woods has caught 13 of 19 targets on the season for 124 yards and zero touchdowns.

Woods did not catch his lone target in Sunday's 23-20 win over the Jaguars in Week 13. He returned two punts for 13 yards.
EDGE Analysis
Woods, who was on the field for 21 offensive snaps, continued to fill a depth role and has just two targets since Nico Collins returned from IR. As a returner, Woods leads the team with a combined 248 yards on punts (four returns) and kickoffs (14).

Woods caught his lone target for eight yards in Sunday's 32-27 loss to the Titans in Week 12. He also returned five punts for 24 yards.
EDGE Analysis
Woods, who received a slight bump in targets when injuries hit Houston's WR depth chart, was back to his normal volume in Nico Collins' second game back. Collins saw limited snaps when he returned to duty last week but saw a full workload Sunday, which put a crimp in Woods' usage. His main job these days is as a returner -- 235 returns yards vs. 112 receiving yards -- and he's behind John Metchie and competing with Xavier Hutchinson for fantasy relevancy.

Woods caught both of his targets for 13 yards in Monday's 34-10 win over the Cowboys. He also returned one kickoff for 21 yards.
EDGE Analysis
Woods continued to fill a depth role which affords him a couple of targets per game, although his snap count took a slight hit due to the return of Nico Collins. Since injuries to Houston wideouts started popping up in Week 6, Woods has seen an uptick in activity, although not a enough of a bump to spark fantasy interest. After missing two games himself as part of the injury wave, Woods has seven receptions on 10 targets for 76 yards while averaging 38 percent of the offensive snaps over the last four games.
