Robert Woods-Buffalo Bills

The Bills have spent high draft picks on wide receivers in recent drafts, but there are calls to bring in more talent this offseason after Buffalo lost Percy Harvin to the IR ending his season and likely his time with the Bills. While Sammy Watkins is expected to return today along with starting QB Tyrod Taylor, there should still be plenty of work for Robert Woods who will draw the start across from Watkins

Taylor has spread the ball around well in his time under center for Buffalo and Woods should be involved in the passing game against Miami this afternoon. In London, before the team’s bye week, Woods was targeted a team-high 13 times and also led the team in catches and receiving yards hauling in nine passes for 84 yards and a touchdown. While it was by far his best game of the season, Woods has drawn at least five targets in four of his last five games and has at least 30 yards in five of his last six.

Watkins return will probably cut into the workload he had in that game, but I still expect the third-year receiver out of USC to be extremely involved. Woods is a nice pickup in the almost 90% of ESPN leagues where he is available or in daily fantasy football where he brings some serious value (3,500 on DraftKings and 4,900 on FanDuel). If you can get Woods he’s on of my wide receiver sleepers that has the highest floor since he should definitely give you something today.
