Despite being limited, Goff does enough to top Seahawks
Whether it was John Wolford’s inexperience or Jared Goff’s battered thumb under center the Seattle Seahawks should have had the advantageJANUARY 10, 2021 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Seals win with late TD Woods caught four of eight targets for 48 yards and a touchdown during Saturday's 30-20 win over the Seahawks.
Impact Woods began the game quite slowly as John Wolford (neck) struggled to push the ball down the field before leaving and Jared Goff (thumb) wasn't at his best amid a recovery from surgery. Woods was heavily targeted down the stretch, especially after Cooper Kupp (knee) left the game, and he salvaged his day from a fantasy perspective with a 15-yard touchdown reception to put the game away in the fourth quarter. Goff will have another week to heal ahead of the NFC divisional round matchup against either the Packers or the Buccaneers, and he could look Woods' way early and often if Kupp misses the contest.

Closes regular season with 36 yards Woods secured four of seven targets for 36 receiving yards during Sunday's 18-7 win against the Cardinals.
Impact Los Angeles presented a balanced passing attack with John Wolford stepping in at quarterback for the injured Jared Goff (thumb). There were five different Rams to post three or four receptions and 29-plus receiving yards Sunday afternoon, while most of Woods' production came from a 27-yard first-quarter reception deep down the right sideline. Even with Cooper Kupp out for Week 17 because of a reserve/COVID-19 list designation, Woods endured a quiet outing in the season finale. A wild-card matchup against the Seahawks will be challenging, with either Goff or Wolford under center. Seattle has held opponents under 240 passing yards in seven of its past eight games, surrendering the NFL's sixth-lowest total receiving yards to opposing WRs during that span.

Struggling offense puts LA Rams on brink of missing playoffs

Contributes 49 scrimmage yards Woods caught four of nine targets for 48 yards and gained one yard on two carries during Sunday's 20-9 loss to the Seahawks.
Impact The wideout finished second on the team in targets on the day but struggled to connect with Jared Goff (thumb), who continued a poor recent run of form. Woods did little of note outside of his long gain of 19 yards and is now averaging just 45.3 yards per game over the last three despite facing two of the most porous pass defenses in the NFL during that stretch. Woods is at an even 900 receiving yards for the season and will look to add to his numbers next Sunday in a favorable matchup against the Cardinals.

Scores sixth TD in Sunday's loss Woods caught six of eight targets for 56 yards and a touchdown and gained 40 yards on his only carry in Sunday's 23-20 loss to the Jets.
Impact He led the Rams in scrimmage yards on the afternoon, and his 15-yard TD grab in the third quarter kicked off a comeback attempt that ended up falling short. Woods now has six touchdowns on the year, tying his career high from 2018, and he's eight receptions away from tying the personal best of 90 he set last season. The veteran wideout will try to stay productive in Week 16 during a trip to Seattle that will likely decide the winner of the NFC West.

Good to go for Sunday Woods (thigh) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Jets, Kevin Modesti of the Los Angeles Daily News reports.
Impact Absent from practice to begin the week, Woods returned to the field Thursday as a limited participant Thursday before taking every rep at Friday's session. Woods shouldn't face any restrictions come Sunday, when he'll be taking on a suspect Jets pass defense that has allowed 12 touchdowns through the air over the past four weeks.

Upgrades to limited Thursday Woods (thigh) was listed as limited on Thursday's injury report, Lindsey Thiry of ESPN.com reports.
Impact After kicking off Week 15 prep as a non-participant at practice, Woods took an encouraging step with his upgrade to limited. According to coach Sean McVay, the Rams are taking this route as a precautionary measure with an injury that likely won't impact his availability for Sunday's game against the Jets. Still, Woods' status should continue to be monitored to make sure he's eventually cleared to play.

Dealing with thigh injury Coach Sean McVay said Woods (thigh) didn't take part in Wednesday's practice as a precautionary measure, Jourdan Rodrigue of The Athletic reports.
Impact Woods continues to be peppered with targets on a weekly basis, but he remains 204 yards short of a third consecutive 1,000-yard campaign. Now with a health concern to tend to, his practice reps may be capped all week to make sure he's set for Sunday's game versus the Jets. In fact, McVay doesn't believe Woods' thigh injury will impact his availability for Week 15.

With playoffs unlikely, fading Patriots have questions at QB
The New England Patriots' chances of making the playoffs already weren't that strong before they were trounced 24-3 by the Los Angeles RamsDECEMBER 11, 2020 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Modest yardage in win Woods secured five of eight targets for 32 yards in the Rams' 24-3 win over the Patriots on Thursday night. He also netted minus-1 yard on one carry.
Impact With Jared Goff throwing for just 137 yards on 25 pass attempts, Woods unsurprisingly had one of his quieter games of the campaign. The veteran receiver did tie Cooper Kupp for the team lead in receptions, but he checked in under the 40-yard mark for the sixth time in 13 games. Woods certainly has the talent to bounce back in any given week, however, and a Week 15 matchup against the vulnerable Jets secondary on Sunday, Dec. 20 could well prompt one of his stronger fantasy performances.
