Robert Woods left a lasting mark with the Rams during McVay’s run, delivering five peak seasons before a Buffalo stretch and a late-career arc back in LA. This offseason, a Steelers practice-squad stint ended in a release, and a possible Rams reunion would depend on roster moves and Woods’s willingness to take a prac-squad role. With Cooper Kupp, Atwell, and the Rams’ WR depth, Woods’s fantasy upside hinges on a 53-man comeback and how the passing game evolves in LA.

Fantasy managers should watch Woods’s situation closely, as OBJ and DeSean Jackson are cited examples of late-career moves that can ripple roster plans. If Woods signs with LA, he could become a depth piece or secondary option behind Kupp, but the path is narrow and opportunity-driven in a crowded WR corps and cap-era Rams.

Steelers practice squad reshuffle features three notable surprises: Robert Woods returns to the practice squad, Max Hurleman and Sebastian Castro are back on board, and DeMarvin Leal is kept over Eku Leota. The moves emphasize depth-building and a patient development plan as Pittsburgh gears up for the regular season.

Fantasy angles center on Woods providing veteran reliability if elevated, while Hurleman and Castro offer multi-position upside and special-teams value. Leal’s retention hints at a potential future surge, whereas Leota could have a larger impact elsewhere. The depth chart is taking shape ahead of Week 1.

Robert Woods was released by the Pittsburgh Steelers as the 53-man roster deadline loomed, leaving the WR depth chart thinner after the Pickens move. Woods had been in the mix behind Metcalf and Pickens, but a combination of preseason struggles and the rise of Scotty Miller, Roman Wilson, and Calvin Austin III sealed his fate. With Woods gone, Calvin Austin III looms as the immediate breakout candidate, while Scotty Miller and Wilson push for snaps as the Week 1 tilt against the Jets approaches.

The Jets game looms large as Pittsburgh pivots to game preparation with a thinner group, and Woods’ exit signals a shift in how fantasy managers should view the Steelers’ receiving corps. Expect early opportunities for the youngsters, with Woods aiming to latch on elsewhere, potentially reshaping waiver priorities for Baltimore’s and Cleveland’s add options later in the season.
