Broncos keep Woodyard: Wesley Woodyard agreed to a two-year deal with the Broncos on Monday. Woodyard, an undrafted free agent out of Kentucky in 2008, has played in at least 15 games in three of his four NFL seasons. He was a team captain the last two years and had 97 total tackles in 2011, per The Sports Xchange. Woodyard is the team's leader in special teams tackles since 2008. (Updated 03/20/2012)

Fantasy Analysis
Woodyard was a decent Fantasy reserve last season and low-end No. 3 LB in deeper formats. Figure him to remain there in 2012. (Updated 03/20/2012).
Wesley Woodyard had a breakout season in 2011 with the Broncos, and he was rewarded with a two-year contract extension this offseason. He had a career-high 97 total tackles (67 solo), but he had no sacks or turnovers and only two passes knocked down. Woodyard can obviously help in tackles, but he needs to produce in other areas to improve his Fantasy value. He should only be used in deeper IDP leagues as a low-end starter or as a bye-week replacement in standard formats. He should not be drafted in the majority of leagues. (Updated 4/25/12)
