RB Zack Moss, CIN (1 Viewer)

In the best ball league I have him in I am deep at RB so can afford to hold him through this week's initial free agent bidding but another healthy scratch come Sun  am will have me pitching him overboard for the best player available at any position.

 
Bills head coach Sean McDermott said RB Zack Moss was inactive in Week 1 due to health concerns and that Moss has "looked good" in practice this week. 

Moss struggled through some August injuries and was a scratch for Buffalo's Week 1 loss to the Steelers. Devin Singletary played 75.2 percent of the Bills' offensive snaps and saw 11 carries for 72 yards and three catches for eight yards. Moss' return to the lineup will cap Singletary's usage in Week 2 against the Dolphins. Last year, Singletary averaged 8.7 rushing attempts and three targets per game when Moss was active. Both Singletary and Moss will be iffy RB3/4 options this week.

How many idiots that are not in extremely shallow leagues dropped him?
He wasn't any good. 3 YPC when Singletary was basically dominating earlier in the game- too many carries to Moss, not enough to Singletary. And Moss fumbled on top of that? 

2 TD's is really lucky- Josh Allen could've scored both of them.

He looks rosterable to me.

in any league I have ever been, starting RBs and viable backups are all rostered.  By that standard, it seems he should be rostered and may provide standalone flex value as the year goes on.

True, a real positional dearth in most leagues at RB. 

 
Zack Moss rushed 13 times for 60 yards, adding three catches for 31 yards and a touchdown in the Bills' Week 3 win over Washington.

Devin Singletary got the start, but Moss got more touches in both facets, out-carrying Singletary 13-11 and out-catching him 3-1. Moss was also the one who found paydirt, running in a short seven-yard touchdown reception early in the second quarter. It was an encouraging performance from Moss, but he's still difficult to trust on a weekly basis with Singletary also handling a significant amount of work.

 
Two productive weeks at a scarce position (where a lot of players are getting hurt and missing time) after all of the experts told you to drop him….

Starting him at RB2 over Javonte and Tyson (yikes). I also have Josh Allen so it's kind of a hedge.


Same, and have Allen as well. I just picked up Sanders this week on the wire. I think I might just rotate Moss and Sanders in my FLEX all year depending on how competitive I think the game will be. The Bills look like an offensive juggernaut.

 
What a comeback after being a healthy inactive after week one. Seems to have worked himself into a nice split plus he is getting goal line and been involved in the passing game.

Ditto on Allen in two leagues and now picking up pieces to go along with Buffalo. Going after Moss and a trade involving Diggs and Moss. I also picked up E Sanders in two leagues. I drank the Zack Moss juice last year and it never panned out consistently. Will Moss pan out this year for a Flex and potential low end RB 2 for a bye week?

 
This dude runs with SO much juice. Love the burst and power. Not a huge fan of his vision, but in this offense there will be gobs of RB fantasy points for whichever hippo proves hungriest. I like Singletary too and they will cancel one another to a degree, but Moss looks like a prime candidate for a major 2nd-yr breakout if he can add to the momentum he's built over the last two weeks. This weekend vs. creampuff Houston at home could be a huge breakout game for this wakening beast. IF you haven't seen the two TD runs against MIA a couple weeks ago, check them out: BEAST!

This will sound overblown (and probably is) but dude reminds me of poor man's Frank Gore. I think Gore had better vision but the burst, power and stature are what remind me of the Tank. I'm sure the Buffalo uniform is playing a role too.  :D

Moss vs. Gore

(Don't forget, Frank didn't fully break out until his 2nd yr. Maybe we see something similar this season from Moss, IF he can somehow take control of this backfield.)

 
Would you guys considering adding Zach Moss and dropping one of Kenny Gainwell or Tony Pollard. Other backs are Cook with Mattison as Handcuff and Elijah Mitchell right now. stacked at WR and QB mix and match at TE right now

I would roster Moss over Gainwell. He’s better than Singletary, and he should be solidifying the lead back role in the coming weeks. 

 
They’re both good and on a top 3 offense. Moss just seems to be the preferred back near the goal line. 


Yeah I just need a second back who can get my RB2 numbers at this point. I could've picked up Hubbard but I figured he's rendered useless when CMC comes back. I had drafted Moss late then dropped and no one seemed to want to pick him up in my league still

 
I’m kicking myself for not snagging him off waivers week 2. Go get him. He should have a decent floor with a high ceiling. Bills schedule is really nice next 3 weeks too.

Zack Moss rushed 14 times for 61 yards and a touchdown in Buffalo's Week 4 win over the Texans. 

Moss added a red zone target that Josh Allen rushed over his shoulders just a bit too quickly. Moss did dominate red zone carries over Devin Singletary, five to one, but was stuffed on a key third-and-1 at the Houston 3, forcing one of the many field goals for Buffalo. It looks like Moss is probably the more reliable option of the two at this point if only because of the red zone work, but the uncertainty leaves Moss stapled to RB3/FLEX territory. Even with a tempting Chiefs matchup next Sunday night.

 
I like Moss the rest of the way. If he gets consistent touches near the goal line on an explosive offense, he is a mid range #2RB

Feel the same way... and he's getting targets. I don't know why he's not getting any love from the pundits, and yet they slobber all over Chase Edmonds.

 
I'm hoping he can keep the pace up.  
I think this guy could be a genuine breakout for the rest of the season. He's seeing 15 touches per game and a lot of goal line looks on an explosive offense. If Singletary went down he could approach RB 1 numbers.

He wouldn’t necessarily even need a Singletary injury for that to happen. Look at the Bills upcoming schedule after the Chiefs game this week. Titans, dolphins, Jaguars, Jets, Colts.  The Bills should be winning a lot of these games—and if they are winning—they will want to utilize the run game to run down the clock.  I think their schedule dictates that there will be a significant amount of games where they will want to feature the run. 

 
His schedule is an absolute joke. He gets 10-15 touches a game. He gets targets. Hes the goal line back. What is there not to like? I picked him up for free but just traded him away for Tee Hggins. Hope I dont regret it. Main reason I traded him away was because I also own Allen and hate having QB+RB from same team.

I'm in the same boat. I'm just going to ride it out with Moss as my RB2 as long as it makes sense. My RBs are a mess after A Jones.

You hate getting points almost every time a good offense scores a TD?

 
I think Moss has genuine breakout potential given his schedule and the quality of this offense
I just traded away my RB2 and thinking about targeting Moss in a trade, as I’m now sort of weak at the RB2 position. 
 

I think I’ve concluded the owner to trade him, as he’s sort of a solid floor guy right now. But if he truly has the chance to get going, Now is probably the time to strike. Trying to establish what his value might be and what kind of WR2 with upside it might take to get him.

I just essentially traded Moss for Higgins

With his Cordarrelle-esque TD efficiency right now and solid touches, he would be difficult to pry off my roster. 12 team, super-flex redraft.

 
Yea,

I just traded Damien Williams to get him. I figured Williams has a limited window. Moss has the potential to be a major asset all season...If he continues in the right direction in this offense Moss is a legit #2 RB the rest of the way.

Well, offered a bevy of strong WR2s but the unexpectedly guy ended up wanting Sermon. So traded Sermon for Moss straight up. Feel like a big winner here based on potential and murkiness of that headache of a 49ers backfield. 
 

Hope this helps someone else establish value or ideas to get Moss if they are targeting him.

I think you stole Moss in that deal...I think I did ok long term dealing Williams for him.

I have both Sermon & Moss.

I am immediately sending offers of Sermon for anything based upon your post.  I figured he was untradeable.

 
I just traded Gallup and a 1st that's likely to be a mid to late pick for Moss and Bernard. 18-team .5ppr and my only RB seeing any carries has been Taylor. I lost Dobbins and Mostert and of course the waiver wire is void of anything in this league.

 
Zack Moss (concussion) was a participant in Thursday's practice, but was wearing a non-contact jersey.

It's a good step for Moss getting cleared ahead of Sunday's game. Friday's practice status will determine if Moss is on the optimistic or pessimistic side of questionable. If he plays, Moss would seem to have another fairly ideal matchup against a Jets run defense that got housed by Indianapolis multiple times on Thursday night.

NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reports Bills RB Zack Moss has cleared the concussion protocol. 

Moss shed his non-contact jersey in Friday's practice. Getting cleared of ahead of Week 10 means the Bills will have both of their running backs for Sunday's matchup with the Jets. Moss had five touches before exiting last week and projects for a near-even split with Devin Singletary. Both are RB2 plays against a Jets defense that's allowing the sixth most rushing yards in the league.

The Athletic's Joe Buscaglia said Zack Moss is "no threat" to Devin Singletary as Buffalo's lead back. 

Moss handled five carries for 39 yards in the Bills' Week 17 win against the Falcons, appearing "decisive, explosive and powerful," per Buscaglia. "He is their preferred second option behind Singletary, and with how he has run the ball over his past three games active, it’s clear that he’s put some of his midseason doldrums behind him," Buscaglia said. Moss, the team's preferred short yardage back when healthy, would slot in as the Bills' lead runner if Singletary gets dinged up in Week 18 or in the playoffs.

Zack Moss didn't touch the ball in the Bills' Divisional Round loss to the Chiefs.

Moss' second pro season finished with him seeing fewer carries (96) for fewer yards (345) after going 112-481-4 on the ground as a rookie. Moss again scored four touchdowns, and he upped his pass-game production with 23-197-1 on 32 targets. Moss, however, was a healthy scratch multiple weeks and carried the ball just one time in the playoffs. He fell way behind Devin Singletary as the season went on and even loss No. 2 duties to Matt Breida at one point. Moss isn't the future in the Buffalo backfield. The Bills could address the running back spot this offseason. Moss' dynasty value is at an all-time low.
