  • Zack Moss has generated +168 rushing yards over expected this season, 2nd-most among RBs

    Updated Wed, Nov 29 at 4:29pm
  • Poised for lead role in Week 13

    Moss is expected to serve as the Colts' lead back for at least Sunday's game against the Titans after team owner Jim Irsay said Jonathan Taylor would undergo thumb surgery Wednesday, James Boyd of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Taylor opened the season on the PUP list as he completed his recovery from January ankle surgery, and Moss served as Indianapolis' lead back from Weeks 2 through 4, compiling 280 yards and a touchdown on 66 carries to go with six receptions on eight targets for 42 yards and another score. The two then worked in a near-even timeshare over the ensuing three games following Taylor's return in Week 5, but Moss had since faded into a supporting role. With Irsay noting that Taylor is expected to miss…read more

  • Compiles 70 total yards in win

    Moss rushed eight times for 55 yards and brought in two of three targets for 15 yards in the Colts' 27-20 win over the Buccaneers on Sunday.

    Analysis: Despite Jonathan Taylor logging 15 rush attempts, Moss retained a solid complementary role and encouragingly had a modest share of passing game work as well. The fourth-year pro had recorded just eight total carries and zero targets in the last two games before the Colts' Week 11 bye, so his resurgence Sunday was certainly a welcome sight for those still holding onto Moss in deep formats. It remains to be seen if he'll be afforded a similar workload in a Week 13 road matchup against the Titans.

  • Eliminated from offense

    Moss rushed the ball once for two yards in Sunday's 10-6 win over the Patriots.

    Analysis: Moss had slowly seen his role in the offense decline as Jonathan Taylor ramped back up after returning from an ankle injury. Sunday appeared to complete that process, as he saw only one touch as opposed to Taylor's 23. After an excellent start to the campaign, it appears that Moss has slipped into a true backup role.

  • Makes little impact in Week 9

    Moss carried the ball seven times for 26 yards in Sunday's 27-13 win over the Panthers.

    Analysis: The fourth-year running back produced his lowest yardage total and touch volume of the season, as the Colts didn't need to get much production from their offense on a day when the defense scored two touchdowns on interception returns. Moss's role has dwindled since Jonathan Taylor rejoined the team, but he'd still seen at least 12 touches in every game the duo was together in the Indy backfield prior to Sunday. Moss could resume his usual workload in Week 10 in what figures to be a more…read more

  • Continues producing in loss

    Moss rushed 11 times for 66 yards and a touchdown and brought in his only target for eight yards in the Colts' 38-27 loss to the Saints on Sunday.

    Analysis: Moss logged only one fewer carry than Jonathan Taylor, and both backs surprisingly found plenty of running room against the Saints' typically stout defense. Moss also scored his fourth touchdown in the last three games on a one-yard rush in the second quarter, making it a highly efficient afternoon. Moss figures to continue operating in a nearly even timeshare with Taylor on the road in a favorable matchup against the Panthers in Week 9.

  • Suiting up Sunday

    Moss (heel/elbow) is active for Sunday's game against the Saints.

    Analysis: Listed as questionable heading into Sunday and considered a game-time decision leading up to the 1 p.m. ET kickoff, Moss has received the green light to suit up after coming out of a pregame warmup no worse for wear. Though he has handled snap shares ranging between 49 and 80 percent in each of the Colts' three games since Jonathan Taylor made his season debut Week 5, Moss could take more of a back seat to Indianapolis' top back while the former plays Sunday at less than 100 percent health.…read more

  • True game-time decision

    Moss (elbow/heel), who is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Saints, will see how his foot feels during pregame warmups before the Colts make a determination on his status, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

    Analysis: Moss failed to practice Wednesday and Friday while turning in a limited session Thursday. Of the two injuries, his heel seems to be the bigger issue, as Schefter specifically noted that Moss wants to see how his foot feels when pushing off. Moss's status is particularly noteworthy to Jonathan Taylor, who could see his first full workload of the campaign if Moss is inactive.

  • Questionable after missed practice

    Moss (elbow/heel) didn't practice Friday and is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Saints.

    Analysis: Moss sandwiched a pair of absences from practices around Thursday's limited session. Even if he suits up Sunday against a Saints defense that's allowing just 98.7 rushing yards per game, Moss could see a workload reduction after he and Jonathan Taylor operated in a near-even split of the backfield snaps over the previous two weeks. Taylor had been expected to gradually take over the lead role, and Moss's injuries could speed up that process.

  • Logs limited practice

    Moss (elbow/heel) was a limited practice participant Thursday.

    Analysis: After missing Wednesday's practice, Moss's return to a limited session Thursday has him trending in a positive direction ahead of Sunday's game against the Saints. Friday's practice report will reveal whether Moss upgrades to full participation, and if he does, he'll likely avoid taking an injury designation into Sunday.

  • Back at practice

    Moss (elbow/heel) returned to practice Thursday, James Boyd of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Moss missed Wednesday's session, but his return to the field Thursday bodes well for his chances of being available for Sunday's game against the Saints. The Colts' upcoming injury report will reveal Moss's participation level, but he likely will need to practice fully by Friday in order to avoid a Week 8 injury designation.

  • Nursing two injuries

    Moss didn't practice Wednesday due to elbow and heel injuries, James Boyd of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Moss's absence to begin Week 8 prep makes his status for Sunday's game against the Saints worth tracking. Both Moss and Jonathan Taylor logged 35 snaps on offense and 18 carries in this past weekend's 39-38 loss to the Browns, but Moss's injury could pave the way for Taylor to stake a claim to the majority of the work out of the backfield now that he'll be making his fourth appearance following a four-week stint on the PUP list to open the campaign. It's possible, however, that Moss received a…read more

  • Not at practice

    Moss isn't practicing Wednesday, James Boyd of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Moss and Jonathan Taylor worked in a near-even split for the second straight week in Sunday's 39-38 loss to the Browns. The distribution of the snaps and touches between the two backs may look different this Sunday against New Orleans, however, with Taylor coming off his best game of the season (120 total yards) and Moss perhaps nursing an injury. The Colts will release their first official Week 8 injury report later Wednesday, when an explanation for Moss's absence will be provided.

  • Sticks in even split

    Moss rushed the ball 18 times for 57 yards in Sunday's 39-38 loss to the Browns. He added one reception for five yards.

    Analysis: Moss remained in a near-even split, as Jonathan Taylor out-touched him only due to work in the receiving game. However, for the second consecutive week, Moss's efficiency lagged as he's combined to pick up only 78 rushing yards on 25 carries in that span. That could convince the Colts to push more work to Taylor in future weeks, but for now, Moss remains heavily involved heading into a Week 8 matchup against New Orleans.

  • Finds end zone with reduced volume

    Moss rushed seven times for 21 yards and a touchdown and brought in six of seven targets for 38 yards in the Colts' 37-20 loss to the Jaguars on Sunday.

    Analysis: Moss' backfield mate Jonathan Taylor received an uptick in opportunity Sunday as expected following his Week 5 debut, but both backs ultimately recorded 13 touches apiece. While neither player was able to do much on the ground against a stingy Jaguars front, Moss ultimately had the more productive fantasy day overall thanks largely to his three-yard touchdown run midway through the fourth quarter. Moss' usage through Taylor's first two games is encouraging, but it's still likely the workload…read more

  • Likely to see reduced workload

    Jonathan Taylor is expected to get a larger workload this week at Jacksonville after playing just 10 snaps last week, but Moss is expected to still be part of the mix, the Indianapolis Star reports. "Shoot, those two guys both playing good football will be pretty fun to see," Colts offensive coordinator Jim Bob Cooter said. "We'll see if we can keep that coming."

    Analysis: Taylor missed the first four games while on the PUP list while recovering from an ankle injury. With the Colts also signing Taylor to a three-year, $42 million extension last week, it would seem likely that he takes over the bulk of running back touches sooner rather than later. However, Moss is third in the NFL in rushing yards (445) while paying just four games, so it's unclear how the workload will be divided. Moss would appear likely to move to a split with Taylor at best this week, but…read more

  • Impresses with Taylor back

    Moss rushed the ball 23 times for 165 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 23-16 win over the Titans. He added two receptions for 30 yards.

    Analysis: Moss was expected to lose work with Jonathan Taylor (ankle) making his season debut, but he instead turned in a career-best 165 yards. He also added two touchdowns, the first from 56 yards away and the other a three-yard plunge into the end zone. Moss will almost certainly take a step back as Taylor gets back into game shape, but he has at least 70 rushing yards in all four games this season and could keep a more significant role than originally anticipated.

  • Set to lose work with Taylor back

    Moss is expected to see a reduced snap count Sunday against the Titans after Jonathan Taylor (ankle) was activated from the reserve/PUP list Saturday and was signed to a three-year, $42 million contract extension, Nate Atkins and Joel A. Erickson of The Indianapolis Star report.

    Analysis: Now healthy following January ankle surgery and having patched up his frosty relationship with ownership and the front office after signing an extension, Taylor is likely to settle back in as the Colts' clear lead back in his season debut Sunday. However, because Taylor hadn't practiced since last December before he returned to the field Wednesday, he could be eased back in with a lighter workload than usual Sunday, per Mike Garafolo of NFL Network. The prospect of Taylor splitting snaps with…read more

  • Role could shift if Taylor plays

    Moss could move to a timeshare or backup role Week 5 against the Titans with Jonathan Taylor (ankle) listed as questionable for Sunday's game.

    Analysis: Taylor still needs to be activated from the reserve/PUP list, but a decision on adding him to the active roster will come Saturday. If Taylor is activated and deemed healthy enough to play, it's not clear how much playing time he'll get. Moss could work anywhere from a small backup role to being the primary running back again if Taylor is eased into action.

  • Grinds out 70 yards in loss

    Moss rushed 18 times for 70 yards and failed to secure his only target during Sunday's 29-23 overtime loss to the Rams.

    Analysis: Other than a 20-yard run in the third quarter, the sledding was rough for Moss against a capable Rams defense. The Colts' only rushing touchdown went to rookie quarterback Anthony Richardson, his fifth on the year, and through three games Moss has reached the end zone only once. Jonathan Taylor (ankle) is fully healthy and could return next week against the Titans, which would relegate Moss back to a backup role.

  • Keeps rolling in tough matchup

    Moss rushed the ball 30 times for 122 yards in Sunday's 22-19 overtime loss to the Ravens. He added two receptions for 23 yards and a touchdown.

    Analysis: Moss maintained the clear lead role in the Colts backfield, accounting for 30 of the team's 35 rushing attempts. He was surprisingly efficient against a tough run defense, ripping off a pair of 24-yard runs and two more rushes of more than 10 yards. Moss supplemented that production with a 17-yard touchdown catch early in the second quarter, and he's seen a combined seven targets in his two games as a Colt. Assuming Jonathan Taylor (ankle) is still with the team and can return in Week 5,…read more

  • Makes impact in season debut

    Moss rushed 18 times for 88 yards and a touchdown and brought in all four targets for 19 yards in the Colts' 31-20 win over the Texans on Sunday.

    Analysis: Moss enjoyed a noteworthy season debut after missing Week 1 as he completed his recovery from a broken forearm suffered in training camp. The fourth-year pro picked up where he left off during his strong season-ending four-game run in 2022, and he found the end zone on a hard-charging 11-yard run early in the second quarter. Moss, who notably was the only Colts back to record a carry Sunday, has at least two more games at the top of the ground attack before Jonathan Taylor (PUP, ankle)…read more

  • Headed for starting role Week 2

    Moss (shoulder) was a full participant in practices Wednesday through Friday and is expected to serve as the Colts' starting running back Sunday in Houston, Nate Atkins of The Indianapolis Star reports.

    Analysis: Moss sat out the Colts' Week 1 loss to the Jaguars while he continued to recover from the fractured forearm he sustained in training camp. Even though Moss has gotten only one full week of practice under his belt since suffering the injury, the Colts could be comfortable with immediately leaning on him as their top option on the ground, given Evan Hull's (knee) recent move to injured reserve along with the nightmarish performance that fill-in starter Deon Jackson (13 carries for 14 yards, five…read more

    Moss (arm) was a full participant in practice Wednesday.

    Analysis: Moss is on track to make his 2023 debut this Sunday against Houston and may jump right into a key role after fill-in starter Deon Jackson fumbled twice and gained just 28 yards on 18 touches and a spot in the doghouse in the Week 1 loss to the Jaguars. Also, Evan Hull (knee) suffered an injury that sent him to injured reserve. Jackson should still be involved, especially in passing situations, but a depth chart featuring him, Moss and Jake Funk leaves Moss as the favorite to get the most…read more

    Moss (forearm) is listed as inactive for Sunday's game against the Jaguars.

    Analysis: The Colts downgraded Moss (who is bouncing back from a broken arm) to doubtful Saturday, so it's not surprising to see him sit this one out. In his absence, Deon Jackson is a candidate to head the team's Week 1 backfield, with rookie Evan Hull on hand to work in a complementary role and practice squad elevation Jake Funk in reserve. Moss was able to practice in a limited fashion this past week, which would appear to make a potential return to action on his part next weekend against the Texans…read more

  • Downgraded to doubtful

    Moss (forearm) was downgraded to doubtful for Sunday's game against the Jaguars, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

    Analysis: The initial prognosis after it was announced Moss broke his forearm and would require surgery back in the beginning of August was that the veteran would be sidelined in the range of six weeks, so the downgrade shouldn't be viewed as a setback. It seems likely Moss will be ruled out ahead of Sunday's 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff, and should that occur it'll likely be a combination of Deon Jackson and rookie Evan Hull taking the majority of the work out of the backfield.

  • Questionable for Week 1

    Moss (forearm) is listed as questionable for Sunday's season opener against the Jaguars after practicing in a limited fashion this week.

    Analysis: Moss -- who is bouncing back from a broken arm -- is the only player on the Colts' active roster with an injury designation ahead of Week 1 action, so his status is worth monitoring as Sunday's 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff approaches. If Moss ends up being held out of Indy's opener, Deon Jackson and Evan Hull would figure to lead the team's backfield, with practice-squad members Jake Funk and Jason Huntley potentially in the depth mix if either or both gets elevated for the contest.

  • Another limited practice

    Moss (arm) remained limited at practice Thursday, Kevin Bowen of 107.5 The Fan Indianapolis reports.

    Analysis: Bowen previously noted that Moss -- who is bouncing back from a broken arm -- was able to take some contact during Thursday's session, but unless the running back practices fully Friday, he figures to approach Sunday's game against the Jaguars with a Week 1 injury designation. In the event that Moss is cleared to play this weekend, he'd begin the season as part of a backfield timeshare that would also include Deon Jackson and Evan Hull.

    Analysis: Moss wasn't sporting a non-contact jersey in his return to practice, though the running back won't necessarily play Sunday against the Jaguars after he had been off the field for the past five weeks while recovering from a broken arm. Deon Jackson and Evan Hull are the other running backs on Indianapolis' 53-man roster at the moment, though one of Jake Funk and Jason Huntley could be elevated from the practice squad to add depth if Moss can't play Week 1.

    Analysis: The Colts will issue their first practice report of the regular season later Wednesday, when the extent of Moss's participation will be known. In any case, the running back is making progress in his recovery from a broken arm and could be available to see some Week 1 snaps. If Moss is cleared to play in Sunday's game against the Jaguars, he would likely be part of a backfield committee that would likely include Deon Jackson and Evan Hull.

  • Progressing, Week 1 status TBD

    Coach Shane Steichen noted Monday that Moss, who is bouncing back from a broken right arm, is "progressing well," James Boyd of The Athleticreports.

    Analysis: The report adds that Steichen didn't provide a definitive statement on whether Moss will be available for Sunday's season opener against the Jaguars. If the 2020 third-rounder isn't ready to play this weekend, Deon Jackson and rookie fifth-rounder Evan Hull would be in line to lead Indy's backfield, with practice squad members Jake Funk and Jason Huntley options to be elevated ahead of Week 1 action.

  • Not practicing yet

    Though Moss has yet to return to practice, James Boyd of The Athletic notes that the running back was spotted Thursday without a cast or brace on his right arm.

    Analysis: With Jonathan Taylor (ankle) on the reserve/PUP list and thus set to miss at least four games to begin the season, Moss' status gains import as Week 1 approaches. If he's able to practice soon, Moss -- who is bouncing back from a broken arm -- would be a candidate to absorb a portion of the Colts' rushing duties versus the Jaguars on Sunday, Sept. 10. Also in the mix to help fill in for Taylor are Deon Jackson and rookie fifth-rounder Evan Hull.

  • GM mum on adding RBs

    The Colts are hopeful that Moss (arm) will be available for Week 1, but general manager Chris Ballard hasn't ruled out adding another running back to the roster with Jonathan Taylor (ankle) set to miss at least four games while on the reserve/PUP list, George Bremer of The Anderson Herald Bulletin reports.

    Analysis: After undergoing surgery on his broken arm Aug. 1, Moss was given a rough recovery timeline of 4-to-6 weeks, which should give him a chance at returning for the regular-season opener Sept. 10 against Jacksonville or missing at most one game while he recovers. Indianapolis also has Deon Jackson and rookie fifth-round pick Evan Hull on the roster, but Moss profiles as the best early-down and goal-line option among that trio.

  • Could return Week 1

    Moss could return from a broken arm by Week 1 and would be the likely starter if healthy with Jonathan Taylor (ankle) out at least four weeks while on the reserve/PUP list, Dianna Russini and James Boyd of The Athletic report.

    Analysis: Moss underwent surgery on a broken arm Aug. 1 and was expected to be sidelined four-to-six weeks. Not much has been reported about his status since, but it sounds like he has a chance to play in the regular-season opener. If so, he'd likely be the starter but may be eased into action. Deon Jackson would be the next man up, with rookie Evan Hull also in the mix. It's also possible the three share snaps in a committee until Taylor returns or the Colts sign another veteran.

  • Undergoes surgery

    Moss underwent surgery on his broken arm Tuesday and is expected to be sidelined for about six weeks, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: Nothing has changed from the original timeline for Moss' return, keeping open the possibility he's back for Week 1. Given that Jonathan Taylor (ankle) is currently on the PUP list and has also requested a trade, a speedy recovery could be beneficial for Moss' fantasy relevance early in the season. Deon Jackson, Evan Hull, Jake Funk and Zavier Scott are currently the only healthy options in the backfield for Indianapolis.

    Moss suffered a broken arm at practice Monday and is expected to miss about six weeks, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: Given that the Colts' top running back Jonathan Taylor (ankle/back) is currently sidelined and has also requested a trade, Moss' injury -- which threatens his Week 1 status -- thins out the team's backfield depth ahead of the Aug. 12 preseason opener. For now, Deon Jackson, Evan Hull, Jake Funk and Zavier Scott are the squad's healthy options at running back.

  • Exits Monday's practice

    Moss (arm) left Monday's practice early, James Boyd of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: With top back Jonathan Taylor (ankle/back) on the active/PUP list and also having requested a trade, Moss' injury status gains added import ahead of the Colts' preseason opener. While Taylor and Moss are unavailable, Deon Jackson, Evan Hull and Jake Funk are in line to handle the team's backfield reps in practice.

  • Eclipses century mark in loss

    Moss rushed 18 times for 114 yards and a touchdown and brought in all three targets for seven yards in the Colts' 32-31 loss to the Texans on Sunday.

    Analysis: Moss finished off his late-season surge with a flourish Sunday, eclipsing the 100-yard mark for the first time as a pro in the process. The third-year back certainly seems to have benefited from a combination of interim head coach Jeff Saturday's commitment to the run game and the fresh legs he had late in the season after being used sparingly prior to the final month, as he recorded 65 rushing yards or more in each of the last four contests despite a revolving door at quarterback for…read more

  • Productive rushing day in loss

    Moss rushed 15 times for 74 yards in the Colts' 38-10 loss to the Giants on Sunday.

    Analysis: Moss was one of the few bright spots on the day for Indianapolis, comfortably pacing the team in rushing yards in an extension of what's turning into a late-season audition. Moss has logged double-digit carries in each of his last three contests and has parlayed that opportunity into 208 yards. The fourth-year pro should have another elevated role in the Week 18 finale at home against the Texans' vulnerable run defense.

  • Leads backfield again

    Moss rushed the ball 12 times for 65 yards in Monday's 20-3 loss to the Chargers. He added one reception for five yards.

    Analysis: The Colts played from behind for the majority of the game, though Moss still saw 13 total touches as compared to only three for Deon Jackson. Moss was one of the few bright spots for the Indianapolis offense, as he averaged 5.4 yards per carry and ripped off a 14-yard gain midway through the third quarter -- his longest rush of the day. With Jonathan Taylor (ankle) sidelined for the rest of the season, Moss looks likely to lead the Colts' backfield in the final two contests of the campaign.

  • In line to rotate with Jackson

    With Jonathan Taylor (ankle) on IR, coach Jeff Saturday noted that the Colts plan to rotate between Moss and Deon Jackson when the team faces the Chargers on Monday, James Boyd of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: The report indicates that who gets the start is in line to be a game-time decision, but a time-share appears to be looming between Moss and Jackson, with Jordan Wilkins a candidate to see Week 16 snaps as well. With Taylor limited to just two snaps in this past Saturday's 39-36 loss to the Vikings, Moss logged 53 snaps en route to carrying 24 times for 81 yards, while Jackson was out there for 25 snaps, rushing 13 times for 55 yards and catching his only target for a one-yard TD. With both…read more

  • Larger role awaits

    Moss and Deon Jackson are expected to serve as the Colts' primary options out of the backfield for the final three games of the season with Jonathan Taylor considered unlikely to suit up again after suffering a high-ankle sprain in Saturday's 39-36 overtime loss to the Vikings, Matt Adams and Mike Chappell of Fox 59 Indianapolis report.

    Analysis: When Taylor departed after playing just two snaps in Saturday's contest, Moss operated as the Colts' clear lead ball carrier, toting the rock 24 times for 81 yards. Jackson still was highly involved in his own right, taking 13 carries for 55 yards and hauling in his lone target for a one-yard touchdown. The Colts built a 33-point halftime lead Saturday before suffering the biggest collapse in NFL history, so 37 carries between their top two backs likely won't be sustainable volume over the…read more

  • Gets 24 carries after Taylor injury

    Moss rushed 24 times for 81 yards and failed to catch his only target in Saturday's 39-36 overtime loss to the Vikings.

    Analysis: Moss got four rushing attempts on the opening drive after Jonathan Taylor injured his ankle. The last two came from inside Minnesota's five-yard line but netted minus-4 yards. Indianapolis got back in scoring range on the next drive but opted to use Deon Jackson in the backfield instead, and Jackson rewarded that decision by catching a one-yard touchdown. Moss finished with 24 carries to 13 for Jackson, but the Colts could have used Taylor as they let a 33-point lead slip away. If Taylor can't…read more

    Moss had three carries for 18 yards in Sunday's loss at Dallas.

    Analysis: Moss played just five snaps on offense as he got carries late amid a blowout loss. Despite his trade to the Colts, he's buried on the depth chart behind starter Jonathan Taylor and Deon Jackson.

  • Handles one carry in loss

    Moss carried the ball once and wasn't targeted in Monday's 24-17 loss to the Steelers.

    Analysis: Moss was a complete nonfactor Monday, as the running back played just one of the Colts' 64 offensive snaps. Meanwhile, Deon Jackson played just four snaps in the contest, and Jonathan Taylor played all but five offensive snaps in the contest. With Taylor commanding such a heavy workload out of the Indianapolis backfield, Moss should remain far off the fantasy radar when the Colts visit the Cowboys in Week 13.

  • Two carries in loss

    Moss rushed twice for seven yards and wasn't targeted in Sunday's 17-16 loss to the Eagles.

    Moss had one carry for four yards in Sunday's win at Las Vegas.

  • Status for Week 9 undetermined

    Moss is a candidate to handle a depth role in the Colts backfield Sunday at New England with Jonathan Taylor (ankle) ruled out for the contest, James Boyd of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Moss was among the compensation in the Colts received in Tuesday's deal that sent Nyheim Hines to Buffalo, but with a short turnaround to prepare with a new squad there's a chance Moss won't be active this weekend. No matter who gets the call between Moss or Wilkins to serve as the Colts' No. 3 option out of the backfield, Deon Jackson is poised to be Indianapolis' lead runner Sunday, while Phillip Lindsay likely will be elevated from the practice squad to serve as the No. 2 back.

  • Sent off to Indy

    The Colts acquired Moss and a conditional 2023 sixth-round pick from the Bills on Tuesday in exchange for Nyheim Hines.

    Analysis: With one of the NFL's top running backs in Jonathan Taylor atop the depth chart in Indianapolis, Moss won't have a path to extensive playing time in his new locale, but he'll at least have a better chance at seeing the field. In Buffalo, Moss hadn't played any snaps in the past two games while Devin Singletary and rookie James Cook slotted ahead of him, but the 24-year-old could get a fair opportunity to usurp Deon Jackson for Hines' vacated No. 2 role out of the backfield in Indianapolis.

    Analysis: Moss was inactive for the Bills' Week 6 win over Kansas City, but he'll be in uniform versus Green Bay, along with fellow running backs Devin Singletary, James Cook and Taiwan Jones. In that context, Moss isn't a high-percentage fantasy lineup option given that he's logged limited touches in the last two contests he's suited up for.

    Moss rushed three times for six yards in Sunday's 23-20 win over the Ravens.

    Analysis: Moss played just six offensive snaps in Week 4, marking his lowest total of the season thus far. On the other hand, starter Devin Singletary played 88 percent of the Bills' offensive snaps in the contest, which was his highest snap percentage in the first four weeks. Taking a major backseat to Singletary, Moss is becoming increasingly difficult to trust for fantasy. The veteran's limited opportunities are a concerning trend, and he should be ignored for fantasy purposes when the Bills host the…read more

  • One big play in Sunday's loss

    Moss ran four times for 46 yards and caught his only target for six yards in Sunday's loss to Miami.

    Analysis: Moss did have a key play in the game when he ripped off a career-best 43-yarder down the sideline, a run where he showed nice burst for a bulkier back. Moss remains a bit player in the high-powered Buffalo offense, getting between three and six carries in each game this season. If there's anything to learn beyond this, it's that he seems to be ahead of rookie James Cook in the pecking order -- if only by a slight margin -- behind starter Devin Singletary, who's far more advanced in the passing…read more

  • Just three touches Monday

    Moss rushed three times for 17 yards and didn't catch his only target in Monday's 41-7 win over the Titans.

    Analysis: Devin Singletary got most of the touches in Buffalo's backfield while this game was competitive, while rookie second-round pick James Cook was the primary option after Josh Allen took a seat for the fourth quarter. With the dominant Bills limiting Moss's role even in blowouts, he doesn't have much of a path to touches outside of a Singletary injury.

  • Sees more action than Cook

    Moss carried the ball six times for 15 yards and caught all six targets for 21 yards in Buffalo's win over the Rams on Thursday night.

    Analysis: Devin Singletary -- who saw eight carries for 48 yards -- is the clear leader in the backfield, but it's at least noteworthy that Moss outplayed and outgained second-round rookie James Cook, who coughed up a fumble on his only carry of the game. In the end, Singletary played 59 percent of the offensive snaps, Moss played 37 percent, and Cook saw a modest five percent. All that said, this could end up being a backfield where no one has all that much value without an injury, as Josh Allen has…read more

  • Strong preseason play continues

    Moss ran for 19 yards and two touchdowns on four carries in Buffalo's preseason game against Denver on Saturday.

    Analysis: Moss was largely written off earlier in the offseason, especially following Buffalo's second-round selection of James Cook, but the former Utah star has seemingly done well for himself in training camp and preseason. Tentatively expected to establish himself as Buffalo's third runner behind Cook and Devin Singletary, Moss could especially carve out usage in short-yardage and passing-down situations. Consistency and volume don't figure to be his strong suit, however.

  • Looks good in preseason action

    Moss gained 37 yards on three carries in Saturday's 27-24 preseason victory over the Colts. He also chipped in two receptions on three targets for five yards.

    Analysis: With Devin Singletary held out of the game, Moss was the first back on the field for Buffalo. He began the contest with two rushes of five yards but proceeded to rip off a 27-yard gain on a play that was originally designed to go up the middle. However, Moss was able to bounce off of a tackle and turn the corner for a big gain. After the exhibition, coach Sean McDermott complimented Moss's growth, both on and off the field, per Dan Fetes of ABC Rochester. Singletary is almost certain to begin…read more

  • Making noise at camp

    Teammate Devin Singletary recently said Moss has been "looking good" in training camp and is "getting back to himself" after a disappointing 2021, Dom Tibbetts of WKBW reports.

    Analysis: Singletary implies that Moss had a tough time coming back from ankle surgery after his 2020 rookie season, helping to explain the loss of production (and role) last year. There's more competition for playing time after the Bills used a second-round pick on potential passing-down back James Cook, but it's possible Moss could earn a role of his own and force a three-way committee to start the season.

  • Potentially crowded backfield

    The Bills drafted James Cook out of Georgia in the second round of the NFL Draft, and the rookie presumably will compete with Moss and Devin Singletary for playing time in 2022.

    Analysis: This spells a bit of trouble for Moss, a third-round pick in 2020. His struggles to date probably are part of the reason the Bills drafted a running back so high. Meanwhile, Singletary ended the 2021 season on a tear, scoring nine touchdowns over the team's last six games (three regular season, three playoffs) while surpassing 80 rushing yards in four of them. Moss last received double-digit carries all the way back in Week 5, and he even was a healthy scratch at times. Expect Cook to start…read more

    Analysis: Though he had a clear path to the top backup role for a second straight game with Matt Breida a healthy inactive once again, Moss did little Sunday beyond providing an occasional breather for starting back Devin Singletary.

    Moss carried five times for eight yards and caught two balls for six yards during Sunday's 27-10 win over the Jets.

    Analysis: Perhaps Moss would have gotten more work had the Bills pulled away from the Jets earlier, but it was close enough for most of the afternoon that the team stuck with hot hand Devin Singletary, who's emerged as the team's clear-cut No. 1 running back in recent weeks. At this stage, Moss is fortunate just to have separated himself from Matt Breida, but the former will be a dart throw in playoff pools even if you believe the Bills will advance.

  • Strong runs but limited chances

    Moss had five carries for 39 yards and wasn't targeted in the passing game during Sunday's 29-15 win over the Falcons.

    Analysis: The good news was that Moss has retaken his spot on the depth chart above Matt Breida, who was made a healthy inactive again. The bad is that Devin Singletary has gotten hot down the stretch (23 carries for 110 yards and two scores Sunday) and seems to be the main guy as the Bills ramp up for the playoffs.

Devin Singletary dominated touches in Buffalo's backfield and finished with 78 scrimmage yards and a touchdown on 17 touches. The touchdown came from two yards out, so Singletary has supplanted Moss as Buffalo's preferred short-yardage option.

However, he had a minimal role in last week's loss to the Colts and rushed three times for five yards while failing to secure his lone target.

    Analysis: Before leaving, Moss carried three times for six yards and reeled in two of his four targets for 18 yards. Moss now will have to clear the five-step protocol to make himself available for the Bills' Week 10 game against the Jets, but if the second-year player doesn't get the green light to play, Devin Singletary could be in store for a three-down role out of the Buffalo backfield.

  • Exits Sunday's game

    Moss is being evaluated for a head injury during Sunday's game against the Jaguars.

    Analysis: Prior to that, Moss had recorded three carries for six yards and caught two passes for 18 yards. In his absence, Devin Singletary figures to log added touches out of Buffalo's Week 9 backfield.

  • Records 58 total yards in win

    Moss rushed eight times for 19 yards and brought in six of seven targets for 39 yards in the Bills' 26-11 win over the Dolphins on Sunday.

    Analysis: Moss found surprisingly sparse running room against a Dolphins defense that had been generous on the ground, but he helped make it up to all those holding him in PPR formats with a busy day through the air. His reception total checked in behind only that of Cole Beasley's 10 on the afternoon for the Bills and qualified as a season high as well. Moss will have a chance to get back on track on the ground in a Week 9 road matchup versus the Jaguars.

  • Garners 10 touches

    Moss rushed eight times for 24 yards and caught two of four targets for 15 yards in Monday night's 34-31 loss to the Titans.

    Analysis: Moss matched running mate Devin Singletary's total of 10 touches, but neither tailback was particularly productive, as Singletary finished with 43 scrimmage yards compared to Moss's39. Overall, it was Moss's worst output since he made his season debut against the Dolphins in Week 2, but he at least scored twice on that occasion. Conveniently, Moss will get an opportunity to rebound while facing Miami when Buffalo returns in Week 8 from its bye.

  • Leads backfield in touches

    Moss ran the ball 11 times for 37 yards while adding three receptions (four targets) for 55 yards in Sunday's 38-20 win over the Chiefs.

    Analysis: The Bills did most of their damage through the air, which explains the light output from their running back duo. Moss did out-touch Devin Singletary 14 to seven, but it is worth noting that the former received a good portion of those carries as the Bills milked the clock while up big in the fourth quarter. It's been a pretty even timeshare between the two Buffalo backs, but Moss has the advantage in terms of touchdowns (three to one) while Singletary has been the more efficient back in terms of…read more

  • Finds end zone again

    Moss carried the ball 14 times for 61 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's Week 4 win over the Texans.

    Analysis: Moss split carries exactly evenly with Devin Singletary, and he seems to be settling into consistently earning roughly 15 touches per game. He got work throughout the contest, and he again found the end zone late in the game with the Bills up 26-0. That was similar to the way he found the end zone in Week 2 against Miami and could hint at reduced production when games are more competitive. That could be the case in Week 5 when the Bills take on the Chiefs.

    Moss rushed 13 times for 60 yards and secured all three targets for 31 yards and a touchdown in the Bills' 43-21 win over Washington on Sunday.

    Analysis: The passing attack will garner a lot of the attention considering Josh Allen's four touchdowns through the air, but Moss's performance was encouraging from both a real-life and fantasy perspective. The second-year back outpaced Devin Singletary in carries by two and also scored his first receiving touchdown after coming in with only two receptions over the first two games, with both having come Week 2.

    Moss rushed eight times for 26 yards and two touchdowns while catching both of his targets for eight yards and losing a fumble in Sunday's 35-0 win over Miami.

    Analysis: Moss returned to the lineup after being scratched in Week 1 and managed to find the end zone twice. He lost a fumble and was outgained 82-26 on the ground by Devin Singletary, but Moss's early fumble didn't deter the Bills from giving him the ball by the goal line. Moss capitalized on that usage with touchdowns from seven yards and one yard out in the fourth.

In the opener, Devin Singletary led the team with 72 yards on 11 carries. Singletary figures to lead the backfield again, but Moss could operate as the 1B.

    Moss has not been on the injury report this week after he was a surprise inactive Week 1 against the Steelers.

    Analysis: We can safely assume at this point the second-year back was a surprise scratch. With Matt Breida only notching four yards on four carries in the loss, there's a decent chance Moss gets to suit up Sunday in Miami. It's worth noting the Bills have been constantly mixing things up at running back for the past two seasons, often going with the hot hand for stretches and benching previously productive players for others.

Either he had some kind of injury crop up very late in the week, he broke some kind of team rule, or coach Sean McDermott simply feels he's not fully all the way back and Matt Breida would be a more reliable short-term backup for starter Devin Singletary.

    Moss took four carries for 10 yards and caught one pass for a three-yard touchdown in Saturday's preseason game against Green Bay.

    Analysis: Devin Singletary got the start and most of the snaps on a lengthy opening drive, but he finished with no carries and two catches for only eight yards. Matt Breida also saw a little work with the first-team offense, and his 16-yard gain was the team's only chunk play in the running game before halftime. Moss figures to be part of a two- or even three-man committee to start the season, with Buffalo kicking things off against Pittsburgh in Week 1.

    Moss carried the ball four times for 21 yards in Saturday's preseason game against the Bears.

    Analysis: Moss made his 2021 debut after undergoing offseason ankle surgery and battling a minor hamstring injury during training camp. He played on only one drive and worked exclusively after Devin Singletary was out of the game, picking up notable gains of six and 11 yards. Moss appears to be behind Singletary on the depth chart for the time being, though that makes sense given his inability to stay on the field consistently to this point.

    Analysis: Moss had ankle surgery in the offseason and missed a few camp practices with a minor hamstring injury. Saturday will be his 2021 debut, while backfield mate Devin Singletary is no lock to play, as Bills coach Sean McDermott said he'll rest many of the veterans who have already spent a few years with the team. Granted Singletary won't necessarily be among that group, considering he and Moss presumably are still competing for playing time in the backfield.

    Analysis: Moss sustained a hamstring injury Wednesday that has kept him out in the meantime, including from Friday's exhibition opener at Detroit. Assuming he's able to make it all the way back next weekend, he likely would split the RB reps given to the first-teamers with Devin Singletary, with newcomer Matt Breida serving in a change-of-pace role.

    Moss (hamstring) didn't play in Friday's preseason opener against the Lions.

    Analysis: With Moss out, Devin Singletary got the start and delivered a strong performance (48 scrimmage yards and a touchdown on nine touches). Moss and Singletary are expected to split carries once Moss heals up, with Matt Breida, who totaled 27 rushing yards and 15 receiving yards Friday, mixing in as a change-of-pace option. Since Moss's injury is considered minor, he has a chance of suiting up in Week 2 of the preseason against Chicago.

In his absence, Devin Singletary could take on a larger share of the first-team reps, with Matt Breida and/or Antonio Williams mixing in.

He's coming back from mid-January surgery on his left ankle, again competing with Devin Singletary for first-team reps in the Buffalo backfield.

"[Offensive lineman Cody Ford] and Zack in particular, they really haven't been able to get back out there to where I'm sure that they would like to at this point.

The 2020 third-round pick should be ready to go once training camp rolls around, and it will be worthwhile to monitor his health status.

It's not clear how close he is to returning to full practice work, but it sounds like the second-year back's status for the 2021 season won't be in question.

    Analysis: Moss injured his ankle in the wild-card round of the playoffs and had surgery in mid-January to repair a ruptured tendon. He should complete his rehab before training camp, but his medical history is already a concern, with Moss mentioning that he's played through a slew of injuries since the start of his collegiate career.

  • Coach explains lack of run

    Bills head coach Sean McDermott said Wednesday that Moss' limited use in Monday's win over the 49ers was mainly the result of his costly fumble early in the contest, Jourdon LaBarber of the Bills' official site reports. "The reason you didn't see [Moss] is because we can't put the ball on the turf like that and expect to win games," McDermott said.

    Analysis: Moss wasn't benched the entire game and ended up seeing further action in the fourth quarter, but he ended up with three carries for nine yards and one catch for five yards across his 11 snaps. McDermott isn't the type to permanently punish a promising player, so Moss should get more opportunities in the weeks to come, especially after he wasn't even credited with a lost fumble on the play in question (the turnover was attributed to quarterback Josh Allen.)

    Moss registered nine yards on three carries, adding one reception for five yards during Monday's 34-24 win against the 49ers. He and Josh Allen also fumbled an exchange on the Bills' one-yard line, resulting in a first-quarter giveaway.

    Analysis: Buffalo had its way through the air, as Allen racked up 300-plus passing yards and at least three passing scores for the fourth time this season. The ground attack didn't fare nearly as well, with the Bills accumulating just 3.0 yards per carry against San Francisco's ninth-ranked rush defense.

    Moss rushed nine times for 59 yards and caught both of his targets for nine yards in Sunday's 27-17 win over the Chargers.

    Analysis: Buffalo employed a near-even three man rushing split between Moss, Devin Singletary (11 carries for 82 yards and a fumble) and Josh Allen (nine carries for 32 yards and a touchdown). It has been tough to glean fantasy value from the divided Buffalo backfield, especially with Allen leading the team with six rushing touchdowns, but Moss racked up the second-highest rushing yardage total of his young career and will try to build on this performance in Week 13 against the 49ers.

    Moss carried the ball seven times for 20 yards and caught one of two targets for minus-3 yards in Sunday's 32-30 loss to the Cardinals.

    Analysis: As poor as Moss's performance was, Devin Singletary was just as ineffective, netting 10 yards on five touches, and Josh Allen wound up leading the Bills in rushing yards. With the team headed into its bye week, Sean McDermott and the coaching staff will get some extra time to figure out how to spark a backfield that has seen a running back top 50 rushing yards only once in the last five games.

He offset the lack of yardage a bit with a short rushing touchdown, giving him three in the last two games.

    Analysis: After Devin Singletary got the first five touches out of Buffalo's backfield, Moss subbed in late on Buffalo's opening drive and made an immediate impact. The rookie scampered for 21 yards on his first carry and opened the scoring with an eight-yard touchdown on his second. Moss scored again from four yards out in the third quarter, but he actually finished with five fewer rushing yards than Singletary on the same number of carries. With three scrimmage touchdowns in five games to Singletary's…read more

  • Plays well in limited role

    Moss rushed seven times for 47 yards and caught all three of his targets for another 25 yards in Sunday's 18-10 win over the Jets.

    Analysis: Buffalo didn't have a carry by a running back until more than halfway through the second quarter, and that lack of variety allowed New York to focus on stopping the pass en route to a 10-0 lead. It was all Bills from there, but quarterback Josh Allen still ended up leading the team in both rushing attempts (11) and rushing yards (61). On the bright side for Moss, he was far more effective than Devin Singletary, who rushed eight times for 29 yards and caught just two of five targets for 18…read more

  • Returns to five carries

    Moss rushed five times for 10 yards in Monday's 26-17 loss to the Chiefs.

    Analysis: Moss made his first appearance since Week 2 after overcoming a toe injury. While rainy conditions favored the running game, Buffalo struggled to get much going from its tailbacks, as starter Devin Singletary managed just 32 yards on his 10 carries and Moss's longest rush went for four yards. Even though Moss didn't impress Monday, having him back healthy should make the snap and touch split between him and Singletary worthwhile to monitor going forward. It's also good timing for Moss, as Week…read more

  • Returns to action

    Moss (toe) is active for Monday's game against the Chiefs.

    Analysis: Moss, who last suited up Week 2, will return to the Bills' backfield mix Week 6 and is set to work in tandem with Devin Singletary on Monday, with the team having deactivated T.J. Yeldon for the contest.

  • Ready for action

    Moss (toe) practiced fully for the third straight day Saturday and does not have an injury designation heading into Monday's game against Kansas City.

    Analysis: Moss hasn't played since suffering the injury Week 2, and given his increased practice work to go with the fact the Bills had trouble running the ball up the middle Tuesday against Tennessee, we'd be pretty surprised if he isn't on Monday's active roster. That said, Devin Singletary is still the starter and T.J. Yeldon looked good as a change-of-pace back Tuesday, so Moss may be on a limited play count as he continues to get up to speed in his rookie season.

  • Second straight full practice

    Moss (toe) practiced fully for the second straight day Friday, Chris Brown of the Bills' official site reports.

    Analysis: Even though the rookie has missed the past three games, he's looking good to return to action for Monday's game against the Chiefs, a hypothesis perhaps further supported by the fact the Bills didn't push harder for Le'Veon Bell this week. We'll see if Moss gets a questionable designation or an injury-free tag when the team's final injury report comes out Saturday afternoon.

  • Practices fully Thursday

    Moss (toe) practiced fully Thursday, Chris Brown of the Bills' official site reports.

    Analysis: Moss thus appears on track to be available Monday against the Chiefs after not playing since Week 2. What his Week 6 role might be is unclear, however, with starter Devin Singletary on hand along with T.J. Yeldon, who was effective in a change-of-pace role in Tuesday's loss to the Titans.

  • Able to do some work

    Moss (toe) is on the practice field Thursday as the Bills go through a light jog-through practice, Sal Capaccio of WGR Sports Radio 550 Buffalo reports.

    Analysis: Moss hasn't played since Week 2 in what seemed like a somewhat mild injury at the time. Even his game absences have been a surprise, as he's been consistently practicing on a limited basis and listed as questionable for the games, only to be ruled out just before kickoff. We'll see if things change this week. It's also worth noting Moss's value would be squashed if the Bills brought in Le'Veon Bell, who's rumored to be down to choosing between three teams -- the Bills, Chiefs and Dolphins.

  • Still sidelined Week 5

    Moss (toe) is inactive for Tuesday's game in Tennessee.

    Analysis: Moss was unable to practice with a toe injury before a Week 3 win against the Rams, and he again was absent Week 4 in Las Vegas, despite having LP next to his name on all three practice reports. Finally, he was a full practice participant Saturday, but it wasn't enough for the Bills to clear his return to action. Expect Devin Singletary to receive the vast majority of work out of Buffalo's backfield, while Moss looks to come back Monday versus the Chiefs.

  • Trending in positive direction

    Moss (toe) is listed as questionable for Tuesday's game against the Titans.

    Analysis: Perhaps the bigger news is that Moss was a full participant in Saturday's practice. That combined with the fact the rookie has been at least a limited participant in practice each of the last two weeks seems to suggest Moss will be available for the matchup against the Titans. The 22-year-old has played under 50 percent of the team's offensive snaps through two games, and he's been more of a nuisance to Devin Singletary's fantasy prospects as the second-year back has accumulated 198 total yards…read more

  • Estimated as limited participant

    Moss (toe) is listed as a limited participant on Friday's estimated practice report.

    Analysis: The Bills didn't actually hold a practice session Friday, so it isn't surprising to see Moss tagged with the same activity level he managed Wednesday and Thursday. The rookie running back hasn't played since Week 2, but he'll now get a few extra days to get healthy with Buffalo's Week 5 matchup against the Titans having been postponed until Tuesday.

  • Limited yet again

    Moss (toe) was listed as a limited participant for Thursday's practice.

    Analysis: Moss was limited all of last week before being surprisingly ruled out for Sunday's game in Las Vegas, so we'd like to see him practice fully or at least get an encouraging outlook from the coaching staff before we feel comfortable about his status for Sunday's game in Tennessee, a contest that -- like Moss's status -- is up in the air due to the Titans' current COVID-19 issues.

  • Limited again to start week

    Moss (toe) practiced on a limited basis Wednesday, Chris Brown of the Bills' official site reports.

    Analysis: Moss was limited in practice all of last week and ultimately missed a second consecutive game, allowing Devin Singletary to dominate the running-back touches in Sunday's win over the Raiders. Given Moss's absence last week, he would ideally progress to a full practice by Friday to help assure his status for this weekend's game in Tennessee.

  • Inactive for Week 4

    Moss (toe) will not play in Sunday's game in Las Vegas.

    Analysis: This is a bit of a surprise after the rookie was able to practice on a limited basis all week. The backfield will belong to Devin Singletary for another week.

  • Status in question for Week 4

    Moss (toe), who was a limited practice participant Friday, is listed as questionable for Sunday's game in Las Vegas.

    Analysis: Moss didn't practice at all before being ruled out for Week 3, the result of a toe injury. This week, he was able to maintain limited showings Wednesday through Friday, putting himself in a position to return to action. Unfortunately for fantasy managers, the Bills don't kick off until 4:25 p.m. ET on Sunday, leaving them few replacement options if in fact the team rules him out. Another absence from Moss likely will result in significant work for Devin Singletary for a second consecutive game.

    Moss (toe) practiced on a limited basis Thursday for the second straight day.

    Analysis: It appears the rookie isn't fully out of the woods yet, while his participation level Friday should be more telling toward his status for Sunday's game in Las Vegas. If Moss suits up, he'll continue to work as the 1B to Devin Singletary.

  • Limited on practice report

    Moss (toe) was listed as limited on Wednesday's official injury report.

    Analysis: Reports earlier in the day from the media-access portion of Wednesday's practice suggested the rookie was decently involved in the session, so he seemingly has a good chance to return from a one-game absence to play Sunday in Las Vegas. The rookie running back will still likely need to increase his activity Thursday and/or Friday to avoid an injury designation heading into the weekend.

  • Back at practice

    Moss (toe) is expected to be a full practice participant Wednesday, Maddy Glab of the Bills' official site reports.

    Analysis: Starting the week without any apparent restrictions currently puts Moss on track to play Sunday in Las Vegas, but the Bills' injury reports will still be worth tracking Wednesday through Friday just to ensure that he'll be ready to return from a one-game absence. The promising rookie caught a touchdown pass in his debut game, but he has otherwise been bottled up as a rusher with 17 carries for 48 yards.

  • Ruled out Week 3

    Coach Sean McDermott said Moss (toe) was ruled out for Sunday's game against the Rams, Chris Brown of the Bills' official site reports.

    Analysis: The rookie third-rounder was unable to practice Wednesday and Thursday, and it appears his outlook hasn't improved much entering Friday's session. Moss carried 17 times for 48 yards and caught three passes for 16 yards and one touchdown in the first two games of the season, but he won't be available for Week 3. Devin Singletary played just under 60 percent of the offensive snaps the past two weeks but is now likely to have a larger snap share versus the Rams.

    Analysis: He'll go down as a non-participant for the second day in a row, leaving his status uncertain for Sunday's game against the Rams. Before determining whether he'll carry a designation into the Week 3 contest, the Bills will see what Moss can do during their final practice session Friday. If Moss ends up missing the first game of his career, starting running back Devin Singletary -- who hasn't played more than 60 percent of the offensive snaps in either of the Bills' first two contests -- will…read more

  • Misses Wednesday's practice

    Moss didn't practice Wednesday due to a toe injury.

    Analysis: Keep an eye on Moss's practice participation as the week unfolds, as he'll likely need to graduate to at least limited activity by Friday to have a shot at avoiding an injury designation heading into Sunday. If Moss is limited or out Week 3 against the Rams, Devin Singletary would be in line for an increased share of the backfield reps.

  • Modest numbers in win

    Moss rushed eight times for 37 yards and wasn't targeted in the passing game in the Bills' 31-28 win over the Dolphins on Sunday.

    Analysis: With the contest turning out to be very competitive courtesy of a see-saw fourth quarter, the Bills tilted more toward the passing game than usual with considerable success. In turn, that left Moss and backfield mate Devin Singletary with a relatively modest workload, and the former trailed the latter by two rushing touches by afternoon's end. Moss disappointingly was a complete non-factor through the air as well after seeing four targets in his Week 1 pro debut, leaving fantasy managers to…read more

  • Catches TD in debut

    Moss rushed nine times for 11 yards and caught three of four targets for 16 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 27-17 win over the Jets.

    Analysis: Moss split the rushing work evenly with Devin Singletary (nine carries for 30 yards), but it was quarterback Josh Allen who paced Buffalo's ground game with 14 carries for 57 yards and a touchdown. Allen's power-running style will likely rob Moss of some short touchdowns, but the rookie was on the field when the Bills got in close and caught a four-yard touchdown in the second quarter. Neither running back was able to separate himself in this one, so expect Moss and Singletary to see a…read more

  • Looking good for goal-line work

    It isn't clear how the Bills will split playing time between Moss and Devin Singletary, but it does seem that Moss is more likely to get goal-line touches, according to Joe Buscaglia of The Athletic.

    Analysis: The report kind of hints at a traditional thunder/lightning backfield split, though Singletary wins with agility and vision more so than speed, while Moss is surprisingly nimble in the passing game for a 5-foot-9, 223-pound running back. In other words, both players appear reasonably versatile, which makes it tougher to get a read on the exact nature of their respective roles. It still isn't clear if Singletary's lead role from late last season will carry over to Week 1 against the Jets, as…read more

    Moss (neck) isn't wearing a no-contact jersey Tuesday, Marcel Louis-Jacques of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: It appears the rookie's neck injury was minor, as he's been cleared for contact work after only a few days of being limited. Devin Singletary remains the favorite to start in the backfield Week 1 against the Jets, but Moss also figures to have a significant role in the Buffalo offense.

    Moss was listed as a non-contact participant Sunday due to a neck issue, Sal Capaccio of WGR Sports Radio 550 Buffalo reports.

We'll see if he can shake that label in the coming days as he continues to work toward a chunk of playing time to open the season in tandem with Devin Singletary.

  • Displays pass-catching skills

    Moss has displayed his ability as a pass-catcher in practice of late, Maddy Glab of the Bills' official site reports.

    Analysis: It's already established that Moss, a tackle-breaking runner, could end up being in the mix to see work on short-yardage plays as a rookie, but if he continues to show receiving aptitude it can only help his chances of see added touches behind presumed starter Devin Singletary.

    Moss has signed his four-year rookie contract.

    Analysis: That puts to bed the contracts of all seven Bills rookies from the 2020 draft class. As for Moss, he's certainly an intriguing rookie based on his power and production at Utah. Devin Singletary is the starter, but he's a smaller back and it should be pretty easy for Moss to eke out a meaningful role right away. The quickest path to first-year fantasy value -- barring an injury to Singletary -- would be for Moss to assert himself as the clear guy for tougher carries in short-yardage and…read more
