ANALYSIS: The season-ending ankle injury that was sustained by Jonathan Taylor was clearly unfortunate for anyone who had invested in the Colts’ lead back during draft season. His absence has also provided an opportunity for fantasy managers to prioritize the addition of Zack Moss or Deon Jackson during the waiver process.
Moss had been acquired from Buffalo on November 1 but had been limited to 11 snaps and seven carries from Weeks 10-14. However, he led Indianapolis with a career-high 67% snap share when the Colts traveled to Minneapolis in Week 15, after Taylor suffered his injury.
Moss also led the team with a career-best 24 rushing attempts and tied his previous high in rushing yardage (81). Jackson operated with a 32% snap share, carried 13 times, and assembled 55 yards against the Vikings. However, he also generated a touchdown on his only reception.
While either player could ultimately emerge as the most productive member of the Colts’ backfield during the team’s remaining matchups, Jeff Saturday’s decision to rely heavily on Moss in Week 15 supplies the incentive for securing him from this week’s waiver wire.
