Zack Moss 2023 NFL Player Outlook: Could Provide Fantasy Value To Begin Season
1 year agoZack Moss (arm) was traded from the Buffalo Bills to the Indianapolis Colts at the Trade Deadline last season and backed up superstar running back Jonathan Taylor (ankle). He broke his arm during practice in late July and missed most of training camp. Moss underwent surgery on his broken arm on August 1 and could return by Week 1. When Taylor missed the last three games due to an ankle injury, Moss filled in quite nicely. He averaged 83.5 rush yards during the last four weeks of the season and had over 14 carries in three of those four games. In eight total games with the Colts last season, the 25-year-old back had 76 carries for 365 yards and one touchdown. Moss entered the 2023 offseason with a chance to win the RB2 job in Indianapolis. However, a lot has changed since then. Taylor will begin the season on the physically unable to perform (PUP) list and will miss at least the first four games. At least to begin 2023, Moss will compete with Deon Jackson and fifth-round rookie Evan Hull for the starting job. He'll likely be the favorite to lead the team in rushes if Indianapolis also doesn't bring in another running back. He's worth a shot in the later rounds of your fantasy drafts.
