Zack Moss (RB, BUF) - Week 16 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues

ROSTERED: 49% of Leagues

ANALYSIS: The Bills stomped the Broncos last Saturday and were declared champs of their division for the first time in 25 years. With such a victory in the pocket early, Devin Singletary took advantage of the situation and bagged himself a 51-yard rushing touchdown late that put his fantasy tally (17.4 PPR points) above that of fellow tailback Zack Moss (8.1). That was the only thing saving the former, as it was Moss who looked better and had the most chances, something we should always pursue in fantasy terms.

While Singletary, again, was the highest-scoring RB of the Bills last Saturday, it was Moss who racked up more carries (13 to 8) and more rushing yards (81 to 68). Hadn't it be for that late score, Singletary would have finished 7-for-17 in attempts and yards (and 3-of-3 for 16 receiving yards) for a measly 6.3 score on the day. Singletary brings some pass-catching upside, sure, but Moss is the clear lead-back of the Bills having out-carrying Singletary 26 to 16 in rushing attempts in the past two weeks.

Moss is rostered in half of Yahoo leagues while Singletary is in 72 percent of fantasy rosters. That might make sense in PPR leagues, but Moss is the clear must-have player entering the last game of most fantasy leagues.

The Patriots (Buffalo's W16 foe) rank as a top-half defense against running backs, but New England has been better at stopping pass-catching tailbacks than pure rushers. The Pats have allowed the 10th-most yards on the ground to running backs, but the 8th-fewest receiving yards, which should benefit Moss over Singletary. Don't get too hyped about Moss winning you the league, but consider starting him as a RB3/FLEX if you're part of a deeper league.
