Should I Start Zack Moss for Fantasy Football?
Indianapolis Colts running back Zack Moss currently ranks as RB5 in PPR formats but is losing value due to the return of star Jonathan Taylor. Moss played just 50% of snaps last week, which was by far his lowest mark this season. Nevertheless, he still managed to gain 21 yards on seven carries for a rushing touchdown, along with six catches for 38 yards.
The matchup is a nightmare against the Browns, as they allow the seventh-fewest points to running backs this season. Moss has played well enough to maintain a role, but he will likely start to take a backseat to the running back with a new contract. Moss ranks as an RB3/flex option this week, but his volume is a concern.
He is the RB27 in our PPR consensus staff rankings.
Should I Start AJ Dillon for Fantasy Football?
Green Bay Packers running back AJ Dillon is coming off his best game of the season, rushing 20 times for 76 yards with a touchdown. The increased workload came thanks to the absence of Aaron Jones, who remains questionable this week with a hamstring injury. Jones has been participating in limited practice sessions and remains uncertain for Sunday.
The matchup is favorable for Dillon, as the Broncos allow the most points to running backs this season. Even with Jones, there could be value in Dillon due to the Packers' potential dominance on the ground. Assuming the Packers' starter, Jones, is healthy, Dillon ranks as a low-end flex option. If Jones cannot play, Dillon steps into a great matchup as the lead back.
He is the RB37 in our PPR consensus staff rankings.
Should I Start Josh Reynolds for Fantasy Football?
Detroit Lions wide receiver Josh Reynolds is coming off his highest snap count of the season, playing in 81% of snaps against the Buccaneers. He finished with three catches for 50 yards and no touchdowns, resulting in a rather mediocre fantasy performance.
Reynolds is currently the clear number three option in the passing game, trailing both Sam LaPorta and Amon-Ra St. Brown in routes and targets. The Ravens allow the ninth-fewest points to wide receivers, but he still holds some value as a low-end flex option this week. While it's advisable to explore other options if available, Reynolds remains a low-end choice for the flex position.
He is the WR44 in our PPR consensus staff rankings.
