Zack Moss (RB, BUF) - Week 8 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team PPR Leagues

ROSTERED: 46% of Leagues

ANALYSIS: While Zack Moss definitely looks more like a "next-man-up" option rather than a true RB2 with a heavy role, fantasy GMs are banking hard on him. Moss' rostership of 46% is incredibly high for some on just supplementary duties, but with Singletary putting on varying performances it makes sense to at least has Moss on the radar.

In the two games in which Moss went on to play in 35+ offensive snaps, he finished with 11.7 and 10.2 PPR points and outperformed Singletary even being part of fewer plays than the latter. Moss didn't play any game from Week 3 to Week 6 (included) due to injury, but he came back this past Sunday to put on his second-best performance to date. Moss rushed the ball 7 times for 47 yards (Singletary finished 10-for-32) and he also caught his three targets for 25 yards (to Singletary's 2-of-5 for 18 yards).

Moss should be the go-to third-down tailback and used more on pass plays than Singletary. When both rushers have played together for a full game (three times), Singletary just out-rushed Moss in carries 27 to 24. Moss might be a little expensive/hard to get find in the WW, but if you can get him he brings some good RB2 upside to the table.

Moss is definitely not a league winner these days, much less with Singletary healthy in the backfield having the RB1 role for him, but he could be a terrific handcuff and boasts FLEX-floor. A good option to go after for needy GMs playing on deeper leagues.
