As we inch toward the new season, the ever-changing NFL landscape has player fantasy values constantly on the move. Whether you’re used to the dynasty platform or are still learning the dynasty rules, let’s dive into the latest dynasty fantasy football value of running back Zack Moss.
Zack Moss’ Dynasty Outlook and Value
I really want to write off Zack Moss. The Buffalo Bills certainly did when they pushed Devin Singletary over him beginning in the 2021 season and then traded Moss at the trade deadline. Unfortunately, I must react to what we see on the field.
Moss, one of the least-talented running backs I’ve ever scouted, actually ran decently well during his four games as the Indianapolis Colts’ starter. From Weeks 15-18, Moss carried the ball 69 times for 334 yards and a touchdown. He averaged about a 65% snap share during that stretch.

Just like with Deon Jackson, we have no idea how the new coaching staff will handle this backfield. They could go into 2023 with a trio of Jonathan Taylor, Jackson, and Moss. Indianapolis could also cut Jackson, Moss, or both with a negligible dead cap hit. It will cost the Colts $1.1 million to roster Moss this season but just $228,000 to cut him.
Zack Moss’ Fantasy Ranking
Moss is still just 25 years old. He’s done enough to prove he belongs in the NFL, which is not something I thought of him prior to this past season. Still, I don’t think Moss needs to be on fantasy rosters outside of deep dynasty leagues.
If Moss finds himself in a handcuff role, there could be some value, but not much. Even in that four-game stretch where he ran well, Moss only averaged 11.1 fantasy points per game. He doesn’t have any standalone value and has limited upside, even if things break his way.
Consider Moss an RB5/6, at best. We have him at RB68 (No. 211 overall) in our dynasty Superflex rankings. There are likely several options available with more plausible upside, but I’m not looking to select Moss in dynasty startup drafts.
