Zack Moss

Moss parlayed his starting stint last year with the Colts into a possible starting gig with the Bengals. In the seven games he started and played at least 50% of the snaps, he finished with 21.1 touches and 98.5 total yards per game. Moss should handle the early downs in Cincinnati this season after ranking 15th in missed tackles forced per attempt and 18th in yards after contact per attempt last year (per Fantasy Points Data). Chase Brown could eat into his pass game work as Moss was only 41st in yards per route run and 48th in targets per route run. Even if his passing game usage is capped, being the early down back on one of the league's best offenses still puts him in the RB2/3 conversation.

The Bengals have agreed to terms with Zack Moss on a two-year, $8 million deal.

Fantasy Impact

The deal includes $4.525 million in the first year for Moss. He officially cashes in after filling in for Jonathan Taylor for much of last season. He is the lead back for the Bengals for now after Joe Mixon was released, but it'll be worth monitoring to see if they draft a running back next month as well.
