Zack Moss Week 2 Outlook - Bengals at Browns

It wasn't the greatest debut for this duo when they combined for just 41 yards on 18 carries against the Jets last week, though they did combine for 11 targets, 8 receptions, 39 yards, and a touchdown through the air. The snap share was 51 Singletary, 39 Moss, so the veteran does appear to have the bigger role, though Moss had the three goal-line carries. By comparison, Singletary had just two goal-line carries during the entire 2019 season. These two might flip-flop value if this persists. The Dolphins are coming off a game in which they allowed the Patriots running backs to combine for 119 yards and a touchdown on 26 carries, and that's not even including the 75 yards and two touchdowns that Cam Newton rushed for. The Dolphins faced 506 running back touches last year, which was the second-most in football, and it amounts to 31.6 touches per game. Knowing the Dolphins offense will struggle, there should be plenty of touches to go around this week. The Bills gave their running backs 21 and 28 touches in the two meetings last year between these two, though Moss is certainly an upgrade over Gore at this stage. The fact that running backs had 89 red zone touches against the Dolphins last year should excite you about Moss' potential this week, so start him as an RB3 with upside.
