2023 Fantasy Outlook
Moss will compete with rookie fifth-round pick Evan Hull and Deon Jackson for the privilege of backing up Jonathan Taylor this season. Moss entered training camp as the favorite as both the incumbent and the player with greater draft pedigree -- a 2020 third-round pick -- but he's now uncertain for Week 1 after suffering a broken arm at the end of July. Furthermore, Hull is no pushover and has plenty of pass-catching experience after serving as the workhorse at Northwestern. Moss did much better in his eight-game audition with Indianapolis last year than he did in the two prior seasons with Buffalo, playing well in a four-game stint as starter following Taylor's season-ending ankle injury, and it's worth remembering that Moss was probably a better player at Utah than Hull was at Northwestern. That said, Hull is faster and quicker than Moss, which could lead to a co-backup sort of situation. Read Past Outlooks

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Ravens may take notice
Moss, who rushed 30 times for 122 yards and posted a 2-23-1 receiving line against the Ravens in Week 3 of last season, could be a free-agent target for Baltimore, Jamison Hensley of ESPN suggests.
ANALYSIS
Hensley points out the Ravens appear set to head into the new league year with Justice Hill as the only healthy running back under contract, given J.K. Dobbins and Gus Edwards are expected to head elsewhere. He also points out the team's brass and coaching staff tend to take note when an available player has succeeded against them in the past. That's the case with Moss, who finished with a career-high 794 rushing yards and five touchdowns and also posted 27 receptions for 192 yards and another pair of scores for the Colts in 2023.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2022
2021
2020
The 2020 third-round pick enters his third season in Buffalo with more questions than answers. During his rookie year, Moss looked like a solid rotational player with an average of 4.3 yards per carry. In 2021 his YPC dropped sharply to 3.6 but an increase in receiving kept his overall production somewhat level with the previous year. However, the drafting of James Cook and signing Duke Johnson have put Moss' role on notice as the 2022 season approaches. Expect Cook to start chipping in on Singletary's workload right away, and the rookie could even leapfrog Moss in short order for the No. 2 role.
