The Cincinnati Bengals have plenty of big names to consider in the fantasy football space going into the 2024 season.
Running back Zack Moss, though, doesn’t get mentioned often.
Bleacher Report’s Gary Davenport, though, sounds like he thinks Moss should probably get some more love, as he explained while naming Moss Cincinnati’s biggest value:
Moss played well in Jonathan Taylor’s stead last year in Indianapolis, flirting with 1,000 yards from scrimmage and recording a pair of starts in which the 26-year-old posted more than 120 yards on the ground. Moss also set a career best in receptions last season. If he can get a significant share of the passing-down work in Cincinnati, he could be an inexpensive source of RB2 numbers.
The fantasy perspective certainly matches real life — Moss is more versatile than Joe Mixon, the guy he replaced this offseason. He could eat up plenty of targets in the passing game while also getting workmanlike numbers as a bell cow.
Granted, Bengals fans know that sophomore Chase Brown could play a big role, too. But it’s a rotation as of now, so Moss being the 27th running back off the board in fantasy drafts does seem low for what should be a nice bit of work in an explosive offense.
