Zack Moss Week 9 Fantasy Outlook: Will he play this weekend?

Zack Moss would be playing for the Indianapolis Colts for the first time if he is active for the Week 9 game against the New England Patriots. Moss was just traded to the Colts in exchange for RB Nyheim Hines and a conditional sixth-round draft selection in 2023.

The NFL is in its ninth week, and many fantasy football managers are worried since six teams have byes this week. In the preceding eight weeks, several athletes have failed to live up to expectations or have suffered season-ending injuries.

Indianapolis Colts starting running back Jonathan Taylor has been declared out of Sunday's game against the New England Patriots. It is now up to the Colts to decide which RB will start Sunday's game. They have RB Deon Jackson, Zack Moss, and Jordan Wilkins as alternatives.

All three players are in good health and are eager to play against the Patriots in Week 9. Moss has only appeared in five games for the Bills, gaining 91 yards on 17 tries but failing to score a touchdown.

He has not played in the previous three games and has only collected 13.3 fantasy points throughout the season. Fantasy managers who have Moss on their roster are debating whether to start him or not this week.

The 25-year-old running back still has a lot to show on the football field, but he might not play this week. He has not played in the past three games and has recently changed teams. The Colts may have to wait a week before ramping him up and preparing him for a new team.

Since starter running back Jonathan Taylor has been ruled out, the Colts will need a starting running back, and Deon Jackson will get that chance.

Jackson will finally get his opportunity to shine against the Patriots in the upcoming game. If Zack Moss is in your fantasy squad, we recommend benching him this week and starting with Deon Jackson.
