Zack Moss

The next player on this list is running back Zack Moss, who did record his first career receiving touchdown but struggled to find much room on the ground. He finished with 11 rushing yards on nine attempts as well as three receptions on four targets for 16 yards and that one touchdown.

Moss is expected to be a big part of this offense and it appears that this is going to be almost a 50/50 split with last year’s starter Devin Singletary. While Singletary did play 59% of the snaps to Moss’ 45%, their touches were almost identical as both had nine rushing attempts and Singletary had seven targets to Moss’ four.

The low rushing output is a bit of a concern but the Bills weren’t able to get much going on the ground, which could be attributed to a strong Jets’ defensive line. The most impressive thing for Zack Moss and this was evident in college, is that he runs hard and didn’t typically go down on the first contact. This was certainly a positive start to his NFL career.
