Should You Start or Sit Zack Moss in Week 7?
Moss played over 58% of the snaps in each of the first five weeks this season, peaking at 82% in Week 2’s loss to the Chiefs. But his rate checked in at 46.2% last week and has him fading out of lineups.
With this being a committee, Moss deserves to remain on rosters, if for no other reason than he is an injury to Chase Brown away from a featured role on a top-10 offense. That said, if the touch count is capped, we need a level of rushing upside that we simply haven’t seen this season. Moss doesn’t yet have a 10-yard rush in October or a 20-yard carry this season, leading me to believe that this is Brown’s role until proven otherwise.
The Browns’ defense is as stingy as years past, but only once this season has a running back hit 15 PPR points against them this season (Devin Singletary). I find it unlikely that Cincinnati will add a name to that list with a nearly even split.
