Zack Moss could emerge as the starter

Sep 03, 2020

According to The Athletic, Zack Moss has a chance to emerge as the starter if Devin Singletary continues to struggle in pass protection, and with holding onto the ball.

Fantasy Impact:

According to Joe Buscaglia of The Athletic, Zack Moss has continually impressed with his readiness for a workload on every down. He is a better pass protector than Devin Singletary, and is just as capable (while likely not as explosive) as a receiver. He went on to say this about the potential workload split between SIngletary and Moss: “What could affect all of that is how Singletary performs in blitz pickup and ball security. The Bills love Singletary’s vision and instincts, but if his fumbling issues carry over into 2020, Moss could take over as the lead back. Singletary fumbled twice in a shortened camp and McDermott has highlighted ball security as a critical area for him. Moss already looks like he belongs and will provide the physical edge the Bills need in the run game. His vision and explosiveness between the tackles have popped.”. We have Zack Moss (28th) ranked above Devin Singletary (34th) for this very reason.

Jets place WR Allen Lazard on IR

The Jets are placing WR Allen Lazard on Injured Reserve because of a chest injury, sources say. Aaron Rodgers’ good friend and trusted target is out at least four games.

Fantasy Impact:

The long-awaited Mike Williams trade feels very unlikely to happen now, but that doesn't necessarily mean he's a fantasy target, either. Lazard is an easy drop anywhere he's dangling on the roster bubble, and we should see some heightened red-zone usage out of Wilson, Adams, and Tyler Conklin moving forward.

Browns TE David Njoku (ankle) misses practice with recurring injury

Browns TE David Njoku missed practice today with his ankle injury. He missed 3 games with it earlier this season.

Related Players: Cedric Tillman, Jerry Jeudy, Jordan Akins

Fantasy Impact:

It would be a huge bummer if Njoku were forced to miss time after putting up great back-to-back performances sans Watson at quarterback. Jordan Akins would be interesting for deep leagues in this scenario, though he only crested 9.0 half-PPR points in one game during Njoku's absence.

Eagles TE Dallas Goedert still absent from practice

DT Jalen Carter (shoulder) and G Landon Dickerson (knee) are at Eagles practice. Neither practiced on Wednesday.

TE Dallas Goedert (hamstring) and CB Darius Slay (groin) are still absent.

Related Players: Grant Calcaterra

Fantasy Impact:

It's looking like another Calcaterra week, which can be ignored in nearly all fantasy formats. Calcaterra crested 50 yards last week but delivered a 1-5-0 line back in Week 7. If Goedert is cleared before Week 9, he is very startable against a soft Jaguars defense.
