Bills Beat: RB Zack Moss gets clear vote of confidence

Dec 15, 2020

A week ago, rookie running back Zack Moss fumbled in a key spot, gifting the 49ers the shortest of fields and an easy touchdown. Sean McDermott and his coaching staff swiftly limited Moss’ snaps and said afterward the running back needed to learn a lesson. Credit to the Bills for not extending that lesson into this game against the Steelers. If Moss is going to show growth, he needs to know the team has confidence in him. The Bills showed that on the final drive of the game when Moss carried the ball six times for 26 yards and two first downs on Buffalo’s seven-minute, 11-second drive to seal the win.

Fantasy Impact:

The story added Moss got a clear vote of confidence on that last drive. The Bills ran 11 plays before Allen’s two kneel-downs, and Moss touched the ball on six of them. Moss took 59 percent of the Bills’ offensive snaps to Singletary’s 40 percent. He also had 13 carries to Singletary’s seven. And 26 of Moss’ 43 rushing yards came on the final drive. The Bills trusted Moss to be their closer, and the rookie delivered, the story added.

Cowboys Beat: TE Jake Ferguson not expected to play Thursday

Nick Harris on X

1 hour ago

Long list here, but this is what I’ve gathered:

Guys I expect to play: Brandin Cooks, CeeDee Lamb, Tyler Smith, Cooper Rush

Guys I don’t expect to play: Jake Ferguson, Caelen Carson (possible IR), Zack Martin, Asim Richards

Gonna be close: Trevon Diggs, Eric Kendricks, Marshawn Kneeland

Related players: Luke Schoonmaker

Fantasy Impact:

Ferguson didn't practice Tuesday and remains in protocol, while Rush and Lamb both logged limited sessions. Cooks was also limited. Harris expects Rush, Lamb and Cooks to all play on Thanksgiving against the Giants. If Ferguson is out, Schoonmaker makes for a nice option as a replacement TE in fantasy lineups.

A high-ranking league official told me they have the impression QB Daniel Jones has zeroed on a "leading" choice. While another high-ranking league source told me their understanding is Jones "is telling teams tomorrow."

Fantasy Impact:

Jones seems headed for a backup job and the Ravens, Vikings and Bucs seem like teams that could be in the market. There is a report that says Jones has eliminated the Raiders from contention. As the report said, a decision could come Wednesday from Jones.

Saints say WR Chris Olave (concussion) in a good place

Darren Rizzi said that Chris Olave is in a good place.

Fantasy Impact:

The post went on to say Olave was at the Saints practice on Tuesday and that Olave has seen several specialists and has another appointment coming up soon. On IR, the earliest Olave could be back is Week 15, but there seems to be a ways to go before we get to that point. Other reports say Olave may not return this season.
