Who Should I Start? Ahmad Gardner or Riley Moss

According to Brian Costello of the New York Post, New York Jets defensive back Sauce Gardner (hamstring) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Miami Dolphins. The defensive back initially suffered this hamstring injury during Week 16 and reaggravated last weekend during their loss to the Buffalo Bills. During the week, Gardner was unable to practice in any capacity. As a result, fantasy managers in IDP formats should expect Brandin Echols and Michael Carter to see an increase in playing time on Sunday. Gardner will end his 2024 campaign with 49 tackles (36 solo), one sack, nine pass deflections, and one interception across 15 games.

Denver Broncos defensive back Riley Moss (knee) was forced from the team's 29-19 victory over the Las Vegas Raiders in Week 12 and did not return. The second-year DB registered four tackles before exiting the contest late in the first half. After the game, head coach Sean Payton noted that Moss sustained an MCL injury. Parker Gabriel of the Denver Post reports that Moss avoided a worst-case scenario, and there was some thought he could go back into the game. "We'll see where it's at," said Payton, referencing the 24-year-old's status. Heading into Week 12, the Iowa product had appeared in each game this season and led Denver's cornerbacks in snaps played. His status for Week 13's home tilt against the Cleveland Browns is unclear at this time. However, seeing him miss some practice time this week with the ailment wouldn't be shocking.
