Bengals Release Zack Moss

Wednesday, July 30, 10:16 AM

The Cincinnati Bengals have released running back Zack Moss. Moss began his tenure in Cincinnati during the 2024 season. He opened the campaign as the starter but eventually fell to the reserve role in favor of Chase Brown. In addition, Moss would see his season cut short due to a neck injury following Week 8. During the early part of the 2025 offseason, Moss was able to participate in team OTAs but was placed on the non-football injury (NFI) list to open training camp. However, the veteran running back has been unable to progress and will instead look for a new club. As a result, fantasy managers should expect Brown to be deployed as the clear three-down back during the 2025 season. Brown flashed high upside as a pass-catching back in 2025 and will have a path to enjoy an RB1 season with less competition on the depth chart.

Braelon Allen Could Become Jets' Lead Ball Carrier Early in the Season

Saturday, August 30, 9:59 AM

The Athletic's Zack Rosenblatt predicts that New York Jets running back Braelon Allen "will become the predominant ball carrier" in the team's running back room, "perhaps early" in the season. Rosenblatt also writes that he expects the Jets to finish in the top five in the NFL in team rushing attempts, so the team's lead rusher could end up with a significant workload. Allen is expected to split reps at running back with Breece Hall, but Rosenblatt implies that Hall could shift into more of a pass-game role this season. Allen profiles as a low-end RB3/high-end RB4 in redraft fantasy leagues for 2025, and should have dynasty appeal as the Jets running back of the future with Hall in the final year of his contract.
