Who Should I Start? Zack Moss or Jahmyr Gibbs

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.

Detroit Lions running back Jahmyr Gibbs has been special so far this season, recording 1,416 scrimmage yards and 13 touchdowns on 226 touches across 12 games. Since Lions head coach Dan Campbell took over play-calling duties in Week 10, Gibbs is averaging 21 touches per game. With star Lions wideout Amon-Ra St. Brown (ankle) officially questionable to play in Week 14 due to an ankle injury, Gibbs could be in for a heavy workload as both a rusher and receiver against the Dallas Cowboys on Thursday night. For the season, the Dallas defense ranks 27th in the NFL in yards per carry allowed (4.7). However, the Cowboys have been better of late, allowing opponents to an average of 69 rushing yards per game over the last three weeks. Still, the Lions appear likely to force-feed Gibbs touches against Dallas. He profiles as a must-start fantasy running back in Week 14.
