Deon Jackson or Zack Moss: who is a better pick?

Who is the best pick between Deon Jackson and Zack Moss in fantasy football? Both players are the running backs for the Indianapolis Colts. However, it would be the first time we would see Zack Moss playing for this team.

The Bills recently shipped Moss to the Colts in exchange for RB Nyheim Hines and a conditional 2023 sixth-round draft pick.

The NFL is in its ninth week, and many fantasy football managers are panicking as six teams are having their bye this week. Many players have failed to live up to expectations or have suffered season-ending injuries in the previous eight weeks.

Indianapolis Colts starting RB Jonathan Taylor has been ruled out of the upcoming game against the New England Patriots this Sunday. Now it is up to the Colts as to which RB they would choose to start Sunday's game - Deon Jackson or Zack Moss?

Both the players are healthy and are looking forward to playing the Week 9 game against the Patriots. Fantasy managers with both Jackson and Moss are in a dilemma as to who will earn more fantasy points this week.

Jackson has played in all eight games for the Colts this season and has earned 33.8 points. He has rushed for 100 yards in 30 attempts and scored one touchdown.

Moss, on the other hand, has played only five games for the Bills and recorded 91 rushing yards in 17 attempts and hasn't scored a touchdown yet. He has been inactive for the last three games and has scored just 13.3 fantasy points this season.

Both players are very young and still have to prove a lot on the football field. Jackson will finally get the opportunity to shine in the upcoming game against the Patriots.

With Taylor out, Jackson would be the starting running back and would have a larger number of snaps than Moss. For Week 9, we would suggest that you start with Deon Jackson and bench Zack Moss.
