2. Zack Moss, RB, Indianapolis Colts

If you thought Stafford and the Rams offense were a surprise without Kupp, meet an even bigger surprise standout this season in Indianapolis Colts running back Zack Moss. If you play fantasy football and have managed to get your hands on Moss this season, he's helped win you some weeks, that's for sure.

Without Jonathan Taylor for the first few games, the Colts relied on Moss, whom they acquired at last year's deadline from the Buffalo Bills. To begin this year, Moss has been fantastic. He's played the best football of his career, by far, early on in 2023.

Because the Colts recently came to an agreement on an extension with Taylor, they might consider dangling Moss out there for teams who need running back help, and the Rams qualify as such. Enduring some injuries to Kyren Williams and Ronnie Rivers, after having traded Cam Akers, the Rams are now relying on Royce Freeman and Darrell Henderson.

Moss looks like an upgrade at this point, as he's rushed 114 times for 523 yards and four scores. He's also added 115 receiving yards and a score through the air. Getting him in Los Angeles would take care of the lead back issue and allow he and Kyren Williams to form a nice, one-two punch.
