The Buffalo Bills are preparing to host the New York Jets on Sunday in a Week 1 matchup at Bills Stadium. As real football commences, daily fantasy football will also begin taking place this weekend.
The Bills have recently enjoyed an emergence in relevant fantasy football assets. Third-year quarterback Josh Allen has a high rushing floor, which is becoming ever so valuable in fantasy football. But he isn’t the best value in daily fantasy for Week 1. New wide receiver Stefon Diggs joins John Brown and Cole Beasley, but none of them present the right value.
Instead, when looking for value in daily fantasy on the Bills’ side of the ball, look no further than rookie running back Zack Moss. Sure, the Utah product is likely to be sharing the field with second-year back Devin Singletary, but the rookie has already carved out a role at the goal-line during training camp. Not to mention, Moss has shown up as a receiver as well, which we know is vital in fantasy football.
Priced at just $4,400 on DraftKings ($50,000 roster limit), it wouldn’t be a surprise to many if the third-round pick winds up having an explosive day for fantasy managers. He’s already taking over the Frank Gore role at the goal line and with Singletary struggling with fumbles at camp, Moss could be in for a bigger workload than expected.
The backfield in Buffalo is likely to work in tandem but given his likely role inside the five-yard line and his work as a receiver, Moss represents the best value in daily fantasy for the Bills in Week 1.
