Moss, the former third-round pick, was acquired in a trade by the Colts in 2022 and got a chance to start at the end of the season when Jonathan Taylor suffered an ankle injury. He performed well, capping off the year with the first 100-yard game of his career in the season finale against the Houston Texans.

In 2023, Taylor began the year on the PUP list, so Moss once again had a chance to shine. Despite missing the opener due to an arm injury, Moss racked up well over 500 yards in his first four games of the season, including an impressive 165-yard, two touchdown display against the Tennessee Titans.Once Taylor was back up to speed, Moss saw his workload reduced, but still ended the season with almost 800 rushing yards to eclipse his career high. Heading into free agency, Moss has everyone wondering if he can maintain that early-season production over a full year and prove himself to be capable of carrying the load.

Value and upside

The 2023 season was the first time Moss had rushed for more than 500 yards in a season, so he can’t necessarily demand a starter-level deal on the open market. However, if he is capable of maintaining his production levels over the course of an entire season as the No. 1 back, he could prove to be a bargain.

Moss could also be amendable to an incentive-laden deal, which would mean that the team acquiring him would be protected against overpaying in the event the deal doesn’t work out.
