Moss (ankle) will miss the remainder of the playoffs, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
EDGE Analysis
The rookie third-round pick injured his ankle in the fourth quarter of Saturday's 27-24 win over the Colts, taking 11 touches for 47 yards before his departure. Devin Singletary worked in a three-down role when Moss missed three games earlier in the season, averaging 14 carries and four targets on 89, 89 and 64 percent of snaps in Weeks 3-5. The second-year pro figures to handle a large role again, but the Bills could also turn to T.J. Yeldon for some backfield snaps. Either way, the offense will live and die with QB Josh Allen.

Moss is slated to miss time due to the ankle injury he suffered during Saturday's 27-24 wild-card win over the Colts, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.
EDGE Analysis
Prior to his departure early in the fourth quarter, Moss managed 47 yards from scrimmage on 11 touches, both of which ended up leading Bills running backs. There's worry from the team that he'll be out for the remainder of the playoffs, a scenario that would mean Devin Singletary leads the backfield moving forward.

Moss left Saturday's wild-card game against the Colts due to an ankle injury.
EDGE Analysis
After the second play of the fourth quarter, Moss required a cart to get off the field and quickly was deemed doubtful to return. Considering the designation, he likely will end his day with seven carries for 21 yards and four catches (on four targets) for 26 yards. With T.J. Yeldon a healthy scratch Saturday, the Bills backfield has been whittled down to Devin Singletary and Taiwan Jones.

Moss rushed three times for eight yards and caught his only target for 13 yards in Sunday's 56-26 win over Miami.
EDGE Analysis
Moss and Devin Singletary each got three carries and one catch, as Buffalo's main goal was keeping its backfield tandem healthy for the wild-card round next week. Third-stringer Antonio Williams made the most of his opportunity with a pair of touchdowns in the blowout win. Moss finishes his rookie regular season with 112 carries for 481 yards and four touchdowns, as well as 95 yards and a touchdown on 14 receptions.

Moss rushed 12 times for 57 yards and a touchdown in Monday night's 38-9 win over the Patriots. He also caught his only target for no gain.
EDGE Analysis
Moss hit double digits in carries for the third straight game, leading the Bills in rushing in the process. Along with averaging close to five yards per tote, Moss scored his fifth touchdown of the season with a five-yard rush to start the second quarter. In comparison, teammate Devin Singletary finished Monday's game with 10 rushes for 36 yards and two catches for 16 more. By now, Buffalo's backfield rotation is well established, but Moss's production Monday bodes favorably for him continuing to edge Singletary in carries in Week 17 versus the Dolphins.

Moss rushed 13 times for 81 yards while not being targeted in the passing game during Buffalo's 48-19 win over Denver on Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
Devin Singletary stole Moss's thunder with a garbage-time 51-yard gallop late in the fourth quarter, but it was the rookie Moss who carried the mail most of the day, leading the team with the aforementioned 13 carries and doing most of the clock-grinding work in the second half with the Bills holding onto a big league. The one negative is that Moss had a few cracks at the end zone on the Bills' numerous scoring drives, but he was either stopped short or watched with the rest of his teammates as QB Josh Allen worked his magic and ran in for two scores on the ground.

Moss rushed 13 times for 43 yards while failing to haul in his lone target in Sunday's 26-15 win over the Steelers.
EDGE Analysis
Moss saw his workload jump back up to double-digit carries for the first time since his Week 8 explosion against the Patriots (14 carries for 81 yards and two touchdowns). The 2020 third-round pick was less effective with the larger workload this time around, averaging just 3.3 yards per touch, but the Bills did end up getting the victory. Head coach Sean McDermott enlightened the media that Moss's benching last week was indeed the result of his fumble early in the contest. Not only did the rookie get out of his coach's doghouse, but he also surpassed co-starter Devin Singletary in carries by significant margin (13 to seven). While the carry share could flip back in the latter's favor next week against Denver, it appears that both will be involved in the game plan now that Moss is back in his coach's good graces.

Moss, who had a costly fumble in Monday's win over the 49ers, only saw 11 offensive snaps. "The reason you didn't see him is because we can't put the ball on the turf like that and expect to win games," coach Sean McDermott told the Bills' official site.
EDGE Analysis
Moss wasn't benched the entire game and ended up seeing further action in the fourth quarter, though the primetime game was clearly a struggle for him and he ended up with three carries for nine yards and one catch for five yards. McDermott isn't the type to permanently punish a promising player, so we'll consider this a lesson learned in what was the first terrible play of Moss's young career, one in which he didn't even get credited with a lost fumble, which went to quarterback Josh Allen. Still, Moss had a chance to wrest the starting job from a previously struggling Devin Singletary, but the latter seems to be firmly back on top after a couple of strong games.

Moss registered nine yards on three carries, adding one reception for five yards during Monday's 34-24 win against the 49ers. He and Josh Allen also fumbled an exchange on the Bills' one-yard line, resulting in a first-quarter giveaway.
EDGE Analysis
Buffalo had its way through the air, as Allen racked up 300-plus passing yards and at least three passing scores for the fourth time this season. The ground attack didn't fare nearly as well, with the Bills accumulating just 3.0 yards per carry against San Francisco's ninth-ranked rush defense. Moss yielded the bulk of the work to Devin Singletary, who collected 61 yards over 18 carries while adding 22 yards as a pass catcher. Moss, a third-round rookie, heads into a Week 14 matchup against Pittsburgh having averaged seven rush attempts per game over his past four appearances.

Moss rushed nine times for 59 yards and caught both of his targets for nine yards in Sunday's 27-17 win over the Chargers.
EDGE Analysis
Buffalo employed a near-even three man rushing split between Moss, Devin Singletary (11 carries for 82 yards and a fumble) and Josh Allen (nine carries for 32 yards and a touchdown). It has been tough to glean fantasy value from the divided Buffalo backfield, especially with Allen leading the team with six rushing touchdowns, but Moss racked up the second-highest rushing yardage total of his young career and will try to build on this performance in Week 13 against the 49ers.
