Moss rushed 15 times for 74 yards in the Colts' 38-10 loss to the Giants on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
Moss was one of the few bright spots on the day for Indianapolis, comfortably pacing the team in rushing yards in an extension of what's turning into a late-season audition. Moss has logged double-digit carries in each of his last three contests and has parlayed that opportunity into 208 yards. The fourth-year pro should have another elevated role in the Week 18 finale at home against the Texans' vulnerable run defense.

Moss rushed the ball 12 times for 65 yards in Monday's 20-3 loss to the Chargers. He added one reception for five yards.
EDGE Analysis
The Colts played from behind for the majority of the game, though Moss still saw 13 total touches as compared to only three for Deon Jackson. Moss was one of the few bright spots for the Indianapolis offense, as he averaged 5.4 yards per carry and ripped off a 14-yard gain midway through the third quarter -- his longest rush of the day. With Jonathan Taylor (ankle) sidelined for the rest of the season, Moss looks likely to lead the Colts' backfield in the final two contests of the campaign.

With Jonathan Taylor (ankle) on IR, coach Jeff Saturday noted that the Colts plan to rotate between Moss and Deon Jackson when the team faces the Chargers on Monday, James Boyd of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
The report indicates that who gets the start is in line to be a game-time decision, but a time-share appears to be looming between Moss and Jackson, with Jordan Wilkins a candidate to see Week 16 snaps as well. With Taylor limited to just two snaps in this past Saturday's 39-36 loss to the Vikings, Moss logged 53 snaps en route to carrying 24 times for 81 yards, while Jackson was out there for 25 snaps, rushing 13 times for 55 yards and catching his only target for a one-yard TD. With both backs in line to see their share of touches down the stretch, Moss and Jackson are on the fantasy radar, but it's plausible that the Colts end up using a 'hot hand' approach in terms of dividing the carries through the team's final three contests.

Moss and Deon Jackson are expected to serve as the Colts' primary options out of the backfield for the final three games of the season with Jonathan Taylor considered unlikely to suit up again after suffering a high-ankle sprain in Saturday's 39-36 overtime loss to the Vikings, Matt Adams and Mike Chappell of Fox 59 Indianapolis report.
EDGE Analysis
When Taylor departed after playing just two snaps in Saturday's contest, Moss operated as the Colts' clear lead ball carrier, toting the rock 24 times for 81 yards. Jackson still was highly involved in his own right, taking 13 carries for 55 yards and hauling in his lone target for a one-yard touchdown. The Colts built a 33-point halftime lead Saturday before suffering the biggest collapse in NFL history, so 37 carries between their top two backs likely won't be sustainable volume over the final three weeks as they may not see a lead that big again. Based on their usage against the Vikings, Moss looks like option 1A on the ground heading into the Colts' Week 16 matchup with the Chargers, with Jackson handling more of the passing-down work.

Moss rushed 24 times for 81 yards and failed to catch his only target in Saturday's 39-36 overtime loss to the Vikings.
EDGE Analysis
Moss got four rushing attempts on the opening drive after Jonathan Taylor injured his ankle. The last two came from inside Minnesota's five-yard line but netted minus-4 yards. Indianapolis got back in scoring range on the next drive but opted to use Deon Jackson in the backfield instead, and Jackson rewarded that decision by catching a one-yard touchdown. Moss finished with 24 carries to 13 for Jackson, but the Colts could have used Taylor as they let a 33-point lead slip away. If Taylor can't play in Week 16, Moss and Jackson would likely split carries again, though Taylor now has an extra couple days to heal before the Chargers come to town for MNF.

Moss had three carries for 18 yards in Sunday's loss at Dallas.
EDGE Analysis
Moss played just five snaps on offense as he got carries late amid a blowout loss. Despite his trade to the Colts, he's buried on the depth chart behind starter Jonathan Taylor and Deon Jackson.

Moss carried the ball once and wasn't targeted in Monday's 24-17 loss to the Steelers.
EDGE Analysis
Moss was a complete non-factor Monday, as the running back played just one of the Colts' 64 offensive snaps. Meanwhile, Deon Jackson played just four snaps in the contest, and Jonathan Taylor played all but five offensive snaps in the contest. With Taylor commanding such a heavy workload out of the Indianapolis backfield, Moss should remain far off the fantasy radar when the Colts visit the Cowboys in Week 13.

Moss rushed twice for seven yards and wasn't targeted in Sunday's 17-16 loss to the Eagles.
EDGE Analysis
Moss finished a distant third in touches behind Jonathan Taylor (25) and Deon Jackson (five) among Colts running backs. As long as Taylor stays healthy, Moss won't see the field enough to gain fantasy relevance.

Moss had one carry for four yards in Sunday's win at Las Vegas.
EDGE Analysis
It was his only snap on offense as he may not be much more than an insurance policy after coming over in a trade from Buffalo. He could have a goal-line role, however, given Indy's struggles in the red zone for much of the season.

Moss is listed as active for Sunday's game against the Raiders.
EDGE Analysis
Starting RB Jonathan Taylor is back in action Sunday, but with Deon Jackson (knee) ruled out for the contest, Moss is poised to make his debut with the Colts and figures to log complementary snaps in Week 10, along with Jordan Wilkins.
