I know that the Carolina Panthers have an MVP candidate in McCaffrey currently manning the backfield and the Panthers heavily utilize him in the offense. But it might be time to get a Robin for the Panthers’ Batman. McCaffrey is being used in a way that no other running back in the league is currently and while his durability has never been a concern, it might be a good idea to get him someone that can take the load off.

Enter Zack Moss, a bruising back from the University of Utah who has rushed for 828 yards and 11 touchdowns this season for the Utes. He’s well on his way to his third consecutive 1,000-yard season. He’s got enough speed to have big-play potential on every touch provides just enough in the passing game to keep defenses honest.

His battering, powerful running style would provide a perfect complement to McCaffrey and could be a weapon in the red zone.
