Buffalo Sabres: 5 more players and their Bills equivalents

Buffalo Bills Equivalent: Zack Moss, RB

And finally, we reach Casey Mittelstadt and his equivalent, Zack Moss. And while Moss has seen just two seasons with the Bills, he is looking more and more like a disappointment. Since 2020, Moss has played in just 26 of a possible 33 games, with 826 rushing yards and 4.0 yards per carry. However, his 96 carries and 345 rushing yards (3.6 YPC), shows he regressed as a running back.

Moss did have 23 receptions and a receiving touchdown last season, but his catch percentage dropped from 77.8 percent to 71.9 percent. Meanwhile, Mittelstadt continues to be an utter disappointment for the Buffalo Sabres, having spent half the season injured.

With just 19 points and six goals in 40 games, Mittelstadt is running out of chances to be an effective player on the Sabres. I do have him starting the season as the second line center, basically because, at this point, there is no one else unless head coach Don Granato decides to bump Peyton Krebs inside and slide the incoming Jack Quinn or J.J. Peterka to second line winger.

Overall, I am not expecting much neither from Mittelstadt nor Moss this season. Look for both of them to be replaced if injuries continue to hinder their respective careers sooner than later.
