Ryan Moats rushed for 126 yards and three touchdowns on 23 carries and caught two passes for 25 yards in the Texans' Week 8 win over Buffalo.
Moats took over as Houston's featured back after Steve Slaton lost a first-quarter fumble. He churned out productive carry after productive carry, playing ahead of Chris Brown and even getting the ball in some short-yardage situations. Moats' final two scores were from one and three yards out, respectively. While it's fairly hard to imagine Slaton being completely dropped from the offensive game plan, Moats has obviously earned a larger role. He'll be worth grabbing in all leagues this week.
