NBC Sports Rotoworld on Jordan Mason
From the article
Mason on IR with a thumb injury and eligible to return in Week 7. When Kyler Murray is given the opportunity to make a pass anywhere on the field, he'll look to his running back early and often. If Jones were to miss time, Mason would instantly become a top 24 fantasy running back with a solid receiving floor and touchdown upside.
STACKED’s take
Mason's return (Week 7) offers contingent top-24 upside if Jones misses time; elite schedule.
Mason is on IR with a thumb injury and eligible to return in Week 7. When Kyler Murray is given the opportunity, he looks to his running back early and often. Aaron Jones is currently reaping the benefits of the Murray checkdown offense, but eventually a split backfield will return with Mason taking a large portion of the work. Jones is nearly 32 years old, has missed significant time over the past three seasons, and has already dealt with an injury this year. If Jones misses time, Mason would instantly become a top 24 fantasy running back with a solid receiving floor and touchdown upside. The Vikings running backs have the fourth-easiest remaining strength of schedule and a bye in Week 6, making Mason an ideal buy-low candidate with contingent upside.
