Mason hasn't played since Week 1 as he's been recovering from a thumb injury. But the Vikings have opened his 21-day practice window, making it very possible he returns for Week 7's contest against the Colts.
STACKED’s take
Mason's 21-day window opening makes him a buy-low FLEX target with top-15 upside if Jones gets injured.
Mason is presented as an overlooked trade target who can provide running back depth, FLEX options, and upside potential. He hasn't played since Week 1 due to a thumb injury, but the Vikings have opened his 21-day practice window, making a Week 7 return against the Colts very possible. In his absence, Aaron Jones has averaged 24.2 touches per game (second-most in football) since Week 2, playing 80% of snaps and handling 86% of the team's rush attempts. The Vikings likely didn't intend to give the 32-year-old Jones this much work, and Jones has been banged up multiple times. Upon Mason's return, he should handle more early-down work and goal-line touches with Jones taking passing downs. In Week 1, Mason handled 54% of rush attempts (15 carries) to Jones's 12 carries, making Mason worthy of FLEX consideration weekly. If Jones misses time due to injury, Mason would become a weekly top-15 option.
