From the episode

What do you think happens when Jordan Mason is back? I think Aaron Jones is 31 or 32 years old and they know his injury history and they're five and O and probably thinking about January. Um, so I think we'll see a heavy, not like Aaron Jones will be the lead back, but a heavy dose of Jordan Mason as the, as the one B, especially on early downs.

STACKED’s take

Mason expected to see heavy early-down usage as one-B back upon return.

Mason is expected to return and will likely see heavy usage as a one-B back on early downs, especially given Aaron Jones' age (31-32) and injury history; the 49ers are 5-0 and thinking about January, suggesting they will manage Jones' workload and increase Mason's role.
