The Vikings got Jordan Mason back from injured reserve for this contest... Mason was used heavily coming back from injury and was solid at 4.5 yards per carry. But might his upside be capped?... If both backs are healthy next week, it would cap the ceiling for each.

Mason's return shows volume but Vikings' weak offense may cap his ceiling.

Mason returned from injured reserve in Week 7 against the Colts and was used heavily with 15 carries for 80 yards (6.8 fantasy points), averaging 4.5 yards per carry. However, the source questions whether his upside is capped given the Vikings' weak offensive production (only 9 total TDs in 6 games) and tough upcoming schedule (Lions, Bills, Packers, 49ers). If both Mason and Aaron Jones Sr. are healthy, both would be low-upside RB3/flex options; if Jones sits, Mason could reach RB2 conversation with a safe floor but uncertain ceiling.
