The snap difference in the Minnesota backfield prior to Aaron Jones Sr.'s injury, favoring Jordan Mason. Mason's return in Week 7 was largely the same as Week 1, with each RB getting a near 50/50 split in the carries. If Jones does miss time, he reportedly avoided a serious injury Mason can fill his role from Weeks 2-6, averaging 24.3 touches per game and 13.5 fantasy PPG.

Mason back to 50/50 split with Jones; could average 24.3 touches if Jones out.

Mason returned in Week 7 with a near 50/50 split in carries with Aaron Jones Sr., mirroring his Week 1 role. He led in routes (11-6) but failed to bring in either of his targets. If Jones misses time with his knee injury, Mason can fill his role from Weeks 2-6, when he averaged 24.3 touches per game and 13.5 fantasy PPG. The Vikings' run-heavy offense and upcoming matchup against Detroit (32nd in total defense) could provide opportunity.
