Yahoo Sports NFL on Jordan Mason

Mason's role depends on Aaron Jones Sr.'s knee; likely FLEX-only if Jones plays.

Mason is ranked 20th and assumes Aaron Jones Sr. (knee) needs a week off. The Vikings have averaged 18.5 expected half PPR points to their RB rooms this season, with Jones as a clear RB2 without Mason, inheriting 90%+ of work (RB7, RB18, RB15, RB18 in Weeks 2-5). Mason would inherit similar volume but with fewer receiving opportunities. If Jones plays, Mason is FLEX-only as a worse version of Kyle Monangai or Blake Corum role. Better play from Kyler Murray would help Mason's fantasy hopes. The Vikings have 21.75-point team total as 3-point road dogs against Detroit.
