Yahoo Fantasy Football - Josh & Hayden on Jordan Mason

Upside play if Aaron Jones misses; less receiving work than Jones.

Ranked as RB next in line at Detroit Lions matchup; ranking assumes Aaron Jones is out. Vikings running back room has averaged 18.5 expected half-PPR points collectively. When Aaron Jones had the backfield to himself (weeks 2-5), he posted RB7, RB18, RB15, and RB18 finishes. Mason would not catch as many passes as Jones, representing a meaningful difference in receiving usage and overall fantasy upside compared to Jones's baseline, but if Jones misses, Mason is in a good spot against the Lions with team total near 22 points.
