Fantasy Football with Ian Hartitz on Jordan Mason

VideoWeek 7 RB Ranks: Ollie Gordon RB15? This week is GROSSOctober 21, 2026

From the video

RB 30, Jordan Mason, maybe we do see more of a split situation. I'm just trying to again, hedge a little bit against the Vikings saying, "Hey, Aaron Jones, you've been playing well. We're going to continue to make you our lead back." And also, Mason, "Hey, you just broke your thumb, dude. Go ahead and take five touches. Let's chill and then unleash you in week eight."

Negative signalRole

Thumb injury may limit week 7 touches; split backfield risk with Aaron Jones.

Mason may see a reduced role or split backfield usage after breaking his thumb. Ian Hartitz hedges against the 49ers potentially limiting his touches in week 7 before unleashing him in week 8, while also noting Aaron Jones' recent strong play for the Vikings could prompt Minnesota to continue using him as the lead back, creating uncertainty about Mason's lead-back role.
