Jordan Mason will lead the backfield again this week. I don't have high hopes for Mason this week, but if he gets in the end zone, he could be a decent flex.

Mason leads backfield but lacks efficiency; end zone dependent for flex value.

Mason will lead the backfield this week after Aaron Jones sustained a knee injury in the fourth quarter last week. Mason was the lead back in the first three quarters of action, posting a 55% snap rate, 12 opportunities, and 42.9% route share (10.5% target share), with the only red zone carry during that span. With his limited work this season, Mason hasn't been efficient, posting only 1.97 yards after contact per attempt and 3% missed tackle rate. The source states: "I don't have high hopes for Mason this week, but if he gets in the end zone, he could be a decent flex." Detroit has allowed the fifth-highest explosive run rate, tenth-highest rushing success rate, and sixth-most yards before contact per attempt over their last five games.
