From the episode

Whereas Aaron Jones, did I read that he's been playing through an MCL injury? Yes. Sprained MCL in week two. Yeah. So I'm much more interested in starting Mason ahead of Jones. But they're both in that low-end number two, high-end non-PPR flex range.

STACKED’s take

Negative signalInjury

MCL injury since Week 2 makes Mason the preferred start over Jones.

Playing through a sprained MCL since Week 2 or 3, which reduces his appeal relative to Jordan Mason despite both backs being in the low-end RB2/high-end non-PPR flex range; the 49ers' bye week may provide some relief.
