PodcastWeek 8 Fantasy Football Running Back Rankings: Biggest Risers, Fallers & Sneaky...October 29, 2026

From the episode

The Lions matchup, they've been better against running backs than pass catchers, obviously, this season. But that's because teams have just elected to throw all over the Detroit Lions... They're still bottom 10 EPA per rush face this season.

STACKED’s take

Positive signalMatchup

Lions are bottom-10 in EPA per rush; favorable matchup for Mason's workload despite team passing volume.

Jordan Mason faces the Detroit Lions, who are bottom-10 in EPA per rush defense. While the Lions have been better against running backs than pass catchers this season, that's because teams have elected to throw all over Detroit, not because their run defense is elite. The matchup is favorable for Mason's workload projection.
