From the episode

Like we got excited about Mason because we thought Jones was going to miss this game with a knee injury. He ends up practicing, uh, Thursday and playing in this game. I thought he looked decent, um, on a couple of his runs, but it's just, there's too much competition here

STACKED’s take

Negative signalRole

Healthy but limited to flex with Jones; three-back snap share committee.

With both Aaron Jones and Mattison healthy, neither can be started as anything more than a flex due to too much competition in the Vikings backfield. Three different running backs on Minnesota had at least 20% of the snaps, indicating a crowded committee approach.
