Fantasy Life Articles on Jordan Mason
From the article
Mason has been one of my biggest stances this offseason. He is simply the better runner at this point... Mason averaged 4.9 yards per attempt compared to just 4.2 for Jones... From Week 10 on last season, Mason ranked third in explosive run rate, ninth in success rate, and 10th in missed tackles forced per attempt... he's one of my favorite RBs to target after pick No. 100.
STACKED’s take
Mason is superior runner to Jones with Week 10+ elite efficiency; Murray upgrade aids rushing upside.
Mason is one of the source's biggest stances this offseason as a dark-horse RB1 candidate. He is the superior runner compared to Aaron Jones, averaging 4.9 yards per attempt versus Jones's 4.2 last season, a gap likely to widen as Jones turns 32. From Week 10 onward last season, Mason ranked third in explosive run rate, ninth in success rate, and 10th in missed tackles forced per attempt among RBs with 50+ carries. Even if Jones handles passing situations, Mason could produce 1,000+ rushing yards and double-digit touchdowns. The arrival of Kyler Murray at quarterback should upgrade the Vikings' passing game, forcing defenses to respect play-action and opening running lanes. Jones has played 12 or fewer games in two of the past three years, creating opportunity for Mason to have the backfield to himself in multiple contests. The source identifies Mason as one of his favorite RBs to target after pick 100.
