That's a bad setup for an early down back like Mason...The market is higher on the Vikings this year. That means more favorable setups and more situations where running the ball makes sense.
STACKED’s take
Mason underrated at RB40; elite efficiency and improved Vikings offense setup.
Mason at ADP 123.1 (RB40) is underrated with a straightforward sleeper case: Minnesota's offense should be markedly better this year, Aaron Jones might be hitting the cliff as a runner, and there's no third option in the backfield. Mason ranks among the most efficient runners in the league over the last two years with 5.03 Y/A (51.6% success rate), though his sample is smaller than peers. Minnesota ranked 23rd in plays run with a lead in the second half last year—a bad setup for an early-down back—but the market is higher on the Vikings this year (favored in nine games), meaning more favorable setups and situations where running the ball makes sense. Best-ball market has been buying in on Mason as his home league ADP lags behind Underdog and DraftKings.
