From the episode

I now think that Jordan Mason is the lead guy. I think he's going to fit a run scheme that apparently is leaning more on outside zone stuff this year

STACKED’s take

Positive signalSleeper

Mason is a high-upside Week 1 flex play with lead-back potential

Pat Fitzmaurice and Derek Brown view Jordan Mason as a strong Week 1 sleeper start, projecting him as the lead back in Minnesota's run-heavy scheme. Despite being ranked RB38 in ECR, both analysts are significantly higher on him, with Brown suggesting he could reach 15-17 carries and top-15 RB status if he finds the end zone.
