Jordan Mason is a tremendous fantasy value in round 9–10. He was a starting running back in the first seven games of 2024, on pace for 311 carries, 1,620 rushing yards, seven touchdowns, plus 24 catches for 209 yards. While he may not hit 311 carries, there's a possibility of 270+ carries if Aaron Jones has a reduced role.PositiveRoleAug 11, 2026
The Vikings are changing their run scheme to more outside zone, which fits Jordan Mason's strength. In each of the last four years when he ran outside zone, Mason averaged at least 4.6 yards per carry, including three years over five yards per carry when running outside zone in San Francisco. He's come to camp looking leaner with great reports.PositiveSleeperAug 11, 2026
Sleeper running back expected to be the running downs guy and starting running back for the Vikings; opportunity for improved production due to better offensive environment with Kyler Murray; at 27 years old with Aaron Jones aging at 32, Mason offers flex-level value with upside to RB2 if Jones misses time (averaged 13+ PPR points per game in five games missed last year); downside is limited pass-catching ability with only 28 career receptions in four seasons, but rushing yards and touchdown upside at current ADP makes him easy to target.PositiveValueAug 10, 2026
Jordan Mason is identified as a viable late-round running back option to target in the ninth or tenth round if other preferred targets are missed.PositiveValueJul 23, 2026
Going 123rd overall (round 11) but the source would target him as early as round 9, where Aaron Jones is currently going. Mason averages 5 yards per carry for his career and was excellent in the three games Aaron Jones missed last season. At 31 years old, Jones doesn't look the same; Mason is the better rusher and should work at the goal line. One Vikings beat writer projected 1,100 rushing yards and 9 touchdowns for Mason. The source expects 800-1,000 rushing yards depending on role and Jones's availability, with upside from goal-line work and Kyler Murray's veteran presence taking pressure off the offense.NegativeRoleJul 23, 2026
