All Davis Mattek insights about Jordan Mason
NegativeUsageOct 29, 2026
Without Aaron Jones active, Mason's passing-down role is limited due to the team's belief in DJ Dallas as a passing-down back. Davis Mattek projects Mason will absorb only a few passes (similar to Judkins with Raheem Sanders but better than Judkins with Dylan Samson), playing heavily on early downs. At $5,700 DFS salary, Mattek considers Mason a fine play for Week 8 despite the passing-down limitations and DJ Dallas competition.PositiveValueOct 29, 2026
At $5,700 on DraftKings, Mason becomes a strong value play if Aaron Jones is out; the Lions are 32nd in yards allowed to both run and pass, making Mason a salary-efficient target. Last week he had 38% route participation and 15 carries, suggesting he would dominate touches in the backfield and project similarly to Aaron Jones' output when Mason was previously out, though with slightly less receiving work. He is $300 more expensive than Jeremiah Love but carries 14% ownership versus Love's 2–3%.NegativeRoleOct 26, 2026
Jordan Mason was part of a non-advancing fantasy team that was 89 points back but had a 22% chance of advancing according to PD's projections; the team also featured Jahmyr Gibbs, Toutin, and Rico.PositiveValueOct 25, 2026
Mattek shows mixed conviction on Jordan Mason across multiple formats. In 0.5 PPR, he would play Mason over Dobbins, indicating Mason is the preferred option. In DFS, Mattek prefers Mason over Addison, suggesting better value or production expectations for Mason in the week's matchup. However, Mattek ranked Mason below Woody Marks in a start-sit decision, suggesting Marks is the less preferred play but Mason is not his top choice either.NegativeRoleOct 22, 2026
RB is returning from injury this week for the 49ers; his return directly impacts Aaron Jones' fantasy value and deployment, making Jones' current price not reflective of the backfield shift.PositiveRoleOct 21, 2026
Mason is returning from injury this week and expected to resume his week 1 role, handling all early-down and goal-line work. However, the Vikings offense is one of the worst for running back expected fantasy points; they rarely throw to the running back and have only 11 rushing attempts inside the 10-yard line dating back to week 1, indicating limited red-zone opportunity.NegativeRoleOct 20, 2026
Mason returns to the Vikings backfield as the goal-line back and lead-down back, mirroring the Week 1 split with Aaron Jones handling third-down and long-down duties.NegativeValueOct 8, 2026

Davis Mattek offers a direct negative assessment of Jordan Mason's talent and role, stating 'Jordan Mason is not very good.'NegativeRoleJun 27, 2026
The source includes Jordan Mason in his draft roster construction, listing him as one of the running backs selected in the draft. The source drafted Jordan Mason as a running back on his team.PositiveValueJun 13, 2026
Davis Mattek selected Jordan Mason over Aaron Jones, preferring the slightly younger running back for durability reasons in a 17-game season. Mason has both a standalone role and insanely high contingent value; if Aaron Jones were to get injured or not be able to play anymore, the ceiling is very high, making him a strong mid-round pick with dual value sources.PositiveValueMay 8, 2026
Davis Mattek targets Jordan Mason as a running back option during zero RB team construction, grouping him with other ambiguous backfield candidates like Blake Corum, Dobbins, and Chris Rodriguez. Mattek considers Mason as his next highest-ranked RB after JCM was selected, but ultimately opts for Chris Rodriguez based on ADP strategy to maximize chances of getting multiple running backs from the same backfield. Mason is selected as part of Mattek's zero RB room alongside Rico Dowdle, Chris Rodriguez, Aaron Jones, and Keaton Mitchell.PositiveValueNo date
Identified as the biggest real-time ADP faller available at the time of selection; Davis Mattek selected Mason to complete the running back position while gaining exposure to a high-upside faller. Mason correlates well with Kyler Murray and Justin Jefferson on the roster while providing a unique bye week (different from Hampton, Javonte Henderson, and Rico) to optimize roster construction with five unique bye weeks at running back.
