On Jordan Mason: From Week 1 - don’t forget it was a drive by drive split with Aaron Jones Think this is the baseline we should expect and potentially better for Mason longer term if Jones keeps getting banged upPositiveUsageOct 20, 2026
49ers (vs Commanders): Mike Evans left after his last snap at Q2 1:10 and did not return - could be out a few weeks with Achilles tendinitis per reports RBs: Christian McCaffrey: 70% opp share, 82% route share, 100% of i10 rush att, 56% of 2min RB snaps, 72% 3rd down snap share He’s a top-5 RB every week Kaelon Black: 24% opp share, 18% route share, 0% of i10 rush att, 11% of 2min RB snaps, 6% 3rd down snap share One of the highest priority handcuffs in fantasy football Kyle Juszczyk: 5% opp...PositiveInjuryOct 14, 2026
On Jordan Mason, TJ Hockenson, and Jordan Addison, and Christian Darrisaw: Sounds like all 4 have a "good chance" to return in Week 7 per @DanGrazianoESPN Take: Aaron Jones will be fine out of the bye too (knee), but feels inevitable he misses time making Mason interestingNegativeInjurySep 28, 2026
MIN at TB (Vikings) RBs: Aaron Jones - 85.2% opp share, 64.7% route share, 0 i10 att, 85.7% of 2-min RB snaps, 62.5% of RB third down work With Jordan Mason on IR and Jones dealing with an injury, he was still a bellcow this week - fire him up as an RB2 until Mason is back Demond Claiborne - 11.1% opp share, 0% route share Hard to know if he would be the handcuff if an injury happened or if he’d have a small role with Dallas or Ford playing a bigger role, but promising that he got some touche...NegativeUsageSep 28, 2026
ARI at SF (49ers) RBs: Christian McCaffrey - 74.1% opp share, 79.3% route share, 1 of 2 i10 rush att, 66.7% of 2-min RB snaps, 88.9% of RB third down work Good offense and good role - RB4/5 ROS Kaelon Black - 18.5% opp share, 10.3% route share, 1 of 2 i10 rush att Strong handcuff WR/TE: George Kittle - 86.2% route share, 0.280 TPRR, 3.28 YPRR, 8.3 aDOT, 16% slot Kittle is BACK - full route shares and crusher - probably TE3 ROS given the O + injuries Deebo Samuel - 75.9% route share, 0 targets...PositiveUsageSep 16, 2026
Getting questions about Vikings backups for waivers 1) We don’t know if Demond Claiborne will be active yet 2) Unsure what the split would be 3) Sounds like Jordan Mason is hoping to be back asap 4) If Mason is back asap, you get at best 2 weeks of usage: WK2: not playing WK3: would you feel confident in splits if Jones gets hurt? WK4-5: Surplus value if there’s a clear winner WK6: Mason is back I’m sure there’s a large contingent that disagrees but I am not interested unless it’s a deep leag...NegativeNewsSep 16, 2026
Jordan Mason is on our injury watch list Would boost Aaron Jones a ton this week - they are playing a BAD defense Both backs were getting a boost in general from the matchupPositiveNewsAug 27, 2026
As stated earlier this offseason, the 49ers moved on from Brian Robinson and Jordan Mason types to be more versatile when CMC is off the field 49ers believe Kaelon Black displayed that capability at the Senior Bowl (even though his recent college numbers don't display it) per @MaioccoNBCS via @MySportsUpdatePositiveNewsAug 25, 2026
Jordan Mason looks like the bellcow runner (most of the rushing work) - rushing plans are designed around him Aaron Jones isolated to pass work (health) Take: Differs from the small sample preseason utilization, but could be to get a look behind OL for both Via @thorkuPositiveUsageAug 20, 2026
Jordan Mason’s been a camp standout, but is still splitting carries with Aaron Jones We saw a split in PWK1 so it feels like this is just how it is for now Anything beyond a split is a projection of what you think will happen vs what is current via @alec_lewisPositiveNewsAug 16, 2026
I’ve officially pounded the table for (at cost): Jordan Mason Jacory Croskey-Merritt JK Dobbins Brian RobinsonPositiveUsageAug 15, 2026
Watched the Vikings w/ Kyler: There’s been buzz on Tai Felton potentially playing more than Jauan Jennings overall bc he’s a more clear replacement for Jalen Nailor (deep) than Jennings Seems like they had Felton play a deep threat role, but unsure they would actually play him over Jennings in a real game Might lower Jennings a tad since the reports somewhat line up even though Felton was in bc of Jefferson (though it could have been Jennings playing there) Jordan Mason and Aaron Jones (first...PositiveDepth ChartAug 15, 2026
Jordan Mason speculation as the bellcow rushing down back - Aaron Jones with pass down work Take: Matches what we heard in June and would explain the “or” on the depth chart. via @SKORNorthVikesPositiveNewsAug 8, 2026
Also Greg Dulcich was in non-contact jersey again and didn’t do team drills, but that’s totally fine to me I was Dulcich ready for Week 1 and the fact that he’s back in general is solidPositiveNewsAug 7, 2026
Jordan Mason sounds like he's leading the RB competition for rushing work New rushing scheme should resemble something more similar to his time with the 49ers Take: Looking good in camp doesn't typically matter to me but the run scheme fit and being noticeably better than Jones gives me some more confidence in Mason as the lead rusher. Via Purple Daily PodcastPositiveNewsJul 18, 2026
Another fantasy trope we fall into: RB doesn’t play much in Y1 Team drafts a rd 3+ rookie RB Fade RB in Y2 That would lead you away from Kyren Williams, Blake Corum, Chase Brown, James Conner, AJ Dillon, Ronald Jones, & Jerome Ford All of these guys were great values in Y2
