In his first game back from injury, Mason had 12 opportunities to eight for Aaron Jones Sr. before Jones suffered an MCL injury. Mason ran a route on 37% of Murray's dropbacks, giving him rushing and receiving utility. Minnesota has primarily leaned on its running game with Murray under center, with the exception of the red zone (+9.1% PROE). Mason has a path to an RB1 workload should Jones miss time. The Vikings are in the trade market for another rusher, but until something happens, Mason should be on target lists.

In his first game back in Week 7, Jordan Mason commanded a 64 percent snap share and a 65 percent rush share despite an RB43 performance on the surface. Aaron Jones reaggravated a sprained left MCL that he suffered in Week 2, and while the Vikings staff is saying Jones is day-to-day, the 31-year-old veteran has a history of injuries keeping him out of games. If Mason handles the majority of snaps or takes on a workhorse role without Jones, he's set up to face an easy set of opponents. The Vikings' running backs have the fifth-easiest schedule over the next five weeks, which will be pivotal to fantasy managers looking to make the playoffs. Minnesota has already had its bye week, so there's one less week to plan around.

No. 1 RB Aaron Jones (knee) exited last week early, and in his absence Mason had a good workload (63% snap rate, 63% rush share, 47% route rate), although he failed to convert that usage into production (6.8 fantasy points, 68 yards, 0 TDs on 15 carries, 2 targets). The source expects him to translate opportunities into fantasy points this week. The Lions have the league's No. 2 HFA over the past five years (+7.69), but the Vikings have cut their home edge to the core (division, similar turf surface, similar indoor stadium), divisional road dogs tend to be sharp (752-641-37 ATS, 4.8% ROI), and the Lions are No. 25 in defensive rush EPA (-0.068). The source is comfortable starting Mason in Guillotine Leagues this week.

Ranked RB23 for Week 8 at DET, assuming Aaron Jones (knee) will play albeit perhaps in a more limited fashion than normal. The source would be inclined to bump Mason up at least two spots if Jones is sidelined, though the Vikings largely refrained from adding additional receiving work to Mason's plate even with Jones sidelined last season. That said: 15-plus touches against a Lions defense that is bad to horrendous is tough to ignore in fantasy land. However, it'd be a lot cooler if this Vikings offense wasn't the slowest-moving group in the league and dead-ass last in total red-zone drives (14) through seven weeks.

Mason returned from injured reserve and dominated backfield usage in Week 7 with 17 of 26 opportunities (65.4%): 15 carries for 68 yards and two targets. He led Aaron Jones in snaps (35 to 15, 64% to 25%), touches (15 to 9), total yards (68 to 29), success rate (40.0%), and missed tackles forced (4 to 0). In two games together (Weeks 1 and 7), Mason has 23 more snaps (64 to 41), nine more touches (30 to 21), nearly twice as many yards (127 to 66), and nine missed tackles forced to Jones' one. The source says to 'trust' Mason as the team's RB1 rest of season unless Minnesota makes another RB move, though the schedule will get tougher.

Mason's return from injury caused the Vikings to list their top-two running backs as co-starters on their official depth chart. He received seven more carries than Aaron Jones Sr. in Week 7, and the Vikings were clear last week that Mason was going to receive a heavy workload. Given that he is five years younger than Jones and has 75 fewer carries this season, it would make sense for Mason to be leaned on in the coming weeks in an effort to keep both players healthy.

Mason returned from injured reserve for Week 7 and led the Vikings' rushing attack with 15 carries for 68 yards, outproducing Aaron Jones (8 carries for 26 yards). If Jones sits with his knee injury, Mason is an RB2 given the volume he'd receive. Even if Jones is OK for Week 8 against the Lions, Mason feels like the better fantasy option right now given his superior performance and the Vikings' weak passing game with Kyler Murray at the helm.
