2025 Fantasy Outlook
The Vikings still value Aaron Jones, but their trade for Mason -- who then signed a two-year, $10.5 million contract -- suggests the team wants to utilize power-running concepts that don't suit Jones. At 5-foot-11, 223 pounds, Mason is a classic hammer between the tackles, complementing the lighter and more fragile Jones, who nonetheless figures to remain Minnesota's primary runner between the 20s. The closer Minnesota gets to scoring range, the more Mason's appeal should become apparent. Mason went undrafted out of Georgia Tech back in 2022, but he might have made more of a name for himself if not for then-teammate Jahmyr Gibbs stealing the spotlight. Mason's NFL production only lends credence to the idea that he was a quality player all along, with 236 career carries yielding 1,253 yards (5.3 YPC) and seven touchdowns, including 685 rushing yards and three TDs in Weeks 1-8 of 2024 when he filled in for an injured Christian McCaffrey in San Francisco. On the other hand, Mason's meager career total of 14 receptions suggests he might have to split snaps with another running back even if Jones misses time. Read Past Outlooks
RANKS
Signed a two-year, $7 million contract with the Vikings in March of 2025.
Works behind Jones
Mason rushed the ball four times for 25 yards in Sunday's 27-19 loss to the Ravens. He added one reception on one target for six yards.
ANALYSIS
Mason has maintained at least an even split with Aaron Jones when both are healthy this campaign, but he matched his season-low in touches Sunday. Jones out-touched Mason 12-5, including both a goal-line opportunity and the majority of targets to the position. Given that Jones was questionable with a shoulder injury heading into the game, the workload split doesn't seem to bode well for Mason going forward.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2024
2023
No player better represents the idea that just about any running back can thrive in Kyle Shanahan's offense than Mason. Undrafted out of Georgia Tech in 2022, Mason has averaged 5.6 yards per carry for the 49ers, and while he lacks breakaway speed, his power and sheer refusal to go down have resulted in some impressive yards after contact in a small sample. The 49ers backfield seemingly got more crowded this offseason when they drafted Isaac Guerendo in the fourth round, but it ended up working out well for Mason when Guerendo and Elijah Mitchell both missed most of training camp with injuries. Mitchell was then place on season-ending injured reserve in late August, leaving Mason as the No. 2 running back behind Christian McCaffrey to start the season.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
RB platoon-mate injured again
Mason could see an uptick in touches against the Ravens in Week 10, as Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports that Aaron Jones suffered an AC joint sprain in his shoulder during Sunday's 27-24 win over the Lions.
ANALYSIS
Jones' injury is believed to be minor, so it's possible the veteran running back will avoid missing further action after exiting in the third quarter Sunday. Mason proved capable of handling hefty workloads when Jones had a stint on IR due to a hamstring injury earlier in the season.
