2024 Fantasy Outlook
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 has resulted in some impressive yards after contact in a small sample. The 49ers backfield only got more crowded this offseason, as 2024 fourth-round Isaac Guerendo joined Christian McCaffrey and Elijah Mitchell, but Mason's special teams contributions give him a strong chance of sticking on the roster.

Gains 48 yards as RB2
Mason took six carries for 36 yards and caught his only target for 12 yards in Sunday's 21-20 loss to the Rams.
ANALYSIS
MVP hopeful Christian McCaffrey (calf) was rested Week 18, so primary backup Elijah Mitchell started Sunday's tilt. Mason wound up logging 27 snaps on offense (44 percent) to Mitchell's 32 (52 percent). While both tailbacks nearly split McCaffrey's playing time Sunday, Mitchell (14-52-1) wound up having more plays executed for him and also nabbed the only touchdown the backfield duo would produce in the loss. Mason wraps up the 2023 campaign with numbers (40-206-3) similar to his rookie year (43-258-1) while also serving as one of the 49ers' top coverage men on special teams.

Everyone agrees that Lamar Jackson needs to be blitzed, but just how much pressure should the Chiefs bring this Sunday?
2023 Fantasy Outlook
Mason fought his way onto the 49ers' 53-man roster last preseason and suited up for 19 of the team's 20 games (including playoffs). The undrafted rookie spent most of the year on special teams, but he was able to get some run as a backup in the second half of the schedule. Mason performed particularly well over a three-game stretch from Weeks 13-15, when he accrued 171 rushing yards on just 23 attempts. The Georgia Tech product should return as San Francisco's third running back in 2023 behind Christian McCaffrey and Elijah Mitchell.

More touches in 2024?
With head coach Kyle Shanahan stressing that the 49ers need to reduce the workload of Christian McCaffrey in 2024, Mason could see an uptick in touches out of the backfield as the third running back behind Elijah Mitchell, Matt Barrows and Dan Lombardi of The Athletic report.
ANALYSIS
While Mitchell has taken the bulk of first-team carries during minicamp and OTAs, he has also missed at least six games in each of his three seasons in the league due to various injuries. Barrows notes that Mason is a reliably hard runner who can step into an RB2 role should Mitchell miss time. As the third-string running back behind McCaffrey and Mitchell in 2023, Mason finished the regular season with 40 carries for 206 yards and three touchdowns across 17 games, adding three catches for 31 yards.
