RotoBaller Dynasty Ranking: RB43

Dynasty Analysis: The San Francisco 49ers traded Jordan Mason to the Minnesota Vikings earlier this offseason. At the time, it seemed like an out-of-nowhere move. Based on Vikings head coach Kevin O’Connell’s comments, though, Mason could be a big part of Minnesota’s running game.

Mason filled in nicely for Christian McCaffrey last year. In 12 games, he ran for 789 yards and three touchdowns before suffering an ankle injury that ended his season. Some of Mason’s advanced metrics were also quite good. Among 46 backs with 100 carries, Mason finished third in Next Gen Stats' rush yards over expected per attempt (RYOE/ATT), 10th in PFF elusive rating, and 19th in PFF rushing grade.

Mason now enters a situation where he could get more consistent touches as part of a backfield committee with Aaron Jones. Minnesota has clarified that it acquired Mason to help keep Jones fresh. So, Mason should be in line for plenty of work. If Jones ever goes down, he would also be in line for a starter’s workload.

At the least, Mason should provide some standalone value for gamers. This makes him a fine target as a potential flex play (with upside for more) in deep leagues with larger starting lineups.
