Jordan Mason Leads the Vikings in Carries
Jordan Mason was very involved in his Vikings' debut, playing 54% of snaps and leading the team with 15 carries. He turned those carries into 68 rushing yards and converted his only target into a seven-yard reception. Mason didn't find the end zone, while his backfield-mate Aaron Jones Sr. scored on a key catch in the fourth quarter. Mason and Jones split the playing time just about evenly, although Jones' touchdown made him the better fantasy performer in Week 1. Both will be viable flex plays in Week 2 against the Falcons on Sunday Night Football. J.J. McCarthy ran the offense well enough that both running backs will have touchdown-dependent RB2 upside against Atlanta.
