Jordan Mason Fantasy Football News | Shark Bites

Jordan Mason out-carried Aaron Jones 15-8, but both backs had quality fantasy outings in Minnesota's 27-24 victory. The split backfield we envisioned came to fruition in Week 1, but the results were encouraging for both players.

Vikings HC Kevin O'Connell said Wednesday that WR Justin Jefferson's hamstring is "progressing" and that he'll be re-assessed next week, per The Athletic's Alec Lewis. Jefferson has been sidelined since July 25.

Vikings HC Kevin O'Connell referred to RBs Aaron Jones and Jordan Mason as "1A-1B" in a recent interview with KFAN. O'Connell also notably talked up Mason's ability in the passing game.

After setting a career-high in touches last year, it appears that Vikings RB Aaron Jones is set to split work with recently signed Jordan Mason in 2025, according to ESPN’s Kevin Seifert.

Vikings HC Kevin O'Connell described his 2025 backfield as a "1A and 1B" situation with Aaron Jones and Jordan Mason. "Aaron Jones is at his best when we can keep him fresh, we can keep him truly as that 1a, because we’ve got the 1b with him, and that was Jordan Mason," O'Connell said.

The 49ers are trading RB Jordan Mason to the Vikings, according to multiple reports. Mason is getting a two-year, $7 million deal with Minnesota that carries a max value of $12 million. The Niners are getting back just a 2026 sixth-rounder and a pick swap in this year's draft, according to NFL Network.

ESPN's Adam Schefter reports that the 49ers have tendered RB Jordan Mason at the second-round level. That still leaves Mason open to sign with other teams, but any team that signs Mason would have to send San Francisco a second-round pick.

Niners HC Kyle Shanahan confirmed Monday that RB Christian McCaffrey will miss at least the rest of the regular season with the PCL injury in his right knee. He also revealed that RB Jordan Mason will head to IR with a high-ankle sprain.

49ers HC Kyle Shanahan said after Sunday night's loss to the Bills that RB Christian McCaffrey has a PCL injury that could be season-ending. McCaffrey will likely undergo additional testing on Monday to get a better look at the damage. We should get another update on his status over the next 24 hours. McCaffrey's absence would leave Jordan Mason as San Francisco's lead back once again. He out-carried RB Isaac Guerendo 13 to four in Buffalo. Mason, who's rostered in only 37% of Sleeper leagues, is the top target on waiver wires this week.

49ers RB Christian McCaffrey totaled 19 touches and 107 yards in Sunday’s win over Tampa Bay. He played over 80% of the snaps in his 2024 debut.

49ers RB Christian McCaffrey (Achilles) is listed as questionable for this weekend’s game against the Buccaneers. He practiced all week, including a full workout on Friday. HC Kyle Shanahan said again on Friday that McCaffrey is fully expected to play against Tampa Bay. We’ll keep an eye out for any reports on his expected workload in his 2024 debut. But unless we hear that his touches will be very limited, McCaffrey belongs in Week 10 fantasy lineups. RB Jordan Mason (shoulder) is off the final injury report and will also play vs. the Bucs.

Niners RB Jordan Mason left in the first half of Sunday night's game after re-injuring his shoulder and did not return. RB Isaac Guerendo took advantage, rushing 14 times for 85 yards and a TD. The rookie also added 3 receptions for 17 yards among 4 targets.

49ers RB Jordan Mason re-injured his shoulder in the first half of Sunday night's game vs. the Cowboys. He's back on the sidelines for the second half but hasn't yet hit the field. RB Isaac Guerendo is operating as San Francisco's lead back. The Niners have a Week 9 bye, and RB Christian McCaffrey is expected back for Week 10.

Niners RB Jordan Mason returned from his Week 6 shoulder injury to reclaim control of the backfield in Sunday's loss to the Chiefs. He played 85.7% of offensive snaps, trailing only QB Brock Purdy and TE George Kittle among skill-position 49ers. Mason also handled 14 of 15 HB carries -- FB Kyle Juszczyk had one as well -- and garnered 2 of 3 targets for the position. Mason ran 27 routes (73% share) to just 3 for Isaac Guerendo. Purdy killed Mason's fantasy line, though, by vulturing a pair of 1-yard TD plunges.

49ers RB Christian McCaffrey is on track to return on November 10th against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 10. There have been no setbacks with his Achilles tendinitis and the 49ers are planning for him to return in about three weeks.

49ers RB Jordan Mason (shoulder) is not listed on the final injury report for Sunday’s game vs. the Chiefs. He practiced all week, including a full workout on Friday. There’s still some risk that Mason’s workload is scaled back a bit, or that he reinjures the shoulder. And the matchup is tough against Kansas City’s top-ranked RB defense. But Mason still belongs in fantasy lineups in most cases.
