RB Jordan Mason, MIN (1 Viewer)

Mason is a short term rental most likely.
why would you say that? Give me one concrete shred of evidence to support this assertion.
Because nothing indicates CMC is out long term? I’m saying even on IR nothing has been said he would miss more than four games.
It’s all guess work and gambling but I’ll take the bet he misses more than 4 games.
Why do you think that?
Good question; I think it’s smart to interrogate these gut feelings a bit.

Personally I also think he’s not back for a good while longer than 4 games, because every time they’ve said anything the truth has been worse than they let on, and it seems like the injury is progressing negatively rather than positively. Feels like a classic falling knife scenario. One timing will be the right time to catch it and every other time you’ll get cut.

Nothing I’ve seen makes me think 4 games is the exception—hell, they aren’t even talking about “we’ll have him back in 4”
 
Elite Drafters
The conversation starts to turn to Jordan Mason as a future and present top-5 RB1 in the NFL in 2024 and potentially years to come. 👀
UDFA, the 10th under Kyle Shanahan to rush for over 100 yds in an NFL game for SF?
Is that right? I hear it on the radio but it seemed crazy

Years?
:oldunsure:
I'm not sure if that is just Skeletor JR but maybe.

Easily 10 if we are talking about him and his dad. I think Skeletor Sr was involved with some of those Alfred Morris seasons (I looked. He was.)

Eta - While most teams use wide zone scheme in their offense, there is something special about the way the Shanahans scheme has produced so many good RBs out of nowhere.

I mean yeah I’m a believer and I’d smash accept on all but a couple of those.

I don’t wanna further bully the “sell him for a wr3” guy, I’m just saying. He’s worth quite a bit and if you really want out maybe shop him around a bit
 
I’ve been offered Mason and Amari for Reed in a 12 team SF 0.5ppr where I’m win now.

Leaning no as it feels too short termist to me. Love will be back soon and Mason could easily be not usable come playoffs

I don't know man, that's pretty tempting.

I would probably take that trade. Do they have any other WR better than Cooper on their roster?

Not of the older type no, they are rebuilding and have lots of good young WRs, this is the only one he’d give up 99% sure. Close friend, I’ll be seeing him later on and can discuss further

I just think that the Packers WR core is going to be so hard to predict from week to week that Mason and Cooper give you much more stability. And with Love out, Reed is useless with Malik Willis at the helm.

I also feel CMC will be out more than 4 weeks, possibly won't show up until the playoffs, but that's just my opinion.

That's a nice offer, but as someone who almost never makes win now moves I think I'd pass too.
 
Put in winning bid for him in 4 FFPC leagues this morning. A few I was the only bidder but a few I put in bids as high as low $40's and someone went higher.

Now I got two reasons to hope he gets more playing time today with one of those obvious and the other I'm sitting on a ton of Deebo and would sure like to see his RB/wideback or whatever role scaled way back.
 
I'm wondering if this is going to be a big day for Purdy and the SF pass catchers. I'm not saying Mason will be irrelevant, but temper expectations. He may not look nearly as good as last week.

I’m thinking around 85-90 total yards or so, and I do think he’ll hit pay dirt again. I’m perfectly happy with that.

I feel like you're just a contrarian to whatever the consensus is. Like a Debbie Downer. ;)

No, I heard something to that effect on a podcast. I've listened to so many I don't know which one it was.

I think Reed is the one guy they get the ball every week tbh. Despite % on the pitch, he looks like the dude. Also need to be re-convinced Watson can actually get Amari the ball.

Tough with Mason, he could end up carrying all this on to the end of the season, or CMC comes back is fine and 9ers end up drafting someone else when he is gone. Next year’s RB class is expected to be loaded
 
The Niners' offense has many weapons. All teams have game plans and make adjustments during the game. No matter how Mason plays today, he will be a big part of the offense over the next month. I think the first month of FF is the hardest to figure out. It will settle down, and we will know what is what, but we will still make dumb decisions that screw it up anyway. Oh, and injuries suck.

His O/U rushing yards is 74.5 and score anytime TD is -175 last time I checked

Not saying he isn't a good play, I'm playing him too, but I can see a big day for the SF passing game today.
Agree anything is possible I’d say more times than not the O/U and TD odds can be a good play on who to start.

As a Mason manager I would not take any of those offers. My assumption at this point is that CMC is out for minimum 8 weeks (basically 4 weeks of rest and 4 weeks to ramp back up assuming no problems). This is based on my extensive research and knowledge after reading a couple of short articles on the internet. But that is my current position.

So I think Mason should be viewed as a low end RB1 at least up until the 49ers Bye in Week 9.

Obviously roster construction has a lot to do with what you might take for Mason. I feel pretty good about my RB room (full PPR, have Jonathan Taylor, James Conner, Mason, Jaylen Wright (probably being cut next week) and Brooks in an IR spot. But I am also of the opinion you can never have too many good RBs.

I am very weak at QB so I might consider flipping Mason for Mahomes, Allen or Lamar, but that is probably it. Or maybe a WR that I had a top 12 value on, but I also like my WR room overall. But that WR evaluation would change a lot if Cooper Kupp gets hurt.

I think we agree on the evaluation of what Mason is as long as he’s starting but would emphasize that the context there is dynasty. I’d cash out for Nabers in a heartbeat. Prob make far fewer of those moves in redraft

I’m torn in the league I care about most I’m going against team that’s starting him. In the others I mostly have him.

OK, makes complete sense, valuation between redraft and dynasty is totally different. But I think I saw a post that thought he might be a free agent after this year - if true, that might change the dynasty calculus. But I only play redraft so that's where I am coming from.

Mason will be a RFA. Not sure what they'll tender him at, but I doubt they let him go (not match an offer).

I don’t even disagree that he might have more longevity than people are giving him credit for, I’m just comfortable cashing out at the level of the 1.02 for something you found for free. If he becomes Emmitt Smith maybe you didn’t maximize your possible profit but nobody ever went broke locking in the profit on a nothing investment at a free premium asset
 
A few I was the only bidder
How is this possible?
Probably a combo of factors ranging from roster space,uncertainty if he was the next man up after Mason as it's not impossible it would be Taylor and thinking CMC was most likely going to miss 4 games and be good to go and not being up in time for the 9 am CST waiver run after people are saying it might be more like a 6 week thing.

I thought you were talking about Mason. I’ll show myself out :bag:
 
Traded for Mason last night and it feels so good! I own CMC and Kelce so I was able to get him for Pickens and Likely for him and Keon Coleman. Hoping Coleman can develop as the season goes on.

Doesn't seem to be a factor in the passing game. Wonder if that changes as the season progresses.

It changes the complexion of the offense without a true dual utility RB

He looks great running, for sure but he needs to add receiving to his repertoire if he wants to go next level.
has two targets and caught both with no issues…not much he can do about that

The game got out of hand, and they were playing catch-up. When playing from behind, the ball has to go further down the field, and they have weapons for a downfield attack. I think he performed pretty well for the type of game it was, fantasy-wise and in real life. I'm not sure they are calling pass plays for him, but dump-offs and screens should be part of the packages. I think Purdy would like to attack further down the field if given a choice. I know if I were him, I would. Deebo, Kittle, and BA are playmakers. Heck, even Jennings has a solid game.

I think we need to remember that this is game #2 for him in a starting role. The coaching staff will need to trust him more in the passing game, and I think that will take time. They do seem to trust his pass pro, which is, to me, as important as anything to getting more looks in the passing game. If he could not protect, he would not be out there on passing downs as much.

Agreed.

He seems to be blocking well and not screwing up the receiving opportunities he does get, so it seems like there’s a decent shot that part of his role will continue to grow if both those patterns hold up and there continues to be no reason to take him off the field for 3rd downs
 
Mason owner put him on the block yesterday - asking 2025 2nd
That seems VERY reasonable, I'm surprised a Mason owner wouldn't want more.
Want more? He can want more, but smart fantasy players know it might not last long enough to warrant more. Only the CMC owner should consider paying more, no one else IMO. The only way he might get more is if a team feels they only need Mason to win games now to make it to the playoffs, knowing they may have to bench him later.
