Except he’s already said last year scared him(losing backs)and he’s gonna roll with the hot hand. I think he is preparing Mason this weekI doubt that passionately. They had three RBs active. You don't put someone who is unprepared on the GameDay roster. Mitchell went down with 12:15 left in the 2nd. Jeff Wilson's first touch was at 8:43 in the 2nd quarter.I'm not sure I agree with this. Imo they didn't give mason any carries is mostly due to preparation. He had an extra full week of practice this week. Jeff certainly has the first crack, but if he looks pedestrian (which I think he is) then Mason is going to get touches.IMO this is the issue. He's not going to get a fair shot this week. Mitchell went down and Wilson ended up on the field for 40 plays, Mitchell was in for 17, the Niners ran 68 plays total. Mason got 0 snaps on offense.
I know everyone thinks Shanahan plays games with his RBs, but that's mostly perception not reality. Shanahan is one of the very few HCs who reliably feeds his lead back until the wheels fall off and then it's next man up.
Wilson is the lead back this week. He's going to eat all the. If he goes down we'll see who Shanahan likes more among whoever is active this week.
That's not a coincidence. That's how Shanahan rolls. The lead back eats, everyone else gets to chew theafterwards.
ETA: Mason had 5 snaps on STs. 15 players had more, so it's difficult to argue STs is why he was active.

Sometimes I think this is a gag, because I highly doubt that you really believe what you are saying. You have to know that Mason will be lucky to get just a few carries.Except he’s already said last year scared him(losing backs)and he’s gonna roll with the hot hand.

Even if I thought he had a chance tomorrow I sure as hell wouldn’t start him. I would have to give it a game to be sure. Starting him is like you don’t care if you get a goose egg, unless you’re desperate.

I am considering him over Hall
JohnnyU

Why would you ever consider starting him until you know what kind of role he will have? I know fantasy players are gamblers at heart, but this smells of wanting to give a game away. Or is this shtick and I’m not in on it?
eighsse2
Footballguy
Yeah. If you are having to dig deep to fill your RB spot(s), Mason is a decent outside shot play. But if you have anyone else with moderate reliability, come on. Gotta give it at least one game without Mitchell to see what happens.

The ohio guy has just been over-the-top in pushing this guy. It's not schtick necessarily, but it's not sober, either.
Drunken Cowboy
Footballguy
Hard to imagine him not having a good sized share unless It is TDP. That seems unlikely. Hall is certainly in a share and against a better D
rockaction
Footballguy
You're betting on an awful lot to go right in order to justify starting this guy. It's a bad move no matter how it turns out.
Drunken Cowboy
Footballguy
Not sure I am going to, but I want to.
Chaka

This week? It's easier to imagine him not seeing the field than it is to imagine him getting a "good sized share".
Shanahan has a history and it's not the one that a lot of people seem to believe it is.
The smart money is Wilson, Deebo & Lance will see 95%+ of the carries.

You seem to underestimate how likely it is that Shanahan suits up the equipment guy (or has any one of the 4 scrubs they just worked out on speed dial)

I won't say Mason won't get the bulk of the carries. I just wouldn't bet my fantasy week on it. Especially if you have other guys like Breece Hall, who just had a 45 percent snap share last game and figures to improve upon that if things break right for him. Don't forget, the Jets have every reason to want him to start over Michael Carter. It's just that there's no substitute for experience sometimes, and the bumps will be there along the way.
But betting my day on Mason when Wilson and TDP are there? Wouldn't do it. Shanahan did say he'd ride hot hand, it seems, but that's too rich of a bet for my blood.

Sure. Other people are arguing that one should start him. That's the pushback you're getting from Johnny U.

Or in full rebuild and he is your "Best RB2" or Flex 2 Option. Mason, B Edwards, or Calvin Ridley (yeah, I know Suspended) ....

Got an open roster spot and looking to snag Mason unless he’s somehow relegated to the RB3.
Anyone have new news on this RB corp since yesterday?

@ohio#1eaglesfan Did he get any snaps? I wasn't able to watch the game

The proper thing is to man up and admit your mistake - happens to all of us. Of course, Rapaport (or Schefter, not sure) said to look out for Mason, too.

I think you can spit the hook out now. He ain't coming around.
