Elijah Mitchell owner, and I know better than to handcuff any SF back, but I think this guy is going to stick on my roster. If I was Shanahan, this is exactly the kind of back I'd want to pair with Mitchell to help absorb the beating (and dish it out as well). His north-south style looks great in this system.

Thanks...I think Shanny is going to bring in new RBs every year regardless of what he has which is why from a Dynasty standpoint I think the play is to deal a 49 RB as soon as you get good value because it could change real quickly.

That’s the official depth chart, but I don’t think we’d know who would be the primary beneficiary of a Mitchell injury until the game started.Mason is 4th, behind Davis-Price.

Today maybe, but Mason looked WAY BETTER in the preseason. Go to youtube and you can see every carry/target. He's very impressive. ALWAYS moves the pile.Mason is 4th, behind Davis-Price.

I still think Wilson is the #2.
I absolutely think it's fair to look at what papa Shanahan did with backs. He cycled through them too. I'm quite happy owning Mason in my leagues, but if he blows up at the end of the year, I'll swap him for a 23 draft pick ASAP

RB's are going to be pretty terrible in 10-15 years...no incentive to have a child train to be one with the way the market is. All the beating for little to no reward- equivalent of an Amazon warehouse worker vs. what management makes.

RB coach Anthony Lynn on Jordan Mason
Don’t count out J. P., our free-agent rookie,” Lynn said in May. “He’s a good back. He’s not going to impress much outside in shorts but when we get the pads on, you’ll see him show up a little bit.”
“The Shanahans have always been committed to the run game,” Lynn said. “They build their team that way. When you have that belief, and commitment, you work it more, you practice it more. In live games, these backs get used to that.
“A lot of times these backs go to other places and you never hear from them again because they aren’t committed to running the football like we are.”
Jordan Mason likes this system
“This just fit my running style so I was like, ‘Why not? Let’s go.’ ” Mason said a week ago. “Eight yards deep behind the QB, let’s go wide zone, let’s go inside zone. I think that fits my run style.”

Yeah, unless I'm getting a guy for super cheap...I think I'm done trying to find the next big SF RB thing. Too much of a carousel. SF makes New England look predictable.

Churning the last spot on my dynasty roster, got him for $0 this morning by cutting my Foster Moreau Waller insurance policy. At that price I'll see if he can do something.

That speaks volumes and the words are "Stay away from SF RBs."

Nah, i think it's this:
That "just get the cheapest one" strategy seems viable here.

Or just pick up Mason! Come on bro I’m showing you the light!

Footballguy
well, I did just that this morning since he was free.

Why not just buy the cheapest guy, then flip him when his value increases?

Exactly. Most leagues probably don’t have waivers right now, but In the one I’m in that does I dropped Darrell Williams for Davis. Hoping for the best.

My favorite Texans player to watch ever. Watt and Andre Johnson are close, but Foster was so fun. Good times.

https://www.49ers.com/video/jordan-mason-runs-through-vikings-defense-for-a-17-yard-pickup-vikings
I’m gonna break down his 17 yard run that made me a believer.
First off there is not a big hole here. Mason finds a tiny crease(impressive) and bursts through it. He sees the first defender and lowers his pad level and rips right through him. Once he’s in the second level he is surrounded by 3 defensive backs. One on each side of him and one in front of him. The db in front of him and the one on his left hit him at the same time but he once again lowers his pad level and drops both of them. The third db on his right comes in and cleans up the mess. My favorite part is the trail of bodies he left in his wake. This run was super impressive and he fits this system perfectly.

I need that all 22 film. That run looks even more impressive on that video that was just shared.

both are available on waivers....who do you pick?
Alex P Keaton

Mason. Wilson is the safer pick to have a role (goalline RB) but IMO we now have ample evidence that Kyle loves to prove how smart he as at picking RBs, just like his dad, so he’s going to give Mason a real shot at some point.

"We didn't really expect for [Mason] to be where he is at," Shanahan admitted Thursday on KNBR's Tolbert & Copes show. "We thought we'd be able to keep four backs and keep him on [the] practice squad. But the way he turned it on at the end of camp and practice, and then what he showed in those preseason games, we really felt we were going to lose him. And we actually know we were going to."

Where do we rank Mason amongst the others with promise?
massraider

He's still 4th on the depth chart. Where I own him, Wilson was already rostered.

I really want to pick him up. Mitchell is good, but a fellow UDFA. Jeff Wilson doesn't impress me all that much, but he is solid. Mason could carve out a roll, but he won't fully take over without an injury. Not sure we'd see a Jones/Dillon type situation here or not.
massraider
Footballguy
Right right, still a lottery ticket
I’d still grab Wilson in redraft right now over Mason. He’s been there and knows the system and we’ve seen him be an effective runner before. I think if Mitchell goes down early he would be the lead in some sort of rotation.
If it’s dynasty, I’m absolutely prioritizing Mason. He seems legit pretty good and the coaches obviously like him a lot.

Agree here ... Dynasty role is give Mason a chance in SF. With the hard SF Run Game, Injuries are impossible to predict, but we can all expect them.
ohio#1eaglesfan

I think we see him on the field week 1 and he’s a top waiver add. Hasty is gone, who’s the 3rd down back?
I think it could be Mason

I wouldn't. Wilson has missed 27 of 64 games. And it's not that he had a terrible injury that cost him 16 or 17 games in a season, he's missed: 10, 6, 4 & 8 in his first four seasons. He's been relevant in maybe 5 games (I call B.S. on anyone who says they started him in weeks 2 & 3 of 2019, I think it's unlikely anyone started him in week 7 in 2020 either), to be fair that is 5 of 9 starts where he was relevant, which is a great hit rate.
He might give you some great return for a few games but he really doesn't seem to hold up to the punishment of being an NFL RB.
The Niner backfield strikes me as a situation where both Mitchell & Wilson take turns being injured, but still manage to remain healthy enough to depress the value of the backs behind them. Of both of them are out for a game Mason may get a shot but as soon as either Mitchell or Wilson comes back, Mason probably goes right back to special teams.
All that said if I'm going to place my all in bet on finding the future Arian Foster in San Francisco I'll bet on the UDFA.
Agree. Plus, he didn't look great last year with the exception of the Atlanta game, against a crappy run defense.
Wouldn't be surprised if Mason is the #2 RB by week 4-5.

I bought into the hype yesterday with my last pick to backstop Mitchell. But I am wondering if we're overthinking this a little, or if I'm overthinking it now.
I get that Mason made Sermon expendable, but is there any reason to think Mason has leaped Davis-Price in the pecking order? TDP also made Sermon expendable. He's built like a brick-#### house, has a pretty good college resume at a top program and has the draft capital. Shouldn't we, in this thread not the FF community as a whole, be valuing TDP over Mason?
