Looks like I was right on the talent. Mason is a stud that is hard to bring down and finds the seam most times then not. Sorry about the early season usage but Mason is gonna pound that rock now.

Here we go again, only this time I obtained him for free in several leagues, I’m interested now. I have a hard time seeing him getting enough love to matter in fantasy……….yet
ohio#1eaglesfan

What’s up your butt Johnny? I apologize that Shanny was too stubborn to work the rook in until now. Looks like Shanny should’ve done so sooner.
JohnnyU
Footballguy
Nuttin’ honey. I think it it is risky playing Mason in fantasy unless he gets more than 8 carries, especially trying to make the playoffs and God forbid in the playoffs.

Yeah you’d have to be desperate right now. I just love a Cinderella story! Hard not to cheer for a guy like Mason for me

He is now “next man up” by default. In SF it’s impossible to not roster that dude.
I only had 3x 5th round picks this year. One was garbage, but Mason & Pacheco were the other two.

Pacheco then Mason were my two favorite sleepers this off-season. Them and Alec Pierce
ohio#1eaglesfan

oh that will be enough. Shanny hasn’t learned and seems intent on running cmc into the ground. He needs to #feedmason

Yes, it was surprising (not surprising) that in a game they controlled from start to finish Shanahan didn't reduce the wear-and-tear on McCaffrey.
He runs a heckuva scheme but how many more losses does he think this offense can sustain?
ohio#1eaglesfan
Footballguy
Yeah he’d be wise to stop running Lance and Deebo between the tackles when he has a bruiser like Mason. Mason is averaging over 4 yards after contact and you can see him move that first defender down the field almost every time.
how many people are starting Mason this week? I’m contemplating flexing him in a standard league over Bam Knight, Dillon (concussion), and Jeudy. My reasoning for really liking Mason this week:
1) CMC is coming off a game with 30 plus touches on which they clinched the division. Granted, they want the #1 seed to avoid the Eagles in round 2 of the playoffs, but McCaffrey’s injury history is long and they need him healthy for the playoffs.
2) they are at home against the Redskins, and their vaunted D should put the clamps on that mediocre offense. I can see Heineke having a long day and throwing a few picks. The gamescript should bode well for Mason to get a lot of touches in the 2nd half.
3) as someone already alluded to, Mason is averaging 4 YPC after contact and his bruising running style should wear down an already tired defense in the second half. Plus, they are starting a roomie QB and will want to make his job as easy as possible. That bodes well
for the run game.
I predict that Mason will have 70-80 yards rushing and a score. McCaffrey will get around 20 touches, but there’s no reason we don’t see Mason get 12-15 carries in this one.

I follow the Niners pretty closely, including their top beat writers, and I havent heard anything that would back that tweet up. Everything I've heard is how good TDP looks, and that Mason has had fumbling issues and has had several dropped passes throughout camp.
That said, I'm not saying TDP beating Mason is a slam dunk or anything, but I just haven't heard anything that says Mason has any kind of edge over TDP.

I felt a tingle in my plums today and now I see that it must be because this thread was bumped.

Some are saying TDP is on a completely different level than anyone not named CMC.

Is this "RB2" stuff between these two players incorporating the fact that E. Mitchell just isn't healthy right now? Because, if healthy (big "if", I know) Mitchell is RB2, right?

I would say almost definitely, but Wingnut thinks SF is so tired of him being injured that he might be a roster clogger and subject to being traded or something like that. I don't know.
Wingnut
Footballguy
Yes. I wouldn't count on Mitchell being available much this season though, so whoever is behind him on the depth chart is gonna get work.
Yep, but thats just my $.02, there is nothing to suggest the team is thinking the same.

One of Mason or Davis-Price isn't making the 53 man roster probably.
JohnnyU
Footballguy
Whoever makes the final 53 between Mason and Davis-Price, we're still looking at a roster clogger in most leagues.
Boston
Footballguy
Yup…they are enticing because both CMac and Mitchell are not the most durable RBs but tough to give up a roster spot when you need two injuries to be relevant.
Wingnut
Footballguy
They're both making the 53 man
JohnnyU
Footballguy
Ok, but who is ahead of who? Both probably won’t be of use for fantasy without a couple of injuries and will eat a roster spot that could be better used.
Wingnut
Footballguy
Lol, you're guess is as good as mine. I've been on the TDP train all camp, and still think he ends up RB3 behind Mitchell, but who knows.
Hot Sauce Guy

If CMC & Mitchell go down it’ll be RBBC.
I have Mason ahead by a nose, but that fumble didn’t help his cause.
Jayded
Footballguy
Off-season comments from his fellow players feel like they explain the quandary - they’re worried he’s that cut that comes back to bite them, yet does stuff like the fumble yesterday.
Feels like he’s caught in limbo of they don’t want to play him but also don’t want anyone else to have him.

One of my leaguemates offered me a 3rd for him mid-rookie draft so I turned him into A.T.Perry.
No ragrets.
Wingnut
Footballguy
Mason? Limbo? Huh?
Well, he didn’t fumble once last year so I don’t think it will negatively impact him. He also looks like his pass receiving has improved.

At the end of Thursday's practice. Shanahan said Mitchell got tripped up and "dinged" his knee. If he can't go, it would be Christian McCaffrey, Jordan Mason and, making his 2023 debut, Ty Davis-Price.

Why does this 4th stringer have 11 pages?
Because any Niners rb with a pulse eventually gets a shot.
ohio#1eaglesfan
Footballguy
2nd string now that Mitchell is unavailable
Gjallarhorn
Footballguy
Yeah, but this guy has been beaten out by like 7 guys over the last two years. I would wager someone like TDP would be the guy if something catastrophic happened to both CMC and Eli. They might even bring in Playoff Lenny at that point.
ffmail4me
Footballguy
Because when this kid has touched the ball, he looks the part. BIG TIME. He's the ultimate deep roster hold. The talent and metrics are there, he just needs the opportunity.
Ministry of Pain

Right on cue
I figured we would see you when Mitchell went down or popped on the injury report.
If Mason does elevate to primary back-up, San Fran is a great running team, make a lot of RBs look good in the Shanahan offense
Mason would be a hangnail away from possibly getting some meaningful touches
Maybe you were early last year and could never have predicted CMC but he is worth keeping an eye on because of the jersey he wears.

LOVE the way this guy runs. Aggressive and efficient runner. Wish my Lion’s had him as a number three. Hope he gets a little more run with Elijah ailing.
Wingnut
Footballguy
7 guys? You mean Mitchell? Cuz that's the only guy who was ahead of him before the CMC trade, and playoff Lenny wouldn't beat out anyone in the 49er RB room.
Gjallarhorn
Footballguy
What? How about Wilson, Mostert, Juice, TDP, Sermon, etc. etc. etc. There is zero chance this guy ever becomes the starting RB/Backup RB in SF. Does this cat have like 7 burner accounts that keep posting and replying to himself?
Wingnut
Footballguy
I'll give you Wilson, but Mostert was gone before Mason was signed as a UDFA, Juice is a FB, Sermon was never above him, and TDP is still below him.
49ers RB aren't your strong suit.
