Jordan Mason Poised for Increased Role if Aaron Jones Sits

Minnesota Vikings running back Jordan Mason is positioned for an expanded role if teammate Aaron Jones misses time due to his shoulder injury. In the four games Jones previously missed this season, Mason averaged 15.0 carries, 1.8 targets, and 75.3 total yards. He could serve as the primary back for the remainder of the season, especially given Minnesota's favorable matchups. Mason is currently rostered in 69% of Yahoo leagues.
