Jordan Mason Projected as Vikings' Lead Back

Vikings reporter Matthew Coller projects Jordan Mason to take over as the team's "bell cow" running back this season. Citing the current career stages of the Vikings' backfield, Coller predicts Mason could surpass Aaron Jones on the depth chart and reach the 1,010-yard rushing mark. This outlook positions Mason as a potential breakout candidate for Minnesota, with expectations for him to command a significant share of the team's rushing attempts throughout the 2026 season.
