Jordan Mason

25-Year-Old Running BackRB
2024 Fantasy Outlook
No player better represents the idea that just about any running back can thrive in Kyle Shanahan's offense than Mason. Undrafted out of Georgia Tech in 2022, Mason has averaged 5.6 yards per carry for the 49ers, and while he lacks breakaway speed, his power and sheer refusal to go down have resulted in some impressive yards after contact in a small sample. The 49ers backfield seemingly got more crowded this offseason when they drafted Isaac Guerendo in the fourth round, but it ended up working out well for Mason when Guerendo and Elijah Mitchell both missed most of training camp with injuries. Mitchell was then place on season-ending injured reserve in late August, leaving Mason as the No. 2 running back behind Christian McCaffrey to start the season. Read Past Outlooks

Eventful day on special teams

Mason took two carries for 13 yards and was not targeted as a receiver in Sunday's 20-17 loss to the Seahawks.
ANALYSIS
Mason saw one less snap on offense than he did a week prior for Christian McCaffrey's return to the lineup, but the backup wound up receiving one additional carry against the Seahawks. The 25-year-old Mason also muffed a kickoff return attempt that careened off his chest, but the long-time special teams gunner fixed his own faux pas by diving to swat the ball out of bounds before Seattle could gain possession. In the scope of fantasy football, Mason's current role spelling CMC for a play or two does not carry much value heading into next Sunday's road tilt against Green Bay.

2023 Fantasy Outlook
Mason fought his way onto the 49ers' 53-man roster last preseason and suited up for 19 of the team's 20 games (including playoffs). The undrafted rookie spent most of the year on special teams, but he was able to get some run as a backup in the second half of the schedule. Mason performed particularly well over a three-game stretch from Weeks 13-15, when he accrued 171 rushing yards on just 23 attempts. The Georgia Tech product should return as San Francisco's third running back in 2023 behind Christian McCaffrey and Elijah Mitchell.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Role vanishes in McCaffrey's return
RBSan Francisco 49ers
November 10, 2024
Mason logged just one carry during Sunday's win over the Buccaneers, a game in which Christian McCaffrey made his season debut and logged 57 snaps, per Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com.
ANALYSIS
McCaffrey, who was returning from a season-opening eight-game absence due to bilateral Achilles tendinitis, was off the field for only eight of the 49ers' plays on offense, leaving little opportunity for Mason. The second-year back had seemingly overcome a nagging shoulder injury during the team's Week 9 bye, but given how sparsely he was utilized Sunday, it remains to be seen how involved he'll be down the stretch as long as McCaffrey remains healthy.
