BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues
ROSTERED IN: 13% of Leagues
ANALYSIS: The knee injury that was sustained by Elijah Mitchell in Week 12 has been just the most recent development that had forced the 49ers to reconfigure the touch distribution within their backfield.
Despite conjecture that San Francisco’s third-round selection Tyrion Davis-Price could be elevated into a rotation with Christian McCaffrey due to Mitchell’s absence, it is undrafted free-agent Jordan Mason who has secured that responsibility.
Mason has now accumulated 24 rushing attempts and 132 rushing yards since Week 12. He has also established season-highs in each of his last two outings after accumulating eight rushing attempts and 51 rushing yards in Week 12, then exceeding those numbers when the 49ers hosted Tampa Bay in Week 14 (11 carries/56 rushing yards).
His usage and output versus the Buccaneers were enhanced by San Francisco’s blowout win. However, he was the only back besides McCaffrey to register a touch and has remained the preferred RB2 option of Kyle Shanahan since Mitchell’s most recent injury.
Mason would seize a substantial workload if McCaffrey’s workload would be managed or if McCaffrey would be sidelined during San Francisco’s upcoming matchups. That provides the rationale for securing him this week.
