Should I Drop Jordan Mason? Fantasy Football Outlook For Week 14

San Francisco 49ers running back Jordan Mason looked like a league winner earlier in the year. The former Georgia Tech star was outstanding over the first two weeks, totaling at least 100 rushing yards and a touchdown in both games.

Unfortunately, he started to struggle over the hot start. Mason averaged 9.9 half-point PPR fantasy points per game from Week 3 through Week 8, totaling over 90 rushing yards once. More importantly, Christian McCaffrey returned to the lineup after the Week 9 bye.

Should I Drop Jordan Mason?

The third-year pro has struggled with injuries this season, leaving multiple games early. While Mason hasn’t missed a game this year, the injuries have impacted his play.

Unfortunately, the veteran suffered a high-ankle sprain in the Week 13 loss to the Buffalo Bills. While the team hasn’t placed him on injured reserve, Mason is expected to miss the rest of the regular season with the injury. Therefore, fantasy players can drop him in all redraft leagues.

Who Can I Add Off The Waiver Wire?

Ideally, fantasy players managed to grab Isaac Guerendo off the waiver wire earlier this week with McCaffrey (knee) and Mason (ankle) out for the rest of the regular season. The rookie running back has been outstanding in limited action.

However, Sincere McCormick is a solid consolation prize for fantasy players who missed out on Guerendo. The Las Vegas Raiders running back has played well the past two weeks with Alexander Mattison (ankle) and Zamir White (quad) out of the lineup.

McCormick has 17 rushing attempts for 97 yards and 10.8 half-point PPR fantasy points over the past two weeks, leading the Raiders in both. Head coach Antonio Pierce told the media that McCormick deserves more reps moving forward after averaging 5.7 yards per rushing attempt the past two weeks. He is worth adding off the waiver wire in all standard-size leagues.

#Raiders HC Antonio Pierce on Sincere McCormick:

“This is a dude, he’s earning more reps. He’ll keep playing for us. And the way he’s running — tough, physical, hard-nosed, bouncing off, fresh legs… His style of play and physicality really showed up.”
