Jordan Mason Scores Touchdown As Injury Replacement

Jordan Mason Scores Touchdown As Injury Replacement

one year ago

San Francisco 49ers running back Jordan Mason generated some fantasy production on Sunday in a 19-17 loss at the Cleveland Browns. Starter Christian McCaffrey (oblique) left the game in the third quarter, leaving Mason and Elijah Mitchell to take over backfield duties. Mason finished the game with five carries for 27 yards, including a crucial fourth-quarter eight-yard touchdown run to give San Francisco the lead. He was not targeted in the passing game. It's unclear why Mason out-touched Mitchell five-to-two in the game, creating a murky situation moving forward. Fantasy managers hitting the waiver wire in anticipation of McCaffrey potentially missing next week shouldn't assume that Mason has leapfrogged Mitchell on the depth chart, as San Francisco may have been trying to protect Mitchell's still-recovering knee injury. The 49ers will travel to Minnesota to face the Vikings in a Monday night Week 7 matchup.
