Vikings head coach Kevin O’Connell said Jordan Mason will complement Aaron Jones in the Vikings backfield.

O'Connell noted Mason as being a "1B" compliment to Jones. Last season, the Vikings utilized Ty Chandler and Cam Akers at times in a complimentary role alongside Jones. That will remain the case with Mason next to Jones next season.

The 49ers are trading Jordan Mason to the Vikings.

Minnesota sends a 2026 6th-round pick and pick No. 160 this year to San Francisco in exchange for Mason and pick No. 187. The 49ers had placed a second-round tender on Mason, but they have instead elected to trade him. The Vikings were at times last season attempting to run a committee between Aaron Jones and Ty Chandler, so it'll be worth monitoring to see if the Vikings give Mason the role they were trying to give Chandler last season.

The 49ers have tendered RB Jordan Mason with the second-round tender.

Fantasy Impact

Mason is now a restricted free agent, meaning the 49ers will have a chance to match any offer Mason receives from another team. He tallied 789 rushing yards and three touchdowns in 12 games with the 49ers last season.

Jordan Mason (ankle) has been placed on injured reserve.

The 49ers' backfield is looking thin, as Mason joins Christian McCaffrey on injured reserve. This leaves Isaac Geurendo as the likely lead back, with Patrick Taylor Jr. and Israel Abanikanda also potentially seeing some touches. Geurendo becomes a priority waiver wire addition in all formats.

Jordan Mason (ankle) has been placed on injured reserve by the San Francisco 49ers according to Adam Schefter.

Fantasy Impact

Mason suffered an apparent high-ankle sprain late in San Francisco’s 35-10 blowout loss to the Bills Sunday night. The No. 2 running back joins Christian McCaffrey (knee) on injured reserve after last night’s contest, pushing Isaac Guerendo into the No.1 running back role ahead of Week 14 for head coach Kyle Shanahan.
