Jordan Mason Week 8 Outlook - Cowboys at 49ers

By Mick Ciallela (Fantrax), Thu, Oct 24th 2024, 2:14am EDT

Unfortunately, it looks like Jordan Mason is limping towards the finish line as his time as a fantasy RB1 appears to be coming to a close. Mason has finished outside the top 24 in three consecutive weeks and four of his last five games. He should be able to turn that around in Week 8 when San Francisco hosts the Dallas Cowboys. Dallas ranks 29th in DVOA versus the run while ranking dead last in DVOA versus running backs as wide receivers. Mason is not necessarily a threat out of the backfield, but he should get all the work he can handle this week. The 49ers are dealing with a litany of injuries and have an upcoming bye. They will probably get Christian McCaffrey back after the bye, which means they can unleash Mason in this game. Mason is dealing with a shoulder injury, so monitor his status heading into Sunday. If he can go without limitations, he could exceed 25 touches in Week 8.
