Jordan Mason Fantasy Football Outlook (2025)

When the Vikings traded for Jordan Mason in the offseason, they immediately gave him a two-year deal that includes more than $7 million in guaranteed money, suggesting that they have plans for him. With Christian McCaffrey sidelined at the start of the 2024 season, Mason averaged 107 rushing yards for the 49ers over the first five games of the season (before getting hurt himself), 120 scrimmage yards per game, and 5.1 yards per carry. The Vikings' running scheme uses a lot of outside zone, which is right up Mason's alley. Mason could have some stand-alone value this season, and he'd become immensely valuable if anything happened to 30-year-old Vikings RB Aaron Jones.
