The Minnesota Vikings and JJ McCarthy got here from behind in dramatic style to beat the Chicago Bears on Sunday evening. It didn’t look good within the first half after which McCarthy threw a pick-six to make it look even worse, however he righted the ship and turned in a stable recreation. It was good to see, particularly you probably have Vikings rostered in your fantasy staff. They want McCarthy to have the ability to run the offense proficiently to maximise fantasy factors throughout the board.
A type of gamers that wants the offense to be clicking is working again Jordan Mason. Mason shares time with Aaron Jones, however seems to have received the early down function, whereas Jones is extra typically in passing downs. The higher the offense, the extra probabilities they need to be within the lead and to run performs close to the aim line. These two issues are what an early down again like Mason wants. And this week a house recreation in opposition to a weaker opponent ought to arrange effectively for him.
Beneath, we’ll go over Jordan Mason’s outlook in fantasy soccer for Week 2.
Fantasy Soccer evaluation: Vikings, RB, Jordan Mason
Mason put up robust numbers in his quick stint with the 49ers final season and parlayed these right into a profitable contract with the Vikings. There may be all the time some fear a few working again shifting on from the extraordinarily environment friendly 49ers offense, however the Vikings appear to love him, as they gave him 15 carries in a recreation they trailed a lot of. He completed the day with 68 yards for a 4.5 yards per carry common. Professional Soccer Focus graded him because the seventh finest working again of the week as effectively.
This week he’ll face a Falcons protection that was good in opposition to the run final season and shut down Bucky Irving for 37 yards on 14 carries. So, we will’t count on him to run roughshod over Atlanta this week. However, as dwelling favorites, I do count on the Vikings to get out to a lead, giving Mason a shot at 15-20 carries. That’s the type of workload we’re searching for from a part-time participant.
Begin or sit in Week 2 PPR leagues?
Begin or sit in Week 2 normal leagues?
Begin. Mason’s lack of receiving work received’t damage him as a lot in normal leagues, so I like him extra, however would flex him out in virtually all league setting this week.
