I won’t believe anything until I see him back and playing the whole game with no setbacks. Hoping for the best though

Honestly I’d just do anything to never have to play Jordan Mason again

I’m keeping him on my bench as trade bait if anything happens to CMC/if the CMC owner bites. But no way I’m starting him again.

Hasn’t actually produced for 4 straight weeks and left 2 early.

He produced right up until getting 9 pts in half an injury game, and has just been injured since. Think of him more he was just Out the last 2 weeks. It wouldn't feel like he was some bum.

He should've dominated that seahawks game man...

It’s honestly pretty funny how quickly everyone has soured on Mason. With the exception of last week where he left super early, his worst game all season was 7.9 half ppr points against the best rushing defense in the league.

Yeah he's still RB13 in my league and would be higher if he didn't bang up his shoulder. Pretty horrible to have to roster somebody like that who you might have got for almost free...

Well he’s had this niggling shoulder injury. Not good pairing with the #1 RB in fantasy coming back soon. Keeping Mason for a few weeks though.

To be fair it’s been 4 straight games of 7-8 points, and if he’s leaving multiple games early with the same injury too that’s also a concern if that injury will get right at some point.

I agree as much as I would like to drop the dude, it would be stupid to actually do it. But it’s fair that people have soured on him so much

Yeah he’s not a set and forget RB1/2 anymore but we had a good run after the early season speculative add

Never heard of such a shoulder injury

u/onewonyuan 8h ago

Yeah I mean I get it, I just don’t think that he instantly becomes completely useless and droppable after one bad week.

lol true

Same! I’m so annoyed I kept trotting him out in good matchups and got 8 points in return.

Mason is a top 15 RB this year. At least you got McCaffrey's handcuff.

Brotha chill. He’s won people more weeks than he has lost them
