Should You Start or Sit Jordan Mason in Week 11?
We entered Week 10 hopeful that Jordan Mason’s standalone value would remain while Christian McCaffrey was gradually eased back into action for a team with its eyes set on January.
We were wrong.
Mason was on the field for just 4.9% of San Francisco’s offensive snaps, while CMC carried 13 times and earned seven targets. On the bright side, there is no guessing for Week 11 — Mason is one of the top five handcuff running backs in the NFL and needs to remain rostered. However, he has zero chance of being ranked as a Flex-worthy option as long as McCaffrey is active.
We can discuss Mason’s lack of versatility (just 6.9% of his touches this season have been receptions) and its impact on how the 49ers’ offense functions should he be given the opportunity to lead this backfield another time, he’s nowhere near your starting lineup this week.
