The San Francisco 49ers will face the Buffalo Bills in Week 13. Here’s the latest fantasy football news and advice to help you with your lineups this week and moving forward, especially regarding RB Jordan Mason.
Is Jordan Mason Playing in Week 13?
Mason is not listed on the injury report this week, so barring any setbacks, he is on track to play this weekend.
We’ll continue to monitor the 49ers injury report. You can also visit and bookmark our NFL Injury Tracker and Fantasy News Tracker for the latest updates.
Should You Start or Sit Jordan Mason in Week 13?
Mason has been on the field for just 8.5% of San Francisco’s offensive snaps since Christian McCaffrey returned and has no path to earning more work outside of an injury to the team’s starter.
With their season on the line, the 49ers are likely to ride McCaffrey as hard now as ever, and while that doesn’t mean anything for Mason this week, every touch added to a role increases health risk; that is why I’d hold onto Mason if you have the space as we prepare for the stretch run.
If the 49ers fall this week, do they try to manage McCaffrey and make sure he leaves the season in one piece? That might be overthinking things, but it’s possible, and that would make Mason an impact player during the fantasy postseason.
