Why Jordan Mason needs to be on your roster for Week 2

Jordan Mason played incredible on Monday night's game against the New York Jets. He was only able to do this due to the fact that the 49ers star running back Christian McCaffrey, was out with an achilles and calf injury that angered a lot of fantasy owners, as the news wasn't broken to them until about 2 hours until the game started. In this article, we will be going over why you NEED to add Jordan Mason ahead of Week 2, before it's too late.

Christian McCaffrey's injury is only getting worse since he was ruled out for the 49ers game on Monday Night Football vs the New York Jets. Kyle Shanahan said earlier this week that if it was a playoff game, Christian would've played, but that they are taking it slower. Our experts predict that Christian McCaffrey will NOT play this weekend against the Minnesota Vikings. The 49ers PR team and medical staff stated that McCaffrey's achilles is actually hurting more than his calf now, which is better news since he has already had multiple ankle and calf strains during his career.

Jordan Mason quite literally went off on Monday night and played the best game of his short career. He had 28 carries for 147 rushing yards and one touchdown and helped the team in a much needed win over the Jets. He is second in the league in carries and rushing yards after Week One, showing how Shanahan will use him almost as much as he used McCaffrey. 

In conclusion, the reason you need to pick up Mason this week is because he will used almost exactly as much as last week, and against a poor run defense in the Vikings, anything can happen. Don't be surprised if Mason rushes for over 150 yards and picks up a touchdown or two along the way. Mason's rostered percentage has already went up from 15% to 76%, so you'll need to add him rapidly before someone else in your league does.
