STACKED’s take

NeutralProjection

Mason likely RB1 but history shows inconsistency; improved line and matchup offer upside.

Mason is likely to assume the RB1 role with Aaron Jones Sr. managing a knee injury. The source notes that while the offensive line is better and Detroit has allowed two 100-yard rushers, Mason's history is concerning: in Weeks 3-7 last year while Jones was out, he averaged 15 carries per game but had two games with zero targets and three outings with less than 60 yards. However, the improved offensive line and favorable matchup could help him crack the fantasy top 12.
