From the episode

I feel like the fresh legs for Jordan Mason is enough to give him a nod. Whereas Aaron Jones, did I read that he's been playing through an MCL injury? Yes. Sprained MCL in week two. Yeah. So I'm much more interested in starting Mason ahead of Jones.

STACKED’s take

Positive signalRole

Fresh legs give Mason edge over Jones in 50-50 backfield split.

Fresh legs give Mason an edge over Aaron Jones in the 49ers backfield; workload split expected around 50-50 based on Week 1 snap distribution, but Mason preferred as the starter despite both being in low-end RB2/high-end non-PPR flex range.
