Jordan Mason Regains Role, Watches Brock Purdy Vulture TDs

Niners RB Jordan Mason returned from his Week 6 shoulder injury to reclaim control of the backfield in Sunday's loss to the Chiefs. He played 85.7% of offensive snaps, trailing only QB Brock Purdy and TE George Kittle among skill-position 49ers. Mason also handled 14 of 15 HB carries -- FB Kyle Juszczyk had one as well -- and garnered 2 of 3 targets for the position. Mason ran 27 routes (73% share) to just 3 for Isaac Guerendo. Purdy killed Mason's fantasy line, though, by vulturing a pair of 1-yard TD plunges.

2024 Fantasy Football Impact

That's frustrating, but it also makes just 5 rushing scores in 28 regular-season starts for Purdy. So it's tough to complain too much.

Purdy has increased his rushing overall this season, though, from 2.4 attempts and 9.0 yards per game to 4.9 and 22.0, respectively.

The biggest challenge to Mason's fantasy outlook, though, is of course Christian McCaffrey's expected return for Week 10.

Mason gets Dallas in Week 8, with a bye to follow.
