Jordan Mason has forced 42 missed tackles this season, 10 more than the next closest player (Derrick Henry, 32).

Loses first fumble of career
Mason rushed 14 times for 89 yards and caught his lone target of nine yards while coughing up a fumble in Sunday's 24-23 loss to Arizona.
Analysis: Mason lost a fumble on his final touch in the fourth quarter of Sunday's narrow loss. The rare folly cost San Francisco dearly in the defeat, but it was also the third-year back's first lost fumble of his career. Mason still produced well on a per-touch basis and remains the unquestioned starter until Christian McCaffrey (calf/Achilles) returns from injury. A road tilt against the Seahawks on Thursday Night Football is on tap for Mason and the 49ers in Week 6.

Continues to deliver in fantasy
Mason rattled off 24 carries for 123 yards and a touchdown while adding 37 receiving yards on two receptions (three targets) in Sunday's 30-13 win over New England.
Analysis: Mason continued to dominated the backfield touches in San Francisco sans starter Christian McCaffrey (calf/Achilles). The only other active running back to receive a carry in Sunday's run-heavy gameplan was rookie Isaac Guerendo, who fumbled that carry away for the 49ers' lone turnover. Mason has provided 20+ carries, 100+ rushing yards with at least one touchdown in three of his four starts. The Georgia Tech product will make at least two more starts while CMC continues to recover on injured…read more

Nets 88 yards on 21 touches
Mason rushed 19 times for 77 yards and caught both of his targets for 11 yards in Sunday's 27-24 loss to the Rams.
Analysis: Mason failed to extend his touchdown streak to three games in Sunday's loss, but the fill-in starter still managed to provide fantasy managers with solid production despite his team's loss. The 25-year-old has rushed for 324 yards and two touchdowns while filling in for Christian McCaffrey (calf/Achilles) through three games this season. Mason remains a strong fantasy play heading into Sunday's tilt against the Patriots.

Drops 20/100/1 line in second start
Mason took 20 carries for 100 yards and a rushing touchdown while bringing in his lone target for four yards in Sunday's 23-17 loss to Minnesota.
Analysis: Mason followed up his impressive Week 1 fantasy performance (28/147/1) with another game of 100-plus rushing yards and his second touchdown of the season. Savvy fantasy managers who snagged Mason when starter Christian McCaffrey (calf/Achilles) and backup Elijah Mitchell (knee) were ruled out prior to last week's win over the Jets have been rewarded handsomely. What appeared to be a hot short-term add is beginning to look like an league-changing acquisition after the aforementioned CMC was…read more

Clear avenue to more carries
Mason is expected to take over as the 49ers' lead back after Christian McCaffrey (Achilles/calf) was placed on injured reserve Saturday, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: With Elijah Mitchell out for the season and McCaffrey out until at least Week 6, the San Francisco backfield looks like it'll belong to Mason, who carried 28 times for 147 yards and a touchdown while adding a five-yard reception in the 49ers' Week 1 win over the Jets. Receiver Deebo Samuel (eight carries in Week 1) is also likely to see more involvement on the ground in McCaffrey's absence, while rookie Isaac Guerendo could also become more of a factor in a change-of-pace role once he's further…read more

In line for more starts
Mason is slated to serve as the 49ers' No. 1 running back Sunday at Minnesota and beyond with the news that Christian McCaffrey (calf/Achilles) is a candidate for injured reserve, Matt Barrows of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Coach Kyle Shanahan relayed Friday that San Francisco is considering an IR stint for McCaffrey due to the Achilles tendinitis that is plaguing him at the moment. Shanahan also noted that Thursday's practice was the worst for McCaffrey so far in terms of pain, according to Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com. The 49ers have yet to make a decision on McCaffrey past this weekend, but Mason at the very least will start Sunday on the heels of 29 touches for 152 yards from scrimmage and one rushing TD in the…read more

Monster line in spot start
Mason carried the ball 28 times for 147 yards and a touchdown while catching one pass for five yards in Monday's 32-19 win over the Jets.
Analysis: Mason filled in for injured starter Christian McCaffrey (calf/Achilles) in Monday's season opener and took full advantage of the opportunity with a career night against a talented defensive unit. The Georgia Tech product couldn't replicate CMC's receiving production, but he averaged 5.3 yards per attempt as a rusher while finishing with the highest fantasy score for San Francisco in the team's first win of the regular season. McCaffrey's absence seems to be a precautionary move by the team, so…read more

In line to start on MNF
Mason is slated to be the 49ers' starting running back Monday versus the Jets with Christian McCaffrey (calf/Achilles) inactive for the contest, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Mason will step in for McCaffrey for at least one game due to the calf/Achilles injury that has plagued the latter since early August. In 33 regular-season games in his two-year career, Mason has averaged 5.6 YPC on 83 rushes, hauled in three of four targets for 31 yards and scored four rushing TDs. Elsewhere in the backfield, Isaac Guerendo and Patrick Taylor are the 49ers' other available options.

Replacing Mitchell as No. 2 RB
Mason's backfield mate Elijah Mitchell (undisclosed) was placed on season-ending injured reserve Tuesday, David Lombardi of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Reports of Mason challenging Mitchell for the second spot on the depth chart actually predate Mitchell's injury troubles this summer, with the Niners apparently impressed by Mason's combination of size (5-foot-11, 223 pounds) and passing-down skills. He's no match for Mitchell in terms of speed, but that may not matter much for fantasy if Mason ever finds himself in the starting lineup under coach Kyle Shanahan. While Christian McCaffrey (calf) seems to be on track for Week 1 against the Jets,…read more

Scores in preseason return
Mason (hip) took eight carries for 42 yards and a touchdown in Friday's preseason finale against the Raiders.
Analysis: Mason returned from a minor hip issue that cost him the 49ers' previous preseason game. The 25-year-old started the contest with Christian McCaffrey (calf) and Elijah Mitchell (hamstring) sitting out with minor injuries. This is the second strong showing from Mason this preseason, as the veteran backup continues to build a case to challenge Mitchell's status at No. 2 on the RB depth chart. This will be McCaffrey's show once the regular season kicks off, but Mason is a name to remember in the…read more

Returns to practice Wednesday
Mason (hip) is participating in Wednesday's practice, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Mason missed last Sunday's preseason game against the Saints due to hip soreness, but his return to practice could set the stage for him to play in Friday's exhibition finale versus the Raiders. Elijah Mitchell (hamstring) also resumed practicing Wednesday, and Isaac Guerendo (hamstring) did so Tuesday, so San Francisco's backfield suddenly looks healthy behind top back Christian McCaffrey (calf), who remains on track for Week 1.

Has hip soreness
Coach Kyle Shanahan clarified after Sunday's 16-10 preseason win over the Saints that Mason sat out due to hip soreness Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
Analysis: The team doesn't sound overly concerned with Mason's injury, as he appears healthier than the team's other top running backs at the moment, but he got the night off Sunday nonetheless. Mason's next chance to take the field will come in Friday's preseason finale against the Raiders.

Sitting out with minor injury
Mason (undisclosed) won't play in Sunday's preseason game against the Saints, Eric Branch of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
Analysis: Mason is dealing with what is being described as a minor injury. The 49ers are thin at running back with Christian McCaffrey (calf), Elijah Mitchell (hamstring) and Isaac Guerendo (hamstring) all banged up as well, leaving more opportunities for Patrick Taylor, Matt Breida, Cody Schrader and Ke'Shawn Vaughn.

Star of opening drive Saturday
Mason rushed six times for 34 yards and a touchdown in Saturday's preseason tilt against the Titans.
Analysis: Unquestioned starter Christian McCaffrey (calf) sat out Saturday's preseason opener along with the rest of San Francisco's star players, affording Mason the opportunity to start the team's exhibition opener against Tennessee. The 25-year-old was featured heavily on the 49ers' opening drive and wound up scoring the only first-half touchdown for his club. Mason's strong start to the preseason schedule has the running back in a position to seize the primary backup role behind CMC, with Elijah…read more

Working with starters
Mason is getting regular first-team reps while Christian McCaffrey (calf) and Elijah Mitchell (hamstring) recover from injuries, Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
Analysis: The opportunity is particularly interesting because there were reports of Mason challenging Mitchell for the second spot on the depth chart even before Mitchell and McCaffrey suffered their respective injuries. Mitchell's speed and running ability are proven commodities, but Mason may have advantages in terms of pass blocking and receiving skills, and nearly any player has the edge over Mitchell when it comes to durability. Maiocco notes that Mason has "greatly improved" his route-running and…read more

Could push Elijah Mitchell
Mason has made a strong impression on coach Kyle Shanahan this summer and could challenge Elijah Mitchell for the No. 2 RB role, Jordan Elliott of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
Analysis: Mason initially made the team as an undrafted rookie in 2022 and has since seen action in 33 of 34 regular-season games, logging 181 snaps on offense and 494 on special teams. He's thus far remained behind Mitchell when both have been healthy, but it's possible the Niners would prefer Mason in the backup role due to his advantages in size (5-foot-11, 223 pounds), durability and blocking. Mitchell is much faster but also smaller (5-foot-10, 200 pounds), and he has nearly as many missed games…read more

Gains 48 yards as RB2
Mason took six carries for 36 yards and caught his only target for 12 yards in Sunday's 21-20 loss to the Rams.
Analysis: MVP hopeful Christian McCaffrey (calf) was rested Week 18, so primary backup Elijah Mitchell started Sunday's tilt. Mason wound up logging 27 snaps on offense (44 percent) to Mitchell's 32 (52 percent). While both tailbacks nearly split McCaffrey's playing time Sunday, Mitchell (14-52-1) wound up having more plays executed for him and also nabbed the only touchdown the backfield duo would produce in the loss. Mason wraps up the 2023 campaign with numbers (40-206-3) similar to his rookie year…read more

Could be busy Sunday
Mason could get significant playing time at running back Sunday against the Rams, Matt Barrows of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Mason has mostly played special teams this season,, sitting behind Christian McCaffrey (calf) and Elijah Mitchell on the depth chart for offense when the latter two backs have both been healthy. Week 18 may be another story, however, as the Niners have locked up the top playoff seed in the NFC and won't have McCaffrey available for their final regular-season game. The calf injury McCaffrey suffered Week 17 might also make the team more cautious with his top backup, Mitchell, who has a lengthy…read more

Relegated to third RB
Mason had two carries for three yards and was not targeted as a receiver in Sunday's 27-10 win over Washington.
Analysis: Mason was relegated to third on San Francisco's RB depth chart following the return of Elijah Mitchell (knee) on Sunday. The latter wound up posting a strong rushing line (17-80-1) against the Commanders in relief of Christian McCaffrey (calf). McCaffrey's injury currently is considered minor, but the MVP candidate still could sit out Week 18 with the 49ers already locking up the No. 1 seed in the NFC. In that scenario, Mason would slide into the No. 2 role with Mitchell likely serving as the…read more

Mason (illness) is active for Sunday's game against the Commanders.

Misses practice due to illness
Mason (illness) did not practice Thursday, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Mason wasn't on San Francisco's injury report for the first day of Week 17 prep, so he appears to have come down with an illness late Wednesday or early Thursday. The second-year running back was limited to special-teams work last Monday against Baltimore after logging nine carries for 40 yards and a touchdown over his previous two games. Elijah Mitchell (knee) is expected to return from a three-game absence Sunday versus the Commanders, so Mason could again see limited -- if any -- work on…read more

Limited to special teams
Mason did not see the field on offense Monday, finishing with 12 snaps on special teams in a 33-19 loss to Baltimore.
Analysis: The 49ers were playing catch-up for most of this one-sided affair, which resulted in star tailback Christian McCaffrey playing 100 percent of the offensive snaps. This left Mason -- who has been operating as the No. 2 back with Elijah Mitchell (knee) sidelined -- with zero touches after averaging 3.7 carries and 16.7 rushing yards over San Francisco's last three games. Assuming the NFC's top seed does not get blown out by the 4-11 Commanders on Sunday, Mason should resume his role on offense…read more

Logs 13 snaps Sunday
Mason had five rushing attempts for 20 yards and wasn't targeted as a receiver in Sunday's 45-29 win over Arizona.
Analysis: Mason wound up logging 13 snaps on offense (23 percent) backing up Christian McCaffrey as normal backup Elijah Mitchell (knee) remained sidelined. Mason finished with 20 rushing yards for the second week in a row, but he was unable to punch in a touchdown like he did against Seattle. The 25-year-old should continue to see a handful of touches against the Ravens next Monday.

Scores TD spelling CMC
Mason had four carries for 20 yards and a touchdown and a reception of six yards in Sunday's 28-16 win over the Seahawks.
Analysis: The special teams ace elevated to No. 2 on San Francisco's running back depth chart after Elijah Mitchell (knee) was unable to suit up against the Seahawks. Mason quickly took advantage of the opportunity when he scored a touchdown on the second play from scrimmage Sunday. His three-yard score came on the heels of an electric 72-yard run from starter Christian McCaffrey, who likely needed a play off to catch his breath after sprinting nearly the length of the field. Mason wound up playing just…read more

Should serve as No. 2 back
Mason is in line to serve as the No. 2 running back for Sunday's Week 14 game against the Seahawks with Elijah Mitchell (knee) ruled inactive for the contest.
Analysis: Mason has logged just two carries since Week 6, but he'll be in line to handle any complementary work available behind Christian McCaffrey versus Seattle. Mason has been efficient with his limited opportunities in his second season, averaging 5.5 yards per carry on his 23 totes while also recording a pair of rushing touchdowns and adding a 13-yard reception.

Mason (hamstring) is active Sunday against the Eagles.

Deemed questionable
Mason (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Eagles, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Mason has been restricted to special teams of late and isn't likely to get any playing time on offense in a crucial NFC showdown unless Christian McCaffrey or Elijah Mitchell suffers an injury. If Mason doesn't end up playing, it'll merely impact the 49ers' special teams units, where he's taken double-digit snaps every week this year.

Bothered by hamstring
Mason missed Wednesday's practice with a hamstring injury, Matt Barrows of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Mason hasn't recorded a carry or drawn a target since Week 6 and has played just five snaps on offense over the last five games, but he remains a key member of San Francisco's special teams units, where he's logged double-digit snaps every contest this season. If Mason is unable to overcome his hamstring injury in time for Sunday's game in Philadelphia, Tyrion Davis-Price would step in as the No. 3 back behind Christian McCaffrey and Elijah Mitchell.

No offensive snaps Monday
Mason did not see the field on offense while logging 11 snaps on special teams in Monday's 22-17 loss to the Vikings.
Analysis: Mason was surprisingly not used on offense even with starter Christian McCaffrey (oblique) playing through a lingering injury suffered in last week's loss to Cleveland. The latter wound up playing 100 percent of San Francisco's offensive snaps Monday, and Elijah Mitchell received the only non-CMC carry for San Francisco's backfield.

Scores TD after McCaffrey's injury
Mason rushed five times for 27 yards and a touchdown but wasn't targeted in Sunday's 19-17 loss to the Browns.
Analysis: Mason took over as San Francisco's lead back after Christian McCaffrey (oblique/rib) exited in the second half. The 24-year-old running back out of Georgia Tech gave the 49ers a 17-13 lead with an eight-yard touchdown run in the fourth quarter, but Cleveland responded with a pair of field goals to hand the 49ers their first loss of the season.

Rips off TD in garbage time
Mason rushed 10 times for 69 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 42-10 win over the Cowboys. He failed to bring in his lone target.
Analysis: Elijah Mitchell (knee) remained sidelined for the second week in a row, affording Mason the opportunity to continue operating as the team's No. 2 backfield option. The special teams ace wound up playing 13 snaps on offense (18 percent), most of which came in the closing moments of Sunday's lopsided affair.

Mason rushed three times for 10 yards and caught his lone target for 13 yards in Sunday's 35-16 win over Arizona.
Analysis: Mason was elevated to No. 2 on the depth chart after Elijah Mitchell injured his knee during the practice week. The former wound up playing eight snaps on offense (15 percent) in addition to his usual role on special teams. Christian McCaffrey ran for over 100 yards and scored four of the 49ers' five touchdowns Sunday, leaving little work for Mason despite his elevated role Week 4.

Set for No. 2 role Sunday
Mason is in line to serve as the 49ers' No. 2 running back Sunday against the Cardinals with Elijah Mitchell (knee) listed as questionable but not expected to be active for the contest, David Lombardi of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: The 49ers are also expected to have Tyrion Davis-Price suit up for the first time this season after he was a healthy inactive for the first three games, but he'll likely be ticketed for the No. 3 role while Mason operates as the top backup to lead back Christian McCaffrey.

Limited Wednesday
Mason (foot) was a limited participant in practice Wednesday, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Mason emerged from the 49ers' preseason finale with a sprained foot, but his return to drills Wednesday indicates that he's making progress in his recovery effort. The 49ers backfield is paced by the do-it-all Christian McCaffrey, whose direct backup, Elijah Mitchell, will also get touches on game days as long as he's healthy. As a result, if Mason isn't ready for Sunday's game in Pittsburgh, Tyrion Davis-Price may be the team's third active running back in that contest.

Now, one of the competitors for the No. 3 spot behind Christian McCaffrey and Mitchell is tending to a health concern.

Loses fumble in loss
Mason took nine carries for 59 yards and recorded one catch for 13 yards in Friday's 23-12 preseason loss to the Chargers, but he lost a fumble at the goal line on the opening drive.
Analysis: With Christian McCaffrey and Elijah Mitchell held out, Mason dominated first-team snaps on a night that saw Brock Purdy, Deebo Samuel, Brandon Aiyuk and George Kittle all playing. They faced the Chargers' second-team defense and would've scored 14 points in two drives if not for Mason losing a fumble at the goal line.

Struggles in preseason opener
Mason rushed five times for 17 yards and failed to bring in his only target in Sunday's 34-7 preseason loss against the Raiders.
Analysis: Mason struggled to find running lanes mainly due to poor offensive line play, as none of the three San Francisco backs active Sunday sniffed a 4.0 YPC average. It is worth noting that the undrafted standout from last season didn't get a carry until the 49ers' fifth drive, with Tyrion Davis-Price (9-29-0) starting ahead of him sans Christian McCaffrey (rest) and Elijah Mitchell (hip). With neither back performing well, Mason's spot on the roster is likely still secure. Perhaps the lineup swap…read more

Lining up to be No. 3 back
Mason has been operating as the 49ers' third running back during offseason activities, Jerry McDonald of The San Jose Mercury News reports.
Analysis: Mason's standing on the depth chart shouldn't come as a surprise following his strong showing on special teams and as a reserve option out of the backfield in 2022. The then-undrafted rookie quickly surpassed third-round pick Tyrion Davis-Price on the depth chart, and he appears set to maintain that position as the two battle for spots behind starter Christian McCaffrey and top backup Elijah Mitchell.

Solid rookie showing
Mason finished the 2022 season with 43 carries for 258 yards and a touchdown across 16 regular-season games with San Francisco.
Analysis: Mason was a surprise addition to the active roster out of training camp, and he parlayed that opportunity into a special-teams role to begin the year. The undrafted rookie eventually was called upon to replace injured backups, and he averaged 6.0 yards per carry in his limited action on offense. Mason is signed through the 2024 season, so he figures to operate as the 49ers' third back to open camp behind Christian McCaffrey and Elijah Mitchell (groin).

Sticks in backfield rotation
Mason rushed eight times for 28 yards and wasn't targeted as a receiver in Sunday's 38-13 win over Arizona.
Analysis: The 49ers welcomed back Elijah Mitchell (knee) from injured reserve, but Mason still received 14 snaps on offense in the regular-season finale. The Georgia Tech product did an admirable job backing up Christian McCaffrey in Mitchell's absence this season, racking up 258 yards on 6.0 yards per carry in limited action over the course of his rookie campaign. Mason will likely see his role limited to special-teams duty in the wild-card round matchup with Seattle this weekend with San Francisco's…read more

Reclaims No. 2 role and scores
Mason (hamstring) rushed two times for 13 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 37-34 win over Las Vegas.
Analysis: Mason -- who was limited to special teams due to a hamstring injury last week -- resumed his change-of-pace role behind starter Christian McCaffrey, cashing in one of his two carries for the first touchdown of his career. The undrafted rookie saw significantly fewer touches than he had previously as San Francisco's No. 2 back, but that was likely the result of head coach Kyle Shanahan leaning on McCaffrey in a tight contest. Assuming his hamstring injury is fully healed, Mason could be in line…read more

Cleared from injury report
Mason (hamstring) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Raiders, Jennifer Lee Chan of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
Analysis: Mason suited up with the hamstring injury last week against Washington but only played special teams while Tyrion Davis-Price operated as the No. 2 running back behind Christian McCaffrey. With Mason now off the injury report, a return to the No. 2 role is possible.

Stays limited Thursday
Mason (hamstring) practiced in a limited fashion Thursday, Eric Branch of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
Analysis: Mason only managed 17 snaps on special teams this past Saturday versus the Commanders after his hamstring tightened up on him last Wednesday. With back-to-back capped sessions behind him this week, he doesn't appear to be in the clear on the health front just yet, but Friday's injury report could be the bearer of good news for undrafted rookie. If Mason is able to retake the No. 2 RB role behind Christian McCaffrey (knee) on Sunday in Las Vegas, the former would push fellow first-year player…read more

Officially limited Wednesday
Mason (hamstring) was a limited participant at Wednesday's practice, Eric Branch of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
Analysis: After his hamstring tightened up on him last Wednesday, Mason was limited last Thursday before going down as questionable ahead of Saturday's game against the Commanders. He ended up suiting up for the Week 16 game, but he also was contained to 17 snaps on special teams, as Tyrion Davis-Price handled the running-back reps that didn't go to Christian McCaffrey. There's a chance Mason takes over the No. 2 role out of the 49ers backfield Sunday at Las Vegas, but he may have to get back to a full…read more

Likely to regain No. 2 RB role
San Francisco head coach Kyle Shanahan said Monday that Mason is "doing great" in his recovery from a tight hamstring, per David Lombardi of The Athletic.
Analysis: Mason played in last Saturday's win over Washington but was limited to special teams. Tyrion Davis-Price took over the backup RB role behind Christian McCaffrey in that contest, but Mason is expected to again work behind McCaffrey in Week 17 now that he is showing improvement. Mason had been very effective in his previous three games prior to Saturday, tallying 171 rushing yards on 23 carries.

Limited to special teams Saturday
Mason (hamstring) was active in Saturday's 37-20 win over the Commanders, but he did not receive a carry and logged snaps only on special teams.
Analysis: Mason's hamstring tightened up during practice this week, but he was ultimately cleared before kickoff. Fellow rookie Tyrion Davis-Price -- who was a healthy scratch for the last two weeks -- took over the backup duties behind Christian McCaffrey and finished with 30 yards on nine carries. Perhaps the decision to limit Mason to special teams was a direct result of him missing practice this week due to injury. The Georgia Tech product was excelling at spelling McCaffrey prior to this unexpected…read more

Active in Week 16
Mason (hamstring) is listed as active Saturday against the Commanders, Matt Barrows of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Mason's hamstring tightened up at Wednesday's practice, which resulted in his early departure from that session and limited on-field work Thursday. He subsequently went down as questionable for Week 16 action, but he again will be available to the 49ers offense as Christian McCaffrey's direct backup. Mason has experienced a regular role over the last five games, racking up 32 carries for 210 yards (6.6 YPC).

Questionable for Saturday
Mason (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Saturday's contest versus the Commanders, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: A late-week addition to the 49ers' injury report, Mason relayed to David Lombardi of The Athletic on Thursday that his hamstring tightened up at Wednesday's practice, which resulted in him being removed from that session and ultimately going down as a limited participant to end Week 16 prep. If Mason isn't 100 percent or out Saturday, Tyrion Davis-Price and/or practice squad member Tevin Coleman would be the main candidates to get work behind the 49ers' No. 1 running back Christian McCaffrey.

Rips off huge run
Mason rushed four times for 64 yards in Thursday's 21-13 win over the Seahawks.
Analysis: Mason ripped off a 55-yard run on the 49ers' final drive, stopped one yard short of his first career touchdown. The undrafted rookie actually saw his playing time decrease against Seattle (seven offensive snaps), but he still produced at least 50 rushing yards for the third consecutive week. It is tough to recommend the Georgia Tech product in fantasy when Christian McCaffrey is healthy, but if the latter were to be rested with the NFC West title in hand, then Mason would immediately become a…read more

Strong in backup role
Mason rushed 11 times for 56 yards and was not targeted in Sunday's 35-7 win over the Buccaneers.
Analysis: Mason followed up last week's career high in rushing with another new high-water mark in yards. The undrafted rookie absorbed nearly all of Elijah Mitchell's (knee) carries over the last two weeks, providing some low-end fantasy value for those in deeper formats. Mason still is the clear No. 2 behind workhorse Christian McCaffrey, who went for 153 combined yards and two touchdowns Sunday. Expect the Georgia Tech product to see a similar workload in a soft matchup against the Seahawks on…read more

Career game Sunday
Mason rushed eight times for 51 yards in Sunday's 33-17 win over the Dolphins.
Analysis: Mason took on a larger offensive role sans Elijah Mitchell (knee) as expected, setting new career marks in carries and rushing yards. The Georgia Tech product looked sharp in limited action, putting his downhill running style on display. Christian McCaffrey still dominated the workload, producing 146 yards and a touchdown on 25 combined touches. CMC has a poor injury history and entered Sunday's contest with a balky knee, so Mason is worth stashing for fantasy managers with the luxury to do so.…read more

Could take over backup role
Mason rushed five times for 25 yards in Sunday's 13-0 win over the Saints.
Analysis: Mason was used on the final drive of the game with the 49ers up multiple scores for the second week in a row. Unlike last week's garbage time appearance against the Cardinals, the undrafted rookie was actually needed after No. 2 back Elijah Mitchell (knee) went down late in this contest. Starter Christian McCaffrey was dealing with knee soreness as well, but the former's is expected to be more serious. It sounds like Mitchell will be forced to miss some time again, and CMC doesn't have the…read more

Gets four carries in garbage time
Mason rushed four times for 14 yards in Sunday's 38-10 win over the Cardinals.
Analysis: Mason was able to get some offensive run in garbage time after serving almost exclusively on special teams this season. The carries and yardage both represented new highs for the undrafted rookie. Mason isn't likely to see his role change when the 49ers take on the Saints on Sunday.

Serves in special-teams role
Mason logged 19 snaps on special teams and was not used on offense in Sunday's 22-16 win over the Chargers.
Analysis: Mason returned to action after being deployed as a healthy scratch last game, effectively swapping spots on the depth chart with Tyrion Davis-Price (healthy scratch). The 49ers welcomed back Elijah Mitchell (knee) back this week, so the rookie wasn't asked to do more than serve on special teams. Mason carries no fantasy value heading into a Week 11 tilt against the Cardinals next Monday.

Usurped by veteran backup
Mason logged 15 snaps on special teams and did not receive a touch in Sunday's 37-15 win over the Panthers.
Analysis: The 49ers signed an old friend, Tevin Coleman, to back up Jeff Wilson for the past two weeks, effectively pushing Mason further down the depth chart. It is still unclear what the team's plan for the undrafted rookie is, as they promoted him to the active roster over players with higher pedigree and more experience, only to give him one carry through five active games. Even with San Francisco's backfield decimated by injury, Mason remains a non-factor in his current role on special teams.

Not part of offense in win
Mason failed to record a single rushing attempt in Monday's 24-9 win over the Rams.
Analysis: Mason did not play any offensive snaps Monday. Instead, the rookie running back saw the field for 17 snaps on special teams. Meanwhile, starter Jeff Wilson handled almost all of the team's work out of the backfield with 33 offensive snaps, ceding one carry to fellow veteran Tevin Coleman. It appeared Mason would have the opportunity to see increased involvement in the running game after injuries to both Elijah Mitchell (knee) and Tyrion Davis-Price (ankle), but that just hasn't come to…read more

Gets one carry as backup
Mason received one carry for seven yards in Sunday's 11-10 loss to Denver.
Analysis: Mason has served as the primary backup to starter Jeff Wilson (12 carries for 75 yards) with rookie Tyrion Davis-Price (ankle) set to miss several weeks of action. The undrafted rookie only saw five snaps on offense (nine percent) compared to Wilson's 41 snaps, which shows the lack of trust head coach Kyle Shanahan has in Mason as an offensive option. Veteran Marlon Mack -- who was promoted from the practice squad prior to Sunday's contest -- only saw three snaps on special teams. Mason…read more

Injury opens up No. 2 job
Mason will take over the No. 2 spot on the 49ers' running back depth chart following the news that Tyrion Davis-Price (ankle) will miss several weeks, Jennifer Lee Chan of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
Analysis: Davis-Price -- who appeared to beat the undrafted Mason for the No. 2 job in practice last week -- suffered the injury late in Sunday's 27-7 win over Seattle. Mason served as the third active back and did not receive a touch (eight snaps on special teams), so it's hard to get excited about the undrafted rookie's new elevated role. Chan also added that practice squad veteran Marlon Mack is a candidate to be elevated to the active roster, so he could leapfrog the less-experienced Mason. However…read more

Will compete for No. 2 job
Mason will compete with Tyrion Davis-Price during team practices this week to see who will serve as Jeff Wilson's backup following the announcement that Elijah Mitchell (knee) will miss a minimum of eight weeks, Matt Barrows of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Barrows added that the two rookies already had been competing in camp, and that's why Davis-Price was a healthy scratch and Mason served as the third active back Week 1. With the veteran Wilson announced as the starter, he becomes the priority add for those in need of running back help. Traditionally, head coach Kyle Shanahan prefers to use a two-back approach to his run-heavy schemes, so whoever wins this marginally important job battle could generate some fantasy value over the course of the…read more

Despite his unheralded rise up the running back pecking order in San Francisco, head coach Kyle Shanahan failed to trust the rookie on the field, despite starter Elijah Mitchell (knee) going down early and playing just 17 snaps.

Analysis: Barring any changes to the roster heading into the Sept. 11 season opener at Chicago, Mason will be one of five running backs for the 49ers. The undrafted rookie out of Georgia Tech earned his spot by leading the 49ers in rushing this preseason, averaging 4.9 yards per carry while totaling 94 yards on the ground. He won't get much run early in the season due to the depth San Francisco carries at the position. That said, Elijah Mitchell (knee) -- who is expected to be ready by Week 1 -- comes…read more
