Who Should I Start? Jerry Jeudy or Jordan Mason

Cleveland Browns wide receiver Jerry Jeudy was ecstatic to be involved early and often in last weekend's loss to the New York Jets, crediting the team's new play-caller with his success. "I think Tommy just put me in a great position to be able to make those plays," Jeudy claimed via Akron Beacon Journal's Chris Easterling. "Yeah, I think that's what it is. I was just in the right position." Head coach Kevin Stefanski indeed relinquished play-calling duties to offensive coordinator Tommy Rees ahead of Week 10's outing. For one game, at least, it made an impact, as the sixth-year pro snagged his first touchdown of the campaign while also notching his first appearance with more than five grabs. Jeudy's value is largely tied to rookie quarterback Dillon Gabriel's output, though things are looking up ahead of their matchup with a recently stingy Baltimore Ravens defense.

Minnesota Vikings running back Jordan Mason lacks standalone fantasy value heading into Week 11 against the Chicago Bears. Mason had been able to co-exist alongside Aaron Jones earlier in the year, and he was a must-start when Jones missed time due to injury. However, now that Jones is healthy again, the veteran has taken over the backfield, leaving Mason in an unsteady role. Just last week, the 26-year-old only played one-quarter of the offensive snaps, rushing four times and catching one pass. He was efficient with his opportunities, but it was still impossible for him to carve out fantasy value given his small workload. As long as Jones is healthy, Mason must be viewed as a mere handcuff and shouldn't be started in fantasy lineups this week.
