Jordan Mason News
Thursday, July 23, 9:29 AM
Across 16 games (five starts) in 2025, Minnesota Vikings running back Jordan Mason recorded 809 scrimmage yards and six touchdowns on 173 touches. The 27-year-old's fantasy upside in PPR scoring formats is limited by his lack of pass-game involvement, as he's recorded just 28 catches across 61 career NFL games. Mason is also likely to split reps for the second straight season in 2026 with veteran Vikings back Aaron Jones Sr. However, Jones Sr. is entering his age-32 campaign and has missed at least five games in two out of the last three years. At this point in their respective careers, Mason profiles as the better between-the-tackles rusher and could take over as Minnesota's primary early-down back. The overall health of the Vikings offense should be improved this year as well, as the team added veteran quarterback Kyler Murray over the offseason. At his current redraft ADP of RB43, Mason could be a value pick for fantasy managers.

Blake Corum News
Sunday, July 19, 8:13 AM
Los Angeles Rams running back Blake Corum was one of the league's most efficient runners to close the 2025 season, averaging over 6.4 yards per carry and scoring five touchdowns over his final six games while pacing as the RB17. While early offseason chatter had some projecting closer to a 50/50 split between him and Kyren Williams in 2026, those talks have since cooled, and the two Rams backs now find themselves separated by nearly six rounds in current ADP. While the backfield will remain primarily Williams' as long as he stays healthy, there is still something to be said for the Rams wanting to keep him fresh throughout the year, and with their chips pushed squarely in for another Super Bowl run, the late-season availability of their Pro Bowl running back should be seen as a top priority. A slam dunk pick in best ball drafts, Corum will still have his worth in managed formats, and as RotoBaller's RB33, he could easily play to his value in a standalone role while possessing league-winning potential as Williams' direct handcuff.
