Who Should I Start? Jordan Mason or De'Von Achane

Minnesota Vikings running back Jordan Mason rushed for 52 yards and a touchdown as his squad crushed Washington 31-0 on Sunday. The first-year Viking was involved early by capping a 98-yard scoring drive with an eight-yard touchdown in the second quarter that established a 14-0 cushion that set up Minnesota to control the game the rest of the way. Encouragingly for managers who roster Mason, the split between Mason and Jones was close, as the pair took 11 and 14 carries, respectively. The Vikings have been a volatile, unpredictable team this year, but Mason is doing just enough to deserve week-to-week lineup consideration. He'll see another strong matchup when Minnesota travels to Dallas in Week 15.

Miami Dolphins running back De'Von Achane (rib) did not suffer any fractures during Sunday's Week 14 win over the New York Jets. He exited in the second quarter and did not return, but head coach Mike McDaniel said that Achane could have come back into the game if necessary. Instead, he was replaced by Jaylen Wright, who exploded for 24 carries, 107 rushing yards, and one rushing touchdown. McDaniel's comments seem to indicate that Achane has a good chance to play against the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 15, but fantasy managers should still check back for updates as the upcoming week progresses.
