Jordan Mason News
Thursday, August 20, 5:14 AM
Minnesota Vikings running back Jordan Mason has been one of the top performers in Vikings' camp, according to The Athletic's Alec Lewis. Despite continuing to share work with Aaron Jones, Mason has been able to show off good burst and is fitting well into the offense. He ripped off a long run in the joint practice against the Ravens on Wednesday and could earn an expanded role if he continues to mesh well with new quarterback Kyler Murray. In addition to the new QB, the Vikings overhauled the outside zone run scheme to be closer to what Mason excelled in during his time in San Francisco. After running for 758 yards and six touchdowns last year, Mason could be even more effective in his second season with the Vikings. He's currently ranked as the No. 37 RB in RotoBaller's rankings, but the reports from camp have him on the rise, with the potential to outperform that rating if he can claim a larger portion of the timeshare.

Jadarian Price News
Sunday, August 23, 8:35 AM
Seattle Seahawks rookie first-round running back Jadarian Price will not play in Sunday's preseason game against the Tennessee Titans, according to Gregg Bell of The Tacoma News Tribune. The Seahawks also plan to keep Price out of their preseason finale next Friday against the Kansas City Chiefs. Bell writes that head coach Mike Macdonald and general manager John Schneider have seen enough of Price's speed, decisiveness in cutting into outside-zone run gaps, and his pass-catching to know that he's invaluable, especially with Zach Charbonnet (knee) not ready for the start of the regular season. Price also missed a week in August with what was being called upper-leg soreness, and Seattle continues to be extremely cautious with the star RB from Notre Dame. Even though the Seahawks listed George Holani as the RB1 on their preseason depth chart, the team's decision to hold Price out of preseason action confirms that the 22-year-old will be a key part of their backfield right away. At worst, Price should be considered a low-end RB2 target with upside in upcoming fantasy football drafts.
