Who Should I Start? Jordan Mason or Kenny McIntosh

Monday, January 8, 1:46 PM

San Francisco 49ers running back Jordan Mason had the opportunity for a big workload in a Week 18 regular season finale against the Los Angeles Rams on Sunday in a game in which the Niners were resting plenty of players with a first-round bye in the playoffs already locked up. However, Elijah Mitchell led the team with 14 carries for 52 yards and a touchdown, while Mason had only six rushing attempts and gained 36 yards on the ground. He added one catch for a 12-yard pickup. Mason wraps up his second regular season in the NFL with 40 rushing attempts for 206 yards and three touchdowns in 17 games, adding three receptions for 31 yards. The 24-year-old mostly played special teams in 2023 while serving as the No. 3 behind Christian McCaffrey and Mitchell, which will likely continue when the team resumes play in the Divisional Round in two weeks.

Seattle Seahawks running back Kenny McIntosh (knee) has been activated from the injured reserve ahead of the Week 10 matchup versus the Washington Commanders. The rookie back was diagnosed with a sprained left knee in August. He has been sidelined since then, but is finally ready to return to the field. The Seahawks could use the help with Kenneth Walker III (chest) and Zach Charbonnet (hamstring) both banged up heading into this contest. McIntosh could be significantly involved in the gameplan this week if the Seahawks are shorthanded on Sunday.
