Who Should I Start? Jordan Mason or Quinshon Judkins

With Minnesota Vikings starting running back Aaron Jones (hamstring) facing an injury, fellow running back Jordan Mason could be in line for more work with Minnesota set to face Cincinnati in Week 3. Already operating with a committee, the Vikings have seen significantly more rushing success with their new acquisition, whom the team extended after the trade that brought him from San Francisco to Minnesota. Even with a mostly awful offensive showing so far this season by the Vikings, Mason has 98 yards on 22 carries and three catches in two games. Should Jones miss any time, Mason is likely to get a feature-back workload for a team that desperately needs its running game to get going.

Cleveland Browns running back Quinshon Judkins made his long-awaited NFL debut in a Week 2 loss to the Baltimore Ravens. Judkins was initially only expected to play a handful of snaps, but he ended up handling 10 carries for 61 yards while adding three receptions for another 10 yards while relegating Jerome Ford to a backup role. The rookie running back should continue to see a larger role in the Cleveland backfield going forward after missing all of training camp. A Week 3 home matchup against the Green Bay Packers will be a tough test for the Cleveland offense, but Judkins is looking like a solid, high-end RB3 heading into that contest.
