Who Should I Start? Jordan Mason or Ray Davis

Minnesota Vikings running back Jordan Mason found the end zone and caught three passes Sunday against Cleveland, saving an otherwise average game with just 56 total yards. Mason and Minnesota did just enough, with the back scoring a second-half running touchdown to highlight a day in which he had 52 yards on 13 carries in Minnesota's 21-17 comeback win. The first-year Viking coughed up the ball in the first half for the second straight week, and lost some touches to backup Zavier Scott, who came in and also fumbled. The performance yardage-wise was to be expected as a decimated Vikings' O-line went against a good Cleveland front, but Mason should hang onto fantasy value as long as he can hang onto the ball. The Vikings will return to action in Week 7 after a bye next week.

Buffalo Bills running back Ray Davis had an encouraging rookie year in 2024, recording 631 yards from scrimmage and six touchdowns on 130 total touches. However, Davis has played a more limited role in the team's offense through the first five games of 2025, as he's logged just 14 total touches for 29 yards from scrimmage. Bills RB1 James Cook has dominated the backfield workload, which is a departure from how the team deployed its running backs last season. Davis maintains some appeal in deep leagues as a handcuff to Cook. However, Davis has very little standalone fantasy value heading into Buffalo's Week 7 matchup against the Atlanta Falcons.
