Jordan Mason Active at OTAs

Wednesday, June 4, 12:51 PM

Minnesota Vikings running back Jordan Mason (ankle) is taking part in voluntary organized team activities this offseason. Mason missed the last five games of the 2024 season due to a high-ankle sprain, but he's back on the field in early June and should be completely healthy and ready to go for Week 1 in his first season with Minnesota. The 26-year-old had a breakout season with Christian McCaffrey missing most of the year with injuries, as he finished with 153 carries for 789 yards and three touchdowns while adding 11 catches for 91 yards in 12 games (six starts). Mason isn't going to have the kind of workload he did in San Fran with CMC injured, but the Vikings want to spell starter Aaron Jones more to keep him fresh, which is where Mason comes in. RB3/flex value seems plausible, especially if Mason is the Vikes' preferred goal-line option.

Kenneth Walker III, Zach Charbonnet Set for RB Battle in Seattle

Wednesday, July 23, 2:56 PM

The Seattle Seahawks are heading into the 2025 season with a clear backfield competition. Kenneth Walker III has been outstanding across his first three years in the league, but recurring injuries have left the door open for third-year back Zach Charbonnet to push for more snaps. Charbonnet totaled eight touchdowns in 2024 despite starting just six of 17 games, showcasing his explosiveness and versatility. With new quarterback Sam Darnold under center, this two-headed backfield could emerge as one of the most dynamic tandems in the NFL, and a tricky one for fantasy managers to navigate.
