The Seattle Seahawks have signed running back Ricky Person Jr., according to Aaron Wilson of KPRC. The NC State product most recently played for the UFL's Birmingham Stallions, finishing the 2024 campaign with 93 carries, 295 rushing yards, and six touchdowns. He also tallied an additional 150 receiving yards. As of now, the expectation is that Person will compete for the No. 3 running back role with players like Kenny McIntosh, George Holani, and Kobe Lewis. He's off the fantasy radar despite having a legitimate chance to make Seattle's 53-man roster in a couple of months.

San Francisco 49ers running back Jordan Mason made his case to enter 2024 as the team's primary backup by leading all rushers in Friday night's preseason 24-24 tie with the Las Vegas Raiders. The third-year undrafted Georgia Tech product took eight carries for 42 yards, including a four-yard touchdown. He also caught one of two targets for seven yards. Mason is locked into a positional battle with the incumbent but banged-up Elijah Mitchell, rookies Isaac Guerendo and Cody Schrader, as well as veteran Matt Breida. It would seem that Mitchell would have the inside track for the job behind Christian McCaffrey after spending the better part of a season-and-a-half occupying the position. However, Mason showed much more burst in 2023, averaging 5.2 YPC to Mitchell's 3.7 YPC. Guerendo didn't do much to leapfrog Mason, gaining 10 fewer yards in three more carries than Mason, though Guerendo did have an impressive kick return for a near-touchdown. Fantasy managers looking for Christian McCaffrey's handcuff will have to speculate or wait until the situation becomes clearer.
