Jordan Mason 2025 Dynasty Superflex Fantasy Outlook and League-Winning Potential

If you’re building for a fantasy football championship in 2025, you need more than just reliable starters; you need league winners. That’s the focus of this weekly series: identifying top rookies and ascending Year 2 and Year 3 players in Superflex dynasty formats with the traits, talent, and team situation to deliver elite fantasy production. Whether it’s a sophomore surge or a back who can command a heavy workload down the stretch, these are the players who could win you your league in 2025. Jordan Mason Scouting Snapshot Team:  Minnesota Vikings Position:  RB Age:  26 Year:  Year 4 Format:  Dynasty Superflex & Superflex Redraft 0.5 PPR Current ADP:  119th overall (RB38 – FantasyPros) Jordan Mason may be outside the top 35 in consensus rankings (RB36), but don’t be fooled, he’s one of the best value running backs in 2025 fantasy drafts. Last season, Mason flashed elite upside in San Francisco when injuries pushed him into a starting role. From Weeks 1–5, he was the RB5 overall, averaging 17.9 fantasy points per game in 0.5 PPR formats. During that stretch, he averaged 120 scrimmage yards, 5.1 yards per carry, and more than 20 touches per game, adding three touchdowns. Even after shoulder and ankle injuries derailed his season, his efficiency remained undeniable: Mason averaged 90.7 rushing yards per start (4th-best among RBs) and forced five missed tackles per game, per PFF. Now, Mason heads to Minnesota on a two-year, $7M deal, entering a shared backfield with veteran Aaron Jones—who turns 31 this season and has 1,755 career touches. Why Jordan Mason Could Be a League Winner in 2025 The path to upside is simple: Mason is a younger, more explosive runner than Jones. In 2024, Mason posted a 7.8% explosive run rate compared to Jones’ 3.5%, and his missed tackles forced per attempt (22%) more than doubled Jones’ (11%). If Jones maintains his starting role, Mason should still see early-down and goal-line work in Kevin O’Connell’s offense. But if Jones falters due to age or injuries—he’s missed multiple games in five of his last seven seasons—Mason has a clear path to 20+ touches per game and RB1 production. Reports from Vikings camp suggest a true committee approach, with Mason already mixing in with the first team and “making an impression” on the coaching staff. Even in a pass-heavy offense, O’Connell has historically leaned on the run in neutral situations when breaking in young quarterbacks. With rookie J.J. McCarthy likely under center, Mason could see more early-down volume than projected. The Vikings also improved their offensive line, adding first-rounder Donovan Jackson at guard and welcoming back a healthy Christian Darrisaw, making this a sneaky upgrade from the unit Mason ran behind in San Francisco late last season. At his current cost (around pick 100 in Superflex drafts), Mason offers league-winning contingent upside: he’s one Aaron Jones injury, or age cliff drop-off away from being a workhorse on a top-10 scoring offense. 2025 Fantasy Football Outlook Jordan Mason is being drafted as RB38 and 119th overall in Superflex formats, making him a premium Zero-RB or Hero-RB target in the double-digit rounds. While his receiving work remains limited (just 14 career receptions), his early-down dominance and explosive playmaking make him an ideal stash with RB2-to-RB1 upside. Expect a 2025 stat line in the range of 900–1,000 rushing yards, 8–10 touchdowns, and 20–25 receptions, with significant room for growth if he seizes the lead role. At his current ADP, Mason is one of the best upside swings in fantasy drafts; cheap enough to stash, talented enough to win you a league.
