Outlook Jordan Mason
Jordan Mason vs. IND — Practice Window Opens with Return in Sight
The Vikings designated Jordan Mason to return from injured reserve, opening his practice window following a thumb fracture suffered in Week 1. Operating as the primary complementary runner behind Aaron Jones Sr. on the depth chart, Mason logged 15 carries and a touchdown in his lone contest this season. While there is optimism he could suit up Sunday against Indianapolis, his game status remains questionable.
Fantasy managers should hold off on starting Mason immediately. Our models project zero points as his activation remains pending, and he could be eased into action even if active. Rostered in 81% of leagues but started in just 7%, treat him as a high-upside bench stash this week and check back often for final activation updates.

Outlook Tyler Higbee
Tyler Higbee at Las Vegas — Expanding Role in a High-Scoring Environment
Despite being listed behind Colby Parkinson on the depth chart, Tyler Higbee has taken on an active receiving role, hauling in 9 of 10 targets for 105 yards over his last two games. With Davante Adams recently landing on injured reserve, the Rams must redistribute targets in the passing attack, keeping Higbee firmly in the game plan.
Facing the Raiders in a game projected for plenty of points, our models project Higbee for 3.5 catches, 39 receiving yards, and 9.3 fantasy points on five targets. With his roster rate surging close to 50%, fantasy managers dealing with tight end woes should view him as a solid streaming option.
