Jordan Mason vs. Colts — Nearing Return in Favorable Matchup

Jordan Mason is questionable for Sunday's matchup with Indianapolis, but head coach Kevin O'Connell expressed optimism after Mason logged full practices all week. Designated to return from injured reserve following a fractured thumb suffered in September, Mason is set to step back in as the primary complement to Aaron Jones Sr. Be sure to check back before kickoff for the latest news on his game-day status.

The undefeated Vikings are 6.5-point home favorites, setting up a favorable rushing script. While our models project zero fantasy points pending his official activation from injured reserve, Mason handled 15 carries and scored in Week 1 before his injury. Given touch uncertainty in his first game back, fantasy managers should keep him on the bench if possible.

Outlook Ted Hurst

Ted Hurst at Carolina — Expanded Opportunity in Division Matchup

Ted Hurst is positioned for an elevated workload this week as starting wideout Emeka Egbuka has been ruled out with a concussion and foot injury. Operating on the perimeter alongside Chris Godwin, Hurst already showed promise last time out by commanding six targets for three receptions and 40 receiving yards.

Our projections forecast Hurst for roughly five targets, 2.7 receptions, and 38 receiving yards, yielding 8.1 fantasy points. With roster rates hovering around 4%, the rookie is not a recommended play in standard leagues, but his growing involvement makes him an appealing deep-league flex option against Carolina.
