Outlook Seth McGowan

Seth McGowan vs Dallas — Handcuff Appeal With Limited Standalone Value

McGowan is healthy and operating as the primary backup behind Jonathan Taylor on the Colts' depth chart. Over his last two games, he logged 16 carries for 75 rushing yards, providing efficient relief on the ground while recording just one reception. His touch volume remains firmly capped so long as Taylor leads the backfield.

Our weekly projection estimates McGowan for around 32 rushing yards on seven carries against Dallas. Fantasy managers have aggressively added him, pushing his roster rate to 52%, though his 2% start rate indicates he is strictly viewed as an insurance stash. He belongs on fantasy benches for this matchup.

Outlook Jordan Mason

Jordan Mason vs. Bills — Flex Outlook in a Shared Backfield

After returning from a thumb fracture that landed him on injured reserve, Mason has settled back into a committee role alongside Aaron Jones Sr. Over his last two games, Mason has tallied 23 carries for 88 rushing yards. However, he has offered virtually nothing in the passing attack, going without a catch on two targets and dropping two passes in his return.

Against a tough Buffalo defense, our projections peg Mason for around 13 carries, 55 rushing yards, and roughly 8 fantasy points. With quarterback Kyler Murray and left tackle Christian Darrisaw currently nursing injuries, Minnesota could look to establish the run, but Mason's absence from the passing game cements him as a touchdown-dependent Flex option who is being started in roughly 25% of fantasy leagues.
