49ers' Jordan Mason: One carry with CMC back

Mason (shoulder) had one carry for five yards in Sunday's 23-20 win over the Buccaneers.

Mason was able to recover from a shoulder injury over San Francisco's bye week in order to suit up against Tampa Bay. Unfortunately for fantasy managers, the first-half star was relegated to his usual backup role with Christian McCaffrey (Achilles) making his season debut off of injured reserve. This resulted in Mason assuming his regular low-usage role Sunday, a trend that should continue now that McCaffrey is back atop the depth chart. Mason can safely be dropped in standard formats as we look towards Week 11.
