If you picked up the San Francisco 49ers running back Jordan Mason for your fantasy team that follows Christian McCaffreys injury, his contribution Sunday night against the Dallas Cowboys could be his last significant impact in fantasy football. NFL insider Ian Rapoport shared this warning Friday morning, suggesting that McCaffrey appears on track to regain the majority of the game’s snaps at running back.

Mason has impressed in McCaffrey’s absence, rushing for 667 yards and three touchdowns this season while averaging 5.2 yards per carry. However, he has been a limited participant in practice this week as he continues to recover from an AC sprain suffered in Week 6 against the Seattle Seahawks. Mason suited up on Sunday against the Kansas City Chiefs and is expected to play this weekend.

“He had 14 carries (against the Chiefs), seemed good,” Rapoport said Friday morning on NFL Network. “I expect him to play. In fact, this could be the last game where Jordan Mason is the ringer.”

Head coach Kyle Shanahan expressed optimism that McCaffrey could return to practice during the bye week, potentially making him available for the 49ers’ Week 10 game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. McCaffrey, who has yet to play this season, landed on injured reserve due to bilateral Achilles tendinitis.

“The 49ers have a bye (after Sunday),” Rapoport continued. “Christian McCaffrey should start practicing, and there’s a very good chance McCaffrey will be on the field Nov. 10 for the 49ers’ next game. If you have Jordan Mason in fantasy, this could be your last hurray with this one.”

Regarding wide receivers Deebo Samuelwho was hospitalized earlier this week with pneumonia, Rapoport indicated he could still suit up against the Cowboys. Samuel missed Wednesday’s practice but was a limited participant on Thursday.

“It’s a situation where, if he feels good enough, he could play,” Rapoport noted. “The fact that he trained yesterday means at least there’s a good shot for him to be out there on Sunday.”
