If Jones Sr. Misses Time

Next man up: Jordan Mason

Jordan Mason is next on the Vikings depth chart at running back. He's the handcuff: worth a bench spot in deeper leagues and for Jones Sr. managers, since the same backfield work would pass to him.

Who else it affects

His absence would move work to the rest of the offense, and Kyler Murray would lose one of his main options.
