The Minnesota Vikings will visit the Seattle Seahawks in Week 13. Here’s the latest fantasy football news and advice to help you with your lineups this week and moving forward, specifically regarding RB Jordan Mason.

Should You Start or Sit Mason in Week 13?
If this Minnesota offense was functioning at even a league average level, I could talk myself into Jordan Mason being a low-end flex play due to my belief that he’s likely to handle the bulk of the short yardage opportunities, but that’s not even close to being the case right now.
Mason has failed to clear 10 carries in five straight contests and has just three targets over that stretch. If you’re rostering him, you’re hoping for a cheap touchdown from a team that hasn’t reached 20 points in a game once during their current losing streak.
You can do better.
To make matters worse, Mason was stuffed on a goal line carry last week in Lambeau: chasing a touchdown is dangerous in a perfect situation and this is far from that with J.J. McCarthy struggling.
