The 49ers traded Mason (ankle) to the Vikings on Saturday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
ANALYSIS
The 49ers placed a second-round tender worth $5.3 million on Mason when free agency began, but he'll now be shipped out along with the No. 187 pick of the 2025 NFL Draft in exchange for the No. 160 pick and a 2026 sixth-round pick, per David Lombardi of SFStandard.com. Mason will receive a two-year contract with the Vikings that's worth up to $12 million and includes $7 million guaranteed. Mason served as the 49ers' starting running back for the first half of the 2024 regular season due to Christian McCaffrey being sidelined with Achilles injuries. Through the first eight games of the regular season, Mason rushed for 685 yards and three touchdowns on 134 carries while adding 10 catches (on 12 targets) for 86 yards, though he missed the final five games due to a high-ankle sprain. Ty Chandler was slated to be the Vikings' backup running back, but Mason's addition is an upgrade to the backfield led by Aaron Jones, who agreed to a two-year contract with Minneosta on March 9.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2024
2023
No player better represents the idea that just about any running back can thrive in Kyle Shanahan's offense than Mason. Undrafted out of Georgia Tech in 2022, Mason has averaged 5.6 yards per carry for the 49ers, and while he lacks breakaway speed, his power and sheer refusal to go down have resulted in some impressive yards after contact in a small sample. The 49ers backfield seemingly got more crowded this offseason when they drafted Isaac Guerendo in the fourth round, but it ended up working out well for Mason when Guerendo and Elijah Mitchell both missed most of training camp with injuries. Mitchell was then place on season-ending injured reserve in late August, leaving Mason as the No. 2 running back behind Christian McCaffrey to start the season.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Could be moved by Niners
Mason, who is a restricted free agent, could be tendered by the 49ers before being traded, Eric Branch of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
ANALYSIS
Tendering Mason at the second-round level -- valued at $5.3 million -- and trading him would be similar to what the 49ers did with Matt Breida in April of 2020. There's inherent risk to that route, considering Christian McCaffrey's lingering Achilles issue and that moving on from Mason would mean Isaac Guerendo would serve as the No. 2 running back. In the eight regular-season games prior to McCaffrey's return, Mason turned 134 carries into 685 yards and three touchdowns while adding 10 catches on 12 targets for 86 yards.
