Everyone wants to find the late round running backs who can end up breaking fantasy and winning your league.

And for 2025, I've identified the five backs who fit the criteria to do this.

They're undervalued at their ADP.

They have a clear path to volume and they have playmaking ability.

And let's start with a guy who could be a league winner this year because he basically did it last year.

And that's Jordan Mason, formerly of the 49ers, now on the Minnesota Vikings. He was one of the most efficient backs in fantasy last year when healthy, and it's like people

don't even remember.

Let's take a look at his player profile their stats.

This was a guy who started the year basically in training camp as a backup, maybe a third string,

and quickly week one became the RB1 when McCaffrey went down.

He had 789 rushing yards.

He had basically89 rushing yards. He had basically 100 receiving yards. So this is a guy who put up almost 900 total yards. And he was only really the full time back for like the first five weeks of the year before his own injury. And he was also very explosive and efficient. He ranked fourth best in the NFL at his explosive run rate, the percentage of his runs that went for at least 10 yards. But now here's where it gets interesting. In the seven games last year where Mason played at least 50% of the snaps for the 49ers, he averaged 106 rushing yards

per game, and in every game he had at least 13 carries in 65 plus total yards. I mean, if we

were to extrapolate that, there's a big word, but just branched that out over a full season,

he would have had 1,800 total yards on nearly 20 touches a game.

And again, remember, this was for him filling in to be the guy behind Christian McCaffrey,

who was kind of thrown in there last minute. If you remember kind of the controversy with

Kyle Shanahan, Mason was told, like last minute that he was going to be the starting running back,

and then he goes out there and he continues to dominate. So much so that Jordan Mason last year in his five games before his injury on Thursday night football where he left a game early that he was playing very well in. He averaged 17 fantasy points per game.

That was top 10 amongst running backs. 21 rush attempts per game led the NFL and 107 yards per

on the ground was second only behind Derek Henry. And if you picked up Jordan Mason on the

waiver wire or followed our content last year and got him in the late rounds of your draft, you noticed and so did the Minnesota Vikings. Because in the offseason,
