San Francisco @ Minnesota
Team Totals: 49ers 25.5, Vikings 21
Jordan Mason warrants locked-in RB1 treatment at Minnesota after amassing 28 Week 1 carries — most by any 49ers running back during Kyle Shanahan’s eight-year tenure — and generating 96 of his 147 rushing yards after contact. Mason ran with power and purpose, while no other Niners tailback touched the ball against the Jets. … Brock Purdy’s Opening Day fantasy score was lacking because he accounted for zero touchdowns, but Purdy averaged a robust 8.0 yards per pass attempt and lost what should’ve been a routine TD on a Brandon Aiyuk drop. Besides Christian McCaffrey (calf/Achilles), Purdy’s supporting cast is as strong and healthy as it’s ever been with San Francisco’s offensive line suddenly looking dominant. Purdy is fringe QB1/2 playable beneath Minneapolis’ U.S. Bank dome.
