  "account": "Jordan Mason, the Minnesota Vikings running back, is expected to play in their Week 7 matchup against the Indianapolis Colts. Mason had been on injured reserve since Week 2 due to a thumb injury, but was activated from the injured reserve roster on Saturday. ESPN's Adam Schefter reported that Mason is expected to play, but it is unclear how much playing time he will receive. Mason saw limited action in his first game back, with just 15 carries in Week 1. However, the Vikings may work him back into the lineup slowly after his injury. Mason is expected to split time with fellow back Aaron Jones in Sunday's game against the Colts, who have a favorable matchup against a Colts defense that allows sixth-most fantasy points per game to running backs this season. However, until there is an update on Mason's workload, it is recommended to sit Mason in lineups.",
