Fantasy Football Ruins Lives: A Netflix Original Comedy

A comedy film titled "Fantasy Football Ruined Our Lives" is set to be released on Netflix on August 27. The movie follows a group of friends who are obsessed with Fantasy Football, leading them to extreme measures to win the championship. The film stars Giacomo Ferrara, Silvia D'Amico, Francesco Russo, and Caterina Guzzanti, and is directed by Alessio Maria Federici.

The Minnesota Vikings' backfield has undergone significant changes with the addition of Jordan Mason. The Vikings signed Aaron Jones to a two-year, $20 million contract extension and traded for Mason from the 49ers, who received a two-year, $10.5 million deal. The team expects a committee approach between Jones and Mason, with both players expected to handle around 50% of the carries [1].

Last season, Jones was the Vikings' top back, logging 62.7% of the snaps and averaging 15 carries per game. However, with Mason's addition, Jones' role is anticipated to decrease, leading to a more balanced backfield. Mason, who averaged 5.3 YPC over his career, was the 49ers' starting running back for the first seven games of the season, producing 16 FPTS per game [1].

Mason's youth and lower mileage compared to Jones make him a potential long-term asset. Early in the season, both players are expected to receive around 10 carries per game, with Jones handling most of the passing down work. However, as the season progresses, Mason's youth and lower wear and tear could lead to him becoming the primary rusher [1].

In terms of fantasy value, Jones is currently ranked at 75.3 on DraftKings' ADP, while Mason is at 92.6. This suggests that passing on Jones and drafting Mason later in Best Ball contests could be a strategic move [1].

The Vikings' backfield dynamics will be a key factor to watch as the season progresses, as the balance between Jones and Mason could significantly impact fantasy football outcomes.
