Jordan Mason or Rachaad White: Who Should You Start?

Two RB2s in even committees — Mason's clean injury report is the only real separator

Neither Jordan Mason nor Rachaad White is a real touch hog this week, and the projections split by two-tenths of a point because both are genuinely capped by committee math. Mason's 1a/1b split with Aaron Jones still gives him early-down and short-yardage work, and he carries no injury tag into Sunday, while White is tagged questionable after logging the larger receiving role in Washington's backfield. White's higher snap and target share would matter more if he were fully cleared, but a questionable committee back is a shakier bet than an even one. Take Mason if you need the safer floor, White if you're chasing his receiving upside and he clears the injury report.

What flips it: White's questionable tag clearing or worsening on the final injury report decides this.
