Wide Receiver Rank: #37
Overall: #155
Even at age 35, Mason doesn't seem to be slowing down very much. He posted his second straight 1,000-yard season and led all Ravens in receiving once again. Mason had seven games with 70 or more yards. He has 1,000-yard seasons in seven of his last eight seasons. Mason is a more of a possession receiver at this point of his career, but can still stretch the field on occasion. Mason still has great hands, good speed and runs good routes, making him a solid option for the Ravens passing attack. The Ravens remain more of a run-first team, but their passing game is improving with Joe Flacco at the helm.

Mason isn't going to post huge numbers, but he is a consistent fantasy option in an improving offense. He is a dependable No. 2 or 3 receiver for fantasy teams. Mason will get you around 1,000 yards and a handful of touchdowns. |

| Edward Lee, of The Baltimore Sun, reports Baltimore Ravens WR Derrick Mason said he believes he can't be covered by one player which is why the Cincinnati Bengals shut out Mason in their first meeting by rolling their coverage toward him. 'You can't cover me single coverage. You can't. It hasn't been done in 13 years, and it won't be done. But it is what it is. You try to take advantage of coverages and how they play you. But Cincinnati did a good job, a very good job, the first game at totally taking me out of the game. In the back of my mind, I just need to go into this game, work a little bit harder, find a way to -- if they choose to do that again -- find a way to get open. If not, then other people will be open,' Mason said. |
