Rookie Jaydon Blue steps into the NFL with some buzz from his Texas days. He snagged 42 receptions in his final college season and turned 134 rushing attempts into 14 touchdowns, showing off explosive speed and pass-catching flair. He's not your classic between-the-tackles bruiser - think of him as a scatback with breakaway potential.
Blue should see the field early, likely as a secondary option behind Williams, although the team may opt to give Miles Sanders enough playing time to cap both Williams and Blue early on. Blue's receiving skills could make him an exciting piece in the Cowboys' offense, but don't expect a huge role right away. He's more likely to cap the upside of other backs than be a standalone fantasy star, at least early on. Still, that pass-catching upside and explosive speed makes him worth keeping an eye on.
Stash Blue late as a bench option with PPR upside. He's a long-term play who could grow into relevance as the season unfolds, particularly if the veterans in front of him suffer any sort of injuries.

 Cowboys down Javonte Williams, Malik Davis in Week 18
Jaydon Blue in Week 18
By: Mike Krueger | Fri Jan 2, 3:19 pm
|  | Cowboys-Giants game status. Dallas will be without its top two running backs in Javonte Williams and Malik Davis. Jake Ferguson good to go. (Todd Archer on X)
FFToday's Take: Williams has been battling a shoulder injury and Malik Davis is dealing calf and eye issues. That leaves us rookie Jaydon Blue and perhaps some Phil Mafah who needs to be taken off IR in order to play, but did practice in full on Friday. Blue has just 23 touches on the year but could come close to that mark this week if the Cowboys (-3.5) can sustain a lead for a majority of the game.
