Jaydon Blue

Running BackRB
2024 Fantasy Outlook
Blue will likely play second fiddle to CJ Baxter in the Texas backfield in 2024, but there still should be plenty of carries to go around. Last year's starter, Jonathan Brooks, took his 1,139 yards and 10 touchdowns to the NFL, and while Baxter more than doubled Blue's touches, Blue generally looked more explosive than Baxer. Blue averaged a stout 6.1 yards per carry, while Baxter only managed 4.8 yards per tote. Baxter had five touchdowns compared to three for Blue, but as mentioned above, Baxter had more than double the amount of carries. All this being considered, there could effectively be a split between the top two running backs for Texas again this season, meaning that Blue should get over 100 carries and the chance to figure prominently in the Longhorn offense. It must be pointed out that Texas moves to the SEC this season, though, meaning a likely tougher slate of opposing defenses. Read Past Outlooks
Modest production in win
October 29, 2024
Blue posted 10 carries for 47 yards and reeled in all three targets for 24 yards during Saturday's 27-24 victory over Vanderbilt.
ANALYSIS
Blue averaged 4.7 yards-per-carry but finished below 50 rushing yards for the fourth consecutive outing. The junior running back will likely continue to play behind Quintrevion Wisner when they the Gators at home after the bye week.
