Jaydon Blue

21-Year-Old Running BackRB
2025 Fantasy Outlook
The Cowboys surprisingly didn't devote significant resources to their backfield in the 2025 Draft, waiting until the fifth round to select Blue, who ran a 4.38 40 at the combine. His small frame (5-foot-9, 196 pounds) and tendency to get caught in traffic may limit Blue's rushing volume in the NFL, but there's also plenty of cause for optimism, including a 42-368-6 receiving line in his final season at the University of Texas. He also took 134 carries for 730 yards and eight touchdowns last year, splitting work with Tre Wisner after being stuck behind Bijan Robinson and Jonathon Brooks earlier in his college career. Blue now finds himself in a wide-open backfield, competing with free-agent additions Javonte Williams and Miles Sanders to earn carries behind what should be a strong offensive line. It's about the best situation a fifth-round pick could hope for in terms of earning immediate playing time and making an impact. Read Past Outlooks

Getting closer to being active

Coach Brian Schottenheimer said Monday that Blue is very close to being active on game days, Joe Hoyt of The Dallas Morning News reports.
ANALYSIS
Blue has been a healthy inactive for each of Dallas' first four games, and as long as both Javonte Williams and Miles Sanders (ankle) are healthy and producing, it's hard to see the rookie making an impact in the box score. Blue is little more than an end-of-bench stash in deeper fantasy leagues and a hold in dynasty formats.

September 4, 2025
Blue is listed as inactive for Thursday's game against the Eagles due to a coach's decision.
ANALYSIS
Blue has recovered from the low-ankle sprain he sustained in the preseason finale, but the rookie fifth-round draft pick isn't in the Cowboys' Week 1 plans despite being healthy. Javonte Williams and Miles Sanders will lead Dallas' backfield, with fullback Hunter Luepke also on hand, while Blue will have to wait until at least Week 2 against the Giants to make his NFL debut.
