Jaydon Blue
RB - Dallas Cowboys
This Week Outlook
Availability
Jaydon Blue rushed for 64 yards and a touchdown on 16 carries in Sunday's loss to the Giants.
Fantasy Impact
Blue drew his first career start in Week 18, as both Javonte Williams and Malik Davis sat out the Cowboys' season finale. Blue did well with the workload, averaging 4.0 yards per carry, with a long gain of 27 yards as well as a 14-yard score. The fifth-round rookie out of Texas will attempt to carve out a bigger role in the offense in year two.
Cowboys RB Jaydon Blue is expected to “be in line for a heavy workload” for the Cowboys in Week 18.
Fantasy Impact
Blue is slated to lead the backfield with Javonte Williams (shoulder/neck) and Malik Davis (calf/eye) both ruled out. It has been a lost rookie year for Blue, but he'll have the chance to head into the offseason on a high note.
Jerry Jones mentioned that rookie RB Jaydon Blue could get some snaps in Week 18 against the Giants.
Fantasy Impact
Javonte Williams (shoulder) and Malik Davis (eye) are both banged up heading into the Cowboys season finale. It has essentially been a lost rookie season for Blue with him being a healthy scratch most of the year. He could build some momentum heading into the offseason if he can see some opportunity this weekend.
Cowboys RB Jaydon Blue is officially inactive for Monday’s matchup with Arizona.
Fantasy Impact
Blue will serve as a healthy scratch after playing in each of the last four games. Malik Davis will serve as the backup running back to Javonte Williams against Arizona.
Dallas Cowboys rookie running back saw a career-high mark in carries in a Week 8 loss to the Denver Broncos, taking eight attempts for 29 yards.
Fantasy Impact
Despite profiling as a pass-catching back, a role in which he excelled at Texas, he has just one target this season. His 29 yards on the ground are elevated by a season-long 14-yard carry, but he also fumbled the ball. However, it was recovered by the offense. He is no more than a handcuff to starter Javonte Williams.
