Dallas Cowboys RB Jaydon Blue admitted he "wasn't really there" in his rookie season of 2025, but he is "ready to go now". The former University of Texas star enters the season in a battle to be the primary backup to RB Javonte Williams. "I didn't start off like I should have," Blue said. "Maybe if it was not practicing the right way or just on a maturity level, I think I wasn't really there. But just learning from all the vets, having the offseason that I've had, I think I'm ready to go." Huddle Up: Williams finished with a career-high 1,201 rushing yards in 2025, while accounting for 13 touchdowns. So, Blue will have to wait his turn at carving out a huge role in the offense. He is trying to overtake Malik Davis for the RB2 job, and Phil Mafah is also in the mix for backfield touches. The Cowboys likely prefer Blue, and would like to see him take a step forward. Unless disaster strikes, knocking Williams out of action for an extended period, Blue is only worth drafting as a handcuff to Williams, and as a late-round flier as a fantasy lottery ticket.
