Dallas Cowboys RB Jaydon Blue is wanted to be more involved in the passing game, according to head coach Brian Schottenheimer. "I think what we feel like we have in Jaydon when you're playing defenses that are trying to change the math and cheat to really elite receivers, which we have, there's usually a favorable matchup in that regard," Schottenheimer said.
Huddle Up: Blue should be a handcuff to Javonte Williams and could be an RB3 in his own right. Williams' 252 carries was by far a career high, and Blue will be used to spell him frequently.

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.

Dallas Cowboys RBs Jaydon Blue, Phil Mafah and Malik Davis will all likely be candidates for the No. 2 running back job during training camp and the preseason, in the opinion of DallasCowboys.com's Kurt Daniels.

Dallas Cowboys RB Jaydon Blue was praised for his work ethic during OTAs by head coach Brian Schottenheimer, and Schottenheimer believes Blue has become a different player.
Huddle Up: Blue appears focused on putting a lackluster rookie season behind him, and if he can secure the No. 2 running back role, he will at least be a valuable handcuff to Javonte Williams. Keep an eye on Blue's role in the Dallas backfield during training camp.

Dallas Cowboys RB Jaydon Blue will compete with RB Malik Davis and RB Phil Mafah for the No. 2 running back job.
Huddle Up: Blue played sparingly as a rookie, but he has the speed to bring a big-play element to the Dallas offense. Of the players in the mix for the backup job, Blue probably has the most upside. Assuming he can secure the role, he will be worth stashing in most formats.

Dallas Cowboys RB Jaydon Blue said his lack of consistency in practice played a role in his sporadic playing time this season. "I'm trusting my coaches, and just making sure I'm working because, at this level, talent isn't everything," Blue said. "I have to make sure I'm putting in work so that I can continue to have those opportunities."
Huddle Up: Blue handled just 38 carries all year, but when give a chance for extended playing time in the season finale, he delivered 64 yards and a touchdown on 16 carries. Assuming Dallas is able to re-sign Javonte Williams, he will be the starter, but Blue made a case to be the primary backup in 2026.
