the same dots we connected for Blue last summer — his pre-draft pedigree, the Cowboys' rather acute need for a third-down back — remain for this season... Head coach Brian Schottenheimer said Blue is "a huge part of what we want to do" before shockingly going as far as calling Blue "football brilliant."

Blue's profile and Cowboys' third-down need make him a PPR sleeper despite 2025 bust.

Blue burned fantasy managers in 2025 but the pre-draft pedigree and Cowboys' acute need for a third-down back remain intact. Javonte Williams was an absolute zero as a pass catcher in 2025, and while Blue was ineffective everywhere last year, head coach Brian Schottenheimer has backed him strongly, calling him "a huge part of what we want to do" and "football brilliant." Blue's profile suggests he should be good; if the coaching staff's assessment proves correct, he could be a PPR secret weapon reeling in third-down receptions for one of the league's most pass-happy attacks.
