Blue is gaining traction as a sleeper and provides Dallas with a viable change-of-pace threat opposite Javonte Williams. Rumblings from camp suggest the Cowboys will attempt to curb Williams' touches after he set a career-high with 252 last season. Blue has yet to get a real opportunity to shine, but if given an extended look by the coaching staff, he could carve out a nice role in the offense.NegativeDepth ChartAug 10, 2026

Waiver wire riser and interesting contingency bet behind Javonte Williams in Dallas. OTA buzz suggests Blue is locking down primary backup role with some suggesting standalone role potential. Unique skill set complements Williams well: was one of best pass-catching backs at Texas, running legitimate receiver routes and lining up on boundary. Williams posted dismal 0.40 yards per route run (YPRR) last season, so Blue could be answer on third downs. If Williams misses time, Blue has top-24 upside at position in PPR leagues.
