0:00We're talking about one of the best
0:01offenses in football, and Jaden Blue
0:04could potentially have a Keaton
0:05Mitchell-esque role in this offense
0:07where they're using him on manufactured
0:09touches even with a healthy Javonte
0:11Williams. And when you talk about Jaden
0:13Blue, there was a lot of enthusiasm for
0:14him last year. This time last year,
0:16there were people sort of making the
0:17argument that Blue could cut into
0:19Williams or potentially take over the
0:21backfield. That ship sailed. Javonte
0:24Williams is your starting running back
0:25in Dallas. If Javonte Williams were to
0:28miss time, year two Jaden Blue would be
0:31a really, really fun player. Jaden Blue
0:33is very cheap right now. You can make
0:35him part of your late-round draft
0:37strategy. And in a lot of formats like
0:40ESPN, Yahoo, and Sleeper, he is
0:42literally free right now.
