Jaydon Blue is a fantasy football sleeper and value in 2025 fantasy football rookie drafts. Read the fantasy football outlook for the new Cowboys running back.
DRAFT PICK: 5th Round (#149 Overall Pick)
TEAM: Dallas Cowboys
ROOKIE DRAFT ANALYSIS: Despite being a fifth-round pick, Jaydon Blue is among my favorite targets in dynasty rookie drafts. Furthermore, the former Texas star will be one of my highest-rostered rookie running backs in redraft leagues because of his draft cost and massive upside. He has a pathway to significant snaps as a rookie after getting picked by the Cowboys in the NFL Draft.

Dallas has an up-and-coming offensive line and two ineffective veteran running backs ahead of Blue on the depth chart. Last year, Williams and Miles Sanders ranked in the bottom 16 among 70 running backs with at least 55 rushing attempts in yards per attempt. Furthermore, both veterans averaged 2.51 or fewer rushing yards per attempt last season.

Blue is an exceptional pass-catcher, hauling in 42 receptions for 368 yards and six touchdowns in his final season in Austin. His all-around skill set will have him the chance to carve out a role right away, making him worth his cheap cost in rookie and redraft formats. The Dallas offense should rebound in 2025 with a healthy Dak Prescott and improved WR2 (George Pickens).
