Overall
Caps poor rookie year on high note
Blue rushed 16 times for 64 yards and a touchdown but wasn't targeted in the passing game during Sunday's 34-17 loss to the Giants.
ANALYSIS
Blue spent most of his rookie season as a healthy inactive, but he took on the lead-back role in the regular-season finale as the Cowboys played without Javonte Williams (shoulder) and Malik Davis (eye/calf). Blue made the most of his opportunity, scoring his first NFL touchdown on a 14-yard run in the first quarter. The 2025 fifth-round pick will try to carve out a larger role in his second NFL campaign after dressing for only five games as a rookie. Blue had 38 carries for 129 yards and one touchdown while catching his only target for five yards across those five appearances.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Scratched for Week 1
Blue is listed as inactive for Thursday's game against the Eagles due to a coach's decision.
ANALYSIS
Blue has recovered from the low-ankle sprain he sustained in the preseason finale, but the rookie fifth-round draft pick isn't in the Cowboys' Week 1 plans despite being healthy. Javonte Williams and Miles Sanders will lead Dallas' backfield, with fullback Hunter Luepke also on hand, while Blue will have to wait until at least Week 2 against the Giants to make his NFL debut.
