The Dallas Cowboys selected Jaydon Blue in the 5th round of the NFL draft. The rookie enters a running back room that is ripe with opportunities. Hearing the news that coaches are questioning his work ethic, expressing that he is “borderline lazy,” is not the start fantasy managers wanted. The rookie RB attended OTAs and mini camp, but no news broke that he got reps with the first team offense.

The Cowboys hope that the 21-year-old can mature throughout his rookie contract, but for a team that desperately needs him to see the field in his rookie season, this is a major concern. The backfield includes Javonte Williams, Miles Sanders and fellow rookie Phil Mafah. The veterans have the leg up on Blue for reps out of the backfield heading into training camp, but the lack of fantasy success shows Blue has an opportunity to produce; he will need to lock in and take advantage.

Williams currently has an Underdog ADP of 130, Miles Sanders at 188, and Jaydon Blue settling in at 147. With the news of Blue’s work habits coming to light, these ADPs are something to monitor moving forward.
