The Dallas Cowboys made a surprise move just ahead of their Week 1 matchup with the Philadelphia Eagles. Rookie Jaydon Blue was inactive in favor of veterans Javonte Williams and Miles Sanders. Head coach Brian Schottenheimer has stated he wants more consistency from Blue.

This likely has a lot to do with pass protection and keeping up with the speed and pace of the NFL. While Blue has excellent physical talent, coaches need reliability. 

Javonte Williams did the most with the Week 1 opportunity as he had 2 1-yard touchdowns with 54 rushing yards off 15 carries. Miles Sanders had a 49-yard run, but was haunted by a lost fumble. Expect Blue to be inactive in Week 2, while Javonte Williams is a flex option. For redraft, Blue should only be stashed in deeper 12-team leagues.
