Should You Start or Roster Jaydon Blue?
Blue's rookie tape was a study in contradiction. Across five games he handled just 38 carries on a 25.6% snap share, turning them into 129 yards at a meager 3.39 per pop with one score. The efficiency underneath was alarming: a minus-0.195 EPA per play, only 1.16 yards after contact per attempt, and seven carries swallowed for negative yardage. Yet the burst is real, with a 13.16% explosive-run rate, a 27-yard long, and a breakaway gear most backs his age lack.
The path forward is opportunity, not talent. He enters camp battling for the clear backup job behind Javonte Williams, and his late-season Week 18 start showed he can shoulder a real load when handed one. At an RB65-ish ADP, he's a cheap dart with standalone upside the moment Williams misses time. Until that backup role is locked, Blue is a speculative bench stash with league-winning handcuff equity.
