I. Player News & Analysis

ESPN	RotoWire	Trends
"Blue was selected by Dallas in the fifth round of April's draft. Blue's workload was limited in crowded Texas RB rooms (214 carries in three years), but he was an effective rusher (his 3.83 career YAC is fifth best in this class) and he showed his receiving chops with a 42-368-6 receiving line in 2024. He's a bit on the small side (196 pounds) and has had fumble issues, but ran a strong 4.38 40 at the combine. Blue may open his career behind veterans Javonte Williams and Miles Sanders, but neither have played well in recent seasons so this depth chart is wide open. Blue will be on the RB2/flex radar if he wins the lead-back job, so he should be on your radar in the late rounds."	"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."

"Mafah -- a seventh-round pick by Dallas in April's draft -- is one of the biggest backs in this class at 6-foot-1, 234 pounds. He's not particularly fast and his collegiate efficiency was underwhelming, including the lowest eluded tackle rate in this rookie class. The Dallas RB situation is seemingly wide open, but in order to find his way to a sizable rookie-season role, Mafah will need to beat out veterans Javonte Williams and Miles Sanders, as well as fellow rookie Jaydon Blue."	"In the wake of the Cowboys ruling out Javonte Williams (shoulder/neck) and Malik Davis (calf/eye) for Week 18 on Friday and subsequently placing both on injured reserve one day later, Mafah, who was activated from IR on Saturday, will be in the mix for touches out of the backfield Sunday behind Jaydon Blue and FB Hunter Luepke. A seventh-round rookie, Mafah thus is in line for the first game action of his pro career, though Blue and Luepke are the likeliest candidates to earn snaps among the trio."
