The Dallas Cowboys are set to face the Washington Commanders in Week 7 of the NFL season, with the Cowboys currently holding a record of 2-3 and the Commanders at 3-2. As the teams prepare for their matchup, fantasy football enthusiasts are particularly interested in the status and performance of running back Jaydon Blue.
Jaydon Blue is not listed on the injury report, suggesting he will play this week, barring any last-minute surprises. Fantasy managers are encouraged to keep an eye on the Cowboys’ injury report as kickoff approaches for any updates.
With the season-ending injury of Miles Sanders, Blue presents an intriguing option for fantasy teams looking to bolster their lineup. However, he is viewed primarily as a low-end contingency play. Despite being drafted 149th overall, Blue has had limited opportunities this season, recording just seven yards on seven carries without any targets.
In recent performances, Javonte Williams has solidified his role as the primary back, dominating the snaps with a significant lead over Blue in Week 6. This further limits Blue’s chances to make a meaningful impact on the field, as he’s unlikely to see substantial playing time unless there is an injury ahead of him in the depth chart.
As for Week 7, Blue is projected to score approximately 8.6 fantasy points in PPR formats, with expectations of rushing for around 41 yards and 0.6 rushing touchdowns, along with a single reception for about four yards.
It’s worth noting that the weather will not affect the game as it will be held in a dome, ensuring optimal conditions with a comfortable temperature of 72 degrees Fahrenheit and no wind. Fantasy players should feel confident in setting their lineups without concerns over weather-related disruptions. As always, strategizing with updates from sources and utilizing fantasy tools will be crucial as the week progresses.
