Dallas showcased two intriguing backs in the preseason finale against Atlanta: Jaydon Blue flashed upside with a TD, while Deuce Vaughn handled the highest number of carries among the Cowboys’ backs. Blue, coming off a strong Texas career, may push for a Week 1 role, but an ankle sprain reported by ESPN’s sources clouds his immediate impact. Vaughn’s ten carries underscored the depth in Dallas’s backfield as the team builds toward the regular season.

From a fantasy lens, Blue’s dual-threat potential (ground yards plus receiving ability shown in college) and Vaughn’s shiftiness create a hope-for-a-committee scenario in Dallas. If Blue is limited early, Vaughn could see a sizable uptick, while a healthy Blue could quickly climb the depth chart. The Cowboys’ explosive offense increases the allure of both players in deeper leagues, with health the critical variable heading into Week 1.
