Why Jaydon Blue is playing so much as Cowboys' RB in Week 18 vs. Giants image

Jaydon Blue is finally getting his chance.

The Dallas Cowboys' rookie running back is getting lots of action on Sunday in Week 18 against the New York Giants.

Before this, he had only played in four games, with very little action.

But in the regular season finale, it's all Blue.

Why is Jaydon Blue playing so much RB for Cowboys?

Blue is playing this much due to other injuries.

Javonte Williams is out with an injury.

So too is Malik Davis.

That left Blue as really the only RB that the Cowboys have used this season that was available to play.

It was a key opportunity for Blue. He hasn't impressed since arriving in Dallas, despite being a popular sleeper in the summer.

If Blue plays well, he can establish a better NFL future for Dallas.
