Arizona Cardinals running back Andre Ellington was limited in practice on Wednesday, but it's not expected to affect his Week 5 status. Ellington is playing through a torn muscle in his foot, but it's clearly getting close to 100 percent -- he sat out Wednesday practices in the past few weeks.
Fantasy owners shouldn’t worry about Andre Ellington’s limited Wednesday practice
Andre Ellington returned to a limited practice on Wednesday. We break down the fantasy implications.

Despite the injury, Ellington has played in all three games for the Cardinals, totaling 256 yards on 55 touches. He's had extra time to rest with the Week 4 bye and should be ready to face the Denver Broncos.
Fantasy impact: Foot injuries are typically a big concern for running backs, but Ellington's is unique in that it can't be aggravated by him playing. As a result, he had his usual workload, averaging 45 snaps a game. The Broncos will be a tough matchup, and Ellington managed 75 total yards on 21 yards against the San Francisco 49ers in Week 3. He has solid RB2 value and Stepfan Taylor isn't a threat to his carries. Start him with confidence.
