Arizona Cardinals running back Andre Ellington has been limited in practice throughout the season due to a foot injury. He is going to have to play through a lot of pain due to a muscular problem, but it hasn't kept him out of the lineup yet.
Fantasy football start/sit advice, Week 7: Andre Ellington
Andre Ellington and the Cardinals get a nice matchup against the Raiders. Should fantasy owners have him in their lineups?

Clearly, the Week 4 bye has helped him based on Ellington touching the ball 45 times in his last two games combined. While it hasn’t yielded positive results on the ground game, the touches are highly encouraging.
This week, he gets a wonderful matchup against the Oakland Raiders, who rank 31st against the run on the season. Ellington will get a lot of looks in the passing game with the Cards likely going to give a green light to Carson Palmer in his bid for revenge against his former team.
Fantasy impact: He’s pretty much a must-start player this week. Fantasy owners have only had one gem out of him so far, but a second one should be coming this week.
