Andre Ellington injury update: RB probable, will suit up for fantasy owners
Arizona Cardinals running back Andre Ellington is listed as probable for Week 7. We break down the fantasy implications.
Christian Petersen
Fantasy Impact: Ellington should be in line for his usual workload in the 15-20 carry range. In five games this year, Ellington is yet to surpass the 100-yard rushing mark in a game, and he only has two touchdowns. He is likely playing at less than 100 percent healthy, which could explain the drop from his rookie 5.5 YPC average to 3.8 this year. Ellington’s 2014 numbers haven’t been anything to write home about, but he still offers owners some solid upside.
Ellington has an excellent chance to pick up the pace this week, taking on a Raiders run defense that gives up the sixth-most fantasy points to opposing running backs. Owners should play Ellington as a moderate upside RB2.
