Arizona Cardinals running back Andre Ellington was limited in practice on Thursday. He has been dealing with a foot injury since training camp and is expected to play against the Denver Broncos in Week 5.

The Cardinals are coming off a bye week, which should really help Ellington. He is going to be the bell cow for their offense in the back field and is also an adept pass catcher. Quarterback Carson Palmer is also expected to miss this week, so it'll be Drew Stanton under center.
With the inexperienced QB at the helm, the Cardinals will absolutely need to get the ground game going. Ellington is a near lock for 20 touches and should have his best game yet.
Fantasy impact: If you have a minute and Ellington is not on your roster, it might be time to fire over a buy-low offer on Ellington. The Cardinals have had decent success in moving the ball, so the undersized back has top-15 potential. Start him this week.
