Andre Ellington injury update: Fantasy upside remains vs. Giants
The Arizona Cardinals’ feature back is dealing with a foot injury, but will suit up for the team’s Week 2 meeting versus the New York Giants. We break down the fantasy implications.

Ellington has been dealing with a foot injury, one that expects to limit him in practice going forward but not remove him from game action. This week won’t be any different, as Ellington told azcardinals.com that he is “good to go,“ despite sitting out Wednesday’s and Thursday’s practice sessions. He returned at a limited capacity on Friday.
Fantasy Spin: In Week 1, Ellington remained a key cog in the Cardinals' offense, getting 18 touches while his counterpart, Jonathan Dwyer, had just nine. There isn't any reason to expect the distribution of touches to change as long as Ellington's injury doesn't get worse, and versus a shaky Giants defense, it would not be a surprise to anyone if those touches don't put a dent in fantasy scoreboards. Ellington at less than 100 percent is an RB2 with upside.
