Despite being questionable throughout the week, Arizona Cardinals running back Andre Ellington is ready to go against the New York Giants Sunday afternoon. Battling a lingering foot injury since Week 1, Ellington had been limited in practice and remained uncertain to play. But as of this morning, Ellington is expected to play, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter.
Andre Ellington set to start for fantasy owners against the Giants
Despite remaining questionable throughout the week, Andre Ellington is slated to start against the Giants. We break down the fantasy implications.

Dealing with the same injury against the San Diego Chargers Monday night, Ellington managed to play 52 percent of the Cardinals snaps. Head Coach Bruce Arians had stated during the preseason that Ellington is a three-down back, but we won't know his actual workload until the Cardinals are sure that he won't re-injure his foot.
Fantasy Impact: Though he appeared spry and fully healthy against San Diego, the Giants run defense is no slouch. Still, you're only sitting him if you have a top 25 option available, especially in PPR formats. Look for the Cardinals to once again get Stepfan Taylor and Jonathan Dwyer involved with their fair share of carries until Ellington is actually 100 percent.
