The Cardinals haven't officially ruled him out for Week 2 against the Chicago Bears, but the expectation is that he will miss two to three weeks. Ellington has suffered numerous injuries in his career, and chances are the Cardinals will be more cautious upon his return.
Running back Chris Johnson is expected to get the start on Sunday and should be featured. Coach Bruce Arians is a little apprehensive in trusting rookies, which means we probably won't see much of David Johnson out of the gate. Although, Johnson is talented as he showed with his 55-yard touchdown catch to clinch a win over the New Orleans Saints on Sunday.
Fantasy impact: If you need some help this week, Chris Johnson is worth a look as an RB3. However, he's likely going to lose some value by the end of this month. Ellington owners can just sit tight for now.
