Cardinals would like to increase Andre Ellington's role

Cardinals HC Bruce Arians said he’d like to increase Andre Ellington’s touches, although that might come through pass receptions to get Ellington in space. OC Harold Goodwin said he personally thinks Ellington is smart enough to be able to handle a lot of carries, but reiterated he doesn’t want Ellington to get beat up.

Fantasy Impact: 

Duh. On the season, Ellington is averaging 7.74 YPC compared to Rashard Mendenhall's 3.05 YPC. Due to size/durability concerns, Ellington can't completely take over the feature back role, but he should be seeing more touches than Mendenhall on a weekly basis.
