Bruce Arians wants to give Andre Ellington 20 touches a game

Cardinals head coach Bruce Arians still envisions RB Andre Ellington getting 20 touches per game, receiving and rushing.

Fantasy Impact:

Ellington dealt with some injuries last year, but still comes in 16th on our PPR RB list. The Cardinals drafted David Johnson to lighten Ellington’s workload, and a reduction in touches may actually help his effectiveness, though it's unlikely to help his per game fantasy production. Ellington averaged 22.0 touches per game, but only managed 3.3 YPC after averaging 5.5 YPC in his rookie season. He owned the #10 PPG in PPR formats last year, so he can give up some touches and still provide solid RB2 numbers, especially if his per touch production bounces back.

Cardinals Beat: RB David Johnson 'catches the ball so naturally'

Running back David Johnson catches the ball so naturally, he looks like he belongs with the receiver's group. But can he gain the tough yards inside? That's something the Cardinals missed last year.

Fantasy Impact:

Johnson's isn't the thumper complement that some were expecting that the Cardinals would acquire to join Andre Ellington in the backfield. Instead, they elected to draft a running back with a similar skillset to Ellington so that the offense doesn't miss a beat if something happens to their starter. We view Johnson as a backup and the proper handcuff for Ellington owners.

Cardinals Beat: 'Healthy' Andre Ellington 'remains the linchpin' at running back

Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official website:

Andre Ellington is still the man. Rookie David Johnson, I’m guessing, will eventually have a role and there are other running backs who can help. But make no mistake, Ellington remains the linchpin at the position. He’s healthy and feeling good. He has to stay that way.
