ARI RB Andre Ellington - Week 12, 2015 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 12 at San Francisco
Andre Ellington had just three touches for seven yards last week, including a five-yard reception. Ellington was on the field a lot, but he didn’t end up getting the ball much wit starter Chris Johnson carrying the rock 18 times. Don’t expect much to change this week, even in a great matchup against the 49ers. There’s no reason to expect Arizona to start giving Ellington more touches, and his usage has been too low to warrant the risk of having him active on your fantasy roster this week. Sit him.

ARI RB Andre Ellington - Week 11, 2015 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 11 vs. Cincinnati

Andre Ellington got a little more work in last week, but he’s still taking a back seat to Chris Johnson in the Cardinals offense. He’s was able to take advantage of his touches last week against Seattle though, putting up 61 yards on five carries, including a 48 yard touchdown run late in the game to seal the victory for Arizona. He also added 27 more yards on three catches.

The Bengals aren’t much easier of a matchup this week, and with only eight touches against the Seahawks, it’s risky to bank on Ellington. The Cardinals do seem to want him more active in the passing game, which gives him some RB3 or flex potential in PPR leagues, but if you can go with someone that has a better matchup or a more clearly defined role, that might be a smarter idea.

ARI RB Andre Ellington - Week 10, 2015 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 10 at Seattle

Andre Ellington didn’t do anything against Cleveland before the bye week, netting a big goose egg, despite logging three carries. Supposedly, the Cardinals prefer having Ellington in the lineup over rookie David Johnson, but it might not matter as long as Chris Johnson keeps playing well as the starting RB.

Ellington has limited value in a tough matchup against the Seahawks this week, but he’s worth stashing on a roster in case he starts getting the ball a bit more, particularly on passing downs. Aside from handcuff potential to Chris Johnson, however, Ellington should likely remain on waivers at this point in most leagues.

ARI RB Andre Ellington - Week 8, 2015 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 7 at Cleveland

Andre Ellington was only on the field for less than a third of the Cardinals offensive snaps last week against the Ravens, but he did touch the ball eight times. With five carries and three receptions, he ended up with 49 yards from scrimmage in a change-of-pace role. He continues to lose touches to rookie David Johnson though, limiting his fantasy upside.

This week, Ellington has some deep sleeper flex value in large leagues against the league’s worst run defense. The Browns have allowed 132 more yards on the ground than any other team in the league this season and have given up eight touchdowns to opposing rushers. Ellington is risky because of his usage, but if he touches the ball 8-12 times this week, he could have value in large leagues.

ARI RB Andre Ellington - Week 7, 2015 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 7 vs. Baltimore

Andre Ellington had only a single carry and two receptions last week against the Steelers. He did finish with 54 total yards from scrimmage, but it wasn’t encouraging to see him on the field for less than 15 percent of the offensive snaps, compared to rookie David Johnson being in on nearly a third of them. Ellington is in a three-headed backfield and is coming in last in appearances, which is not a good sign for fantasy owners.

This week, he’ll face a Baltimore defense that has been awful against the pass this year, but has actually been above average against the run. Still, until his usage goes up, it’s hard to trust Ellington, and we recommend he stays on your bench this week.

ARI RB Andre Ellington - Week 6, 2015 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 6 at Pittsburgh

Andre Ellington had a nice 63-yard touchdown run against the Lions last week, but he only carried the ball three times and wasn’t active in the passing game either. The Cardinals beat Detroit 42-17 and it’s likely the Arizona coaching staff chose to use Ellington sparingly once the game was out of reach.

This week, he should see the field more frequently against the Steelers, but is still a risky option. Chris Johnson still saw the bulk of the snaps and played the lead back role against the Lions. With Johnson playing well, there’s no reason to expect that to stop this week. Ellington should stay on your roster, but he probably should stay on your bench for the time being.

ARI RB Andre Ellington - Week 5, 2015 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 5 at Detroit

Andre Ellington is set to return to action this weekend against the Lions after missing the last three games with a sprained PCL. Supposedly, he was healthy enough to play last week, but the Cardinals kept him out as a precaution.

Expect Ellington to be eased back into the offense against Detroit. With Chris Johnson and David Johnson both running well in his absence, the Cardinals have the luxury of not forcing Ellington back into full time action. Leave him on the bench one more week while we see how the workload is going to be divvied up.
