Fantasy Football Start ‘Em Sit ‘Em: Week 3

Week 3 Projection: Standard: 7/PPR: 8. RB. Arizona Cardinals. Andre Ellington. 1. player. 32
First off, I know Ellington is questionable for this weeks game against San Francisco, but I think you should sit him no matter what.
Ellington honestly might be better off riding the bench in week 3 as I don’t see him breaking even 50 yards.
If he does play, Ellington has quite a tough matchup with the 49ers. While the 49ers defense has a bunch of injuries, they still have shut down DeMarco Murray in week 1 and Matt Forte in week 2. They shut down Forte even though they let Jay Cutler and the passing attack tear them apart.
Ellington honestly might be better off riding the bench in week 3 as I don’t see him breaking even 50 yards.
The only upside that Ellington has in this game is that his teammate RB Jonathon Dwyer is suspended and more carries will be available for him if he does suit up.
I would avoid him this week and look for better options on your bench like Matt Asiata, Knile Davis, etc.
Consider him a low-end flex whose only real points would come from a TD.
