Start ‘Em #1
Andre Ellington has been a pretty risky play since he got back from injury a couple of weeks ago because his teammate and backup Chris Johnson has played well for the most part this season.
In the two games Ellington has been back, he has touched the ball only six times in 2 games. He was lucky enough to score on one of the six touches he got, but it still doesn’t make him a great play in fantasy football, so why do I have him as a start?
I have a strong feeling that Ellington is going to get more involved this week in the offense.
The Cardinals play the Baltimore Ravens in Week 7, a team that is middle-of-the-road when it comes to fantasy points allowed to opposing running backs.
I think this could be Ellington’s week to become relevant again in fantasy football, and owners should consider him a good flex play for Week 7.
