2. Andre Ellington-RB-Arizona Cardinals (44.9%)

Ellington won’t be able to be on this list much longer as more fantasy owners realize his upside. He continues to be in a timeshare with Rashard Mendenhall which keeps him behind Andre Brown on this list this week and limits his upside for the rest of the season.

Even though he got just 13 touches this week against Houston, Ellington managed to get over 70 total yards for the fourth time in the last five weeks rushing for 55 yards and catching two passes for 18 more yards. He had a monster game week 8 against Atlanta in the absence of Mendenhall, but that looks to be a bit of an outlier with this week’s production more in line with realistic expectations as long as Mendenhall takes about half the time in the backfield.

Ellington is still the Cardinals back to own and can be started in a flex spot in a regular basis. If you need help this week, Ellington is in what should be a great matchup against the Jaguars making him a low-end RB2 whose potential depends on how many touches he manages to get against Jacksonville.
