Andre Ellington Fantasy Stats

Buccaneers running back Andre Ellington has carried the ball 10 times for just 24 yards and caught five passes for 20 yards throughout these past two preseason games. On top of disappointing yardage totals, he also fumbled away the ball on Friday against Miami. Ellington's disappointing showing thus far could play into whether he makes the team or not. However, his connection to Bruce Arians from his Cardinals days might give him some leeway. Ellington is not fantasy relevant this season outside of some extraordinary circumstances.

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers signed free-agent running back Andre Ellington to an undisclosed one-year deal on Tuesday. Ellington played almost five seasons under head coach Bruce Arians in their time with the Cardinals, so the two have familiarity. The sixth-round pick in 2013 was out of the league last year and carried the ball five times and caught six passes in two starts with the Texans in 2017. The Bucs will rebuild their backfield this offseason, but Ellington is unlikely to be a big part of it in 2019. His strength is in the passing game, but even then he won't be that attractive in PPR leagues unless an injury strikes ahead of him on the depth chart.

Houston Texans running back Andre Ellington was forced into action at wide receiver after Bruce Ellington and Braxton Miller left Sunday's loss to the Titans. Ellington finished the game with five catches for 56 yards. His role for Week 14 is currently unclear and will depend on what Texans players are active against San Francisco.

Houston Texans running back Andre Ellington, claimed off waivers this week from the Cardinals, is a healthy inactive Monday night against the Ravens. Ellington could become the main pass-catching back behind Lamar Miller before long, but Houston clearly didn't think he was ready for a large enough role right off the bat. Alfred Blue will serve as the primary change-of-pace back behind Miller on Monday night.

The Arizona Cardinals released running back Andre Ellington on Monday after he was a surprise healthy inactive in Week 11 against the Texans. D.J. Foster, who was active in Ellington's place Sunday, will take over Ellington's role as the backup to lead back Adrian Peterson. Foster had only two catches for 26 yards on nine offensive snaps in Week 11, so he's not a notable fantasy asset unless Peterson is injured.

Arizona Cardinals running back Andre Ellington is a healthy scratch for Week 11. Ellington has not done much since the Cardinals traded for Adrian Peterson, making this unsurprising. There is no reason to consider him for fantasy purposes.

Arizona Cardinals running back Andre Ellington saw only two carries for four yards in the Week 10 loss to the Seahawks on Thursday, but one of those attempts went for a late-game touchdown, his first of the season. He also caught three passes for 26 yards. While the touchdown was nice for Ellington, it came in garbage time with the game already decided. Adrian Peterson is hogging all the backfield touches with Drew Stanton under center, which has made Ellington useless for fantasy owners, even in PPR leagues.

After logging in three straight full practices, Cardinals running back Andre Ellington (quadriceps) was taken off the injury report for the Cardinals upcoming game. Despite his healthy status, Ellington is nothing more than a PPR flyer unless there is a drastic change in Adrian Peterson's workload. There is no indication of this happening, making Peterson a high-volume RB2 and Ellington a speculative play in all formats.

Cardinals running back Andre Ellington (quadriceps) practiced in full with the team for the last two days. This is a good sign for the veteran back, who has lost playing time, in part due to injury, to new signing Adrian Peterson. However, at this point, fantasy owners should still view Ellington as nothing more than a low end PPR dart throw given Peterson's massive share of the workload for the Cardinals ground game.

Cardinals running back Andre Ellington (quadriceps), who was questionable to play, will be active for the Week 9 game against the 49ers. However, as a result of reports that Adrian Peterson should handle the majority of the workload this week as well as the fact that Ellington has had minimal involvement since Peterson's arrival, Ellington should not be in lineups this week due to his unstable floor. He is a speculative play at best. Peterson will still hold his low-end RB2 value going into the game despite the presence of Ellington in the backfield.
