ESPN's Adam Schefter reports that signs point to Arizona Cardinals running back Andre Ellington sitting out his team's Week 1 game. Ellington is battling a foot injury, and there are rumors he could miss an extended period of time.
The Cardinals play in the late game on Monday night, forcing Ellington's fantasy owners to make a decision before we'll have the definitive word on whether the second-year tailback will play.
If Ellington sits, Jonathan Dwyer will likely carry the load for the Cardinals and he should be owned in all fantasy leagues. Dwyer can be used in a pinch, but he's far from the electric player Ellington is and his fantasy upside is limited.
Owners who have a solid option to substitute in place of Ellington/Dwyer are advised to make the move.
