6. Andre Ellington, Arizona Cardinals
The phrase “injury-prone player” is widely debated for its worthiness, but running back Andre Ellington is Exhibit A supporting its merit. Ellington exited the season opener due to a knee injury, was unavailable last week and has missed five straight practices, per ESPN.
Fortunately for the Cardinals, however, Carson Palmer and Larry Fitzgerald have a terrific connection, and rookie running back David Johnson has tallied three touchdowns in two games. Arizona battles the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday afternoon and seven-point favorites anyway. Ellington is an asset when healthy, but the Cardinals offensive show rolls along without him.
