Andre Ellington, RB, Arizona Cardinals
DraftKings Price: $3,800
Andre Ellington has quietly become an increasingly important piece of the Arizona Cardinals' offense since David Johnson went down with a wrist injury in Week 1. His targets have increased from three in Week 1, to five in Week 2, to a very respectable eight in Week 3, when he caught five passes for 59 yards and added another 22 yards on the ground.
The game script should work in Ellington's favor this week. Arizona has a respectable implied total of 25.75 points, and the San Francisco 49ers have given up 28.77 DraftKings points per game to opposing running backs. Ellington hasn't shown enough consistency to be strongly considered for cash-game purposes, but his receiving upside makes him a viable punt play in tournaments should you want to fit higher-end players into your lineup.
We have Ellington projected to return the fourth-best value amongst running backs this week, and his likely low ownership will help differentiate your teams.
