Andre Ellington, RB, Arizona Cardinals

Price: $4,900

Andre Ellington is dirt-cheap this week, sitting only $400 above the minimum despite the fact that he's in for an increase in work with David Johnson (wrist) on the sidelines.

Kerwynn Williams is the Arizona Cardinals back that saw a big salary jump (up to $6,100) and he's the starter, but Ellington played 20 snaps compared to only 9 for Williams in Week 1.

Nobody is going to step in and just play the massive role that Johnson had in the Cardinals' offense, but he was targeted 9 times in Week 1 after averaging 7.5 per game in 2016. There should be plenty of passing game work to go around in the backfield, which is a role that Ellington is the clear-cut favorite to fill.

He has 167 targets and 114 receptions over his five-year career, compared to only 11 targets in 24 career games for Williams, and Ellington even spent some time at wide receiver in the offseason.

The Cards offense is also in a great spot against a Colts defense that just allowed 46 points to the Rams.
