Arians: Cardinals RB Andre Ellington has 'severe' hip-pointer, game-time decision

Dec 03, 2014

Cardinals beat writer Alex Marvez: RB Andre Ellington has "severe" hip-pointer, per HC Bruce Arians. Probably won't practice this week. The team hopes he can go against the Chiefs, but he will be a game-day decision.

Darren Urban of AZCardinals.com reports that "Marion Grice likely will be the first one in if Ellington cannot play, but Stepfan Taylor and Robert Hughes will be in the mix, Arians said."

Fantasy Impact:

It's generally not a good sign if the head coach is talking about a game-time decision as early as Tuesday. Grice would be a decent desperation start against a mediocre Chiefs rush defense, but he's not likely to see a huge workload with Taylor, Hughes and possibly Michael Bush in the mix. Complicating matters, the Cardinals play in the late round of games on Sunday. Hopefully, we'll have some clarity on the situation by Saturday, but owners should not plan on having Ellington available in Week 14.

Cowboys TE Jake Ferguson officially Out for Week 12

Cowboys list TE Jake Ferguson as out for Sunday’s game vs. Washington due to his concussion.

Related Players: Luke Schoonmaker

Fantasy Impact:

This puts Schoonmaker more or less in TE streaming consideration, but there are far better options this week, which puts him low on the totem pole.

Eagles WR DeVonta Smith officially Out for Week 12

Eagles ruled out WR DeVonta Smith (hamstring) for Sunday against the Rams.

Related Players: A.J. Brown, Jahan Dotson, Johnny Wilson, Dallas Goedert

Fantasy Impact:

It's a bit of a crapshoot as to who the "WR2" on the offense will be, but now that he's ruled out, Brown and Goedert should get a nice boost to their bottom line. That would lock Goedert into a no-doubt TE1 role in Week 12.
