Andre Ellington

Postby CooperCrush » Wed Mar 29, 2017 8:40 am

Just heard he is officially moving to WR. What is everyone's thoughts on this, will he have any PPR fantasy relevance or is he dropable?

I guess he could be a dual threat in the Red Zone .... But then so is DJohnson. It's a WR corp with depth, but none of Brown x 2 or JJ Nelson have Fitz's ability in the short area stuff (and neither will Ellington). My guess would be Tavon Austin upside .... Which is nothing to go chasing. Will keep him for the time being in my Best ball league and undecided on whether to dump him as my DJohnson handcuff.

Loses the DJ handcuff value, I have zero shares but would not be on my roster anywhere going forward.

I've owned him since he was a rookie. Missed the good selling time, held him last season, and now feel like if im holding im just holding based on the potential I felt he once had. I doubt he becomes anyone I want to start at WR. He's a late conversion, with other solid enough WR options (who are also small and quick), and will be losing his QB soon. DJ also plays that dual role, which should cannibalize his chances.

I wish he made this move but stayed RB eligibility. I will probably just move on when the change happens. At least he helped give added incentive to draft David Johnson for protection back in the day...and for that I'll always be thankful.

He now has nil fantasy value, sfaic. For now, he isn't worth a roster spot.

That having been said, an eye should be kept on him this season as he learns the full time WR trade, not because I expect him to be fantasy startable, but because I think it's plausible Arians and company might be feeling out if perhaps Ellington could replace Fitzgerald in the slot, once the latter retires. I think the odds of Ellington ever being an outside-receiver are non-existent, so I have to think the slot is the only alignment they could realistically be looking at for him. That, or a pure gadget-player.

I think he has some real value in the NFL as a WR, but as others have stated he won't be very impactful for fantasy unless a ton of stuff breaks his way, AND he stays healthy

I've got him on my roster hoping he would make an impact, but I'm not a fan of 5'10" receivers, espeically ones with no track record and an injury history. He's drop-able and won't have any value this year.

Worthy of an end of bench stash if you play in 25+ roster leagues, but otherwise he's not worth much anymore.

I would rather have Jaron Brown.

I probably should have done something more productive with that time...

I wonder if this means Arizona will be taking an RB on Day 2 or 3. :think:

Day 3 is plausible. The bottom rounds of this draft will still have some actually decent RBs left.

Day 2 would be a shock.

Exactly. I think this would be a logical spot for a guy like Hunt, McNichols, or Jamaal Williams if they fall to day 3.

I drafted him in a dispersal and inherited him on an orphan team... have no idea what to expect .. but health really seems to be the limiting factor.. I'm wondering if it's plausible he can't hold up to the running back position but may be a little more durable as a WR.. ?
