he has a good rep.

Call Adrian Murrell

This blows. I started off not liking him much. Watched a few FF shows & read some things and it changed my mind about drafting him.

Wish I woulda listened to my gut feelings that I had almost all summer & most of the preseason.

[Larry David 20]

So who's the guy to get? Dwyer is next up on the pecking order, but he sucks. Stepfan Taylor?

[We Tigers 71]

I thought I was sitting pretty when he was there for me with my first pick in a keep-3 league. Somewhat amusing that of the three guys I was looking at there--him, Bush, and Mathews--that Ellington was the one to break himself before the season even started.

I look at it this way: if Dwyer so easily won the backup role in the preseason, Taylor must *really* suck.

4-6 weeks? What the hell is this coming from? A sore foot means out for a month and a half?

[Kent 228]

I grabbed him in both my leagues. It's not that he's out for a while that kills me. It's that when he comes back I really doubt they unleash him with most of the workload, which was the plan. This screws him out of all that value. Unreal.

[kobe808lak 7]

This brittle bastard.

- I have a feeling the player who will lead Arizona in rushing this year is not on their current roster.

 

moves, baby ... they gonna make some

I don't think they'll do much other than pick up a free agent if Ellington is out for a few weeks. That's why teams have backups. If he suddenly misses the whole year, maybe it's a different story.

Wondering who to drop between Reuben Randle, M. Wheaton and Carlos Hyde to pick up Dwyer. I'm reluctant to drop Hyde because I also have Lacy and my RB depth is getting ugly really quick

[WhiteWonder 2,196]

All those people dead set on wr-wr because ellington was a top 10 back available in the 3rd....

[FeelingMN 273]

Went Lacy and Ellington in my auction. I know how to pick'em.

[BobSanders_33 127]

With the week 4 bye I think we can expect him to stay out until at least week 5. After that the dream of the "workhorse" back is dead. I'm calling this "run him until he pukes" part two.

[We Tigers 71]

All I can say is thank Odin for Fred Jackson in the 7th round and Doug Marrone as his semi-incompetent head coach. Run strong, old fella.

I think you'd be crazy to drop any of those guys for Dwyer.

[IMMensaMind 460]

Are we SURE that Stepfan Taylor won't have a pretty big role - if not be the lead back?

[Kent 228]

I dunno, Dwyer has bell cow appeal. Goal line appeal too.

 

I'm dropping Knile Davis for him if it clears waivers.

[Kent 228]

Nobody is sure, but all odds are that it's Dwyer, who also has decent hands.

[Flgatorguy87 160]

Added Taylor dropping Nicks. Not much value in either but I like having the RB wildcard

[dehaven123 31]

glazer reporting it could be just a muscle bruise

[Skinny_Bastard 154]

Ian Rapoport reports he might still go this week. Injury might not be as serious as speculated.

 

On #Cardinals RB Andre Ellington (foot), who had an MRI last night: First prescription is rest. He’s hopeful. Still a chance he plays on MNF

[dain11279 930]

Ok. Feeling a little bit better anyway. If he doesn't play this week, it seems as though he should play next. Unfortunately though, there's no way they'll just keep feeding him the rock though now. If he does play, the cardinals will prolly take it easy on him.

[Skinny_Bastard 154]

"Ellington was plagued by the issue for weeks now, according to the report. He's also had foot issues in the past, especially at Clemson."

 

So this isn't something new. Going to be an interesting season for Ellington.

Might be time to man up and gut it out....in the NFL, you only get so many chances.

[Kent 228]

I love every reporter in the world is speculating like crazy, amd thenMRI results are not released yet. I'll wait for the MRI results before feeling good about anything.

Maybe. But when your game is built on speed and elusiveness, gutting it out on a foot injury isn't exactly helping you or the team....or my fantasy team which is all that really matters.

 

Dude is benched for me until I see how he's gonna be used.

 

I love fantasy football.

[RaiderHaters Revenge 3,619]

with the news I swapped in Freddy Jackson to my RB slot, and moved Michael Floyd into my flex position.

 

PPR If Ellington plays, do you start him over Floyd?

[Patriotsfatboy1 1,432]

Well, my opponent this week has Ellington, so I am hopeful. Of course, to make it even better, he never handcuffed Ellington, so I grabbed Dwyer for the block.

[iham32 7]

Grabbed Dwyer in a bunch of leagues. Hopefully I can flip him or maybe he'll be a fill in for fragile lacy.

[RaiderHaters Revenge 3,619]

Ellington = CJ SPiller pt 2

[kkustes03 4]

Now reading Taylor was taking 1st team reps. This is a nightmare if u have ellington. Grabbed dwyer but of course didnt get Taylor. :wall:

[American Chewy 98]

There won't be a rb worth starting. Dwyer is awful. this will be a rbbc situation on a pass first team.

I forget where I read it (likely Rotoworld), but Stepfan looked like he didn't even belong on an NFL roster. I grabbed Dwyer in both my leagues, and am glad. I drafted Lacy in both leagues...

Could always see what Johnny Johnson or garrison Hearst are up to.....fock me

[BigMilk 40]

"Hello, Doug Whaley? This is Steve Keim of the Arizona Cardinals. Let's talk about CJ Spiller."

First thing I thought too upon hearing the news. It is a move that makes sense; Buffalo seems to be begging someone to take Spiller of their hands the way they are (mis)using Spiller.

 

Another interesting move for the Cards would be to trade for McFadden. He is on a one year deal with Oakland and could be had for cheap, as MJD seems to be lead dog out there and Murray would be fine as a #2.

Well done, injury vulture. Well done.
