Cardinals running back Andre Ellington continues to make a strong case as the most productive back in Arizona. Ellington nearly hasn't gotten enough touches as Rashard Mendenhall, but through three games, he's averaged nearly three more yards per carry than Mendenhall.

Ellington has 11 carries for 68 yards while Mendenhall has 52 carries for 176 yards (3.4 yards per carry) and one touchdown. He'll face a Carolina defense that has allowed only one rushing touchdown and one 100-yard rusher through three games. The Panthers have allowed only 93.0 yards per game on the ground, which is the seventh-fewest allowed. Opposing running backs have scored 14.00 points against the Panthers, which is the 11th fewest allowed in Fantasy.

Ellington is still a few convincing performances away from proving that he's a consistent option in Fantasy. Right now, he's nothing more than a low-end flex option heading into Week 5.
