Cardinals running back Andre Ellington has mostly been held in check on the ground over the past three games, but that could change in Week 7 against the Raiders.
Ellington did have one massive performance in Week 5, scoring two touchdowns and finishing with 144 all-purpose yards, but that masked that he ran for just 32 yards on 16 carries that game. He is averaging a meager 3.03 yards per carry over his past three games but will be looking to break free against a Raiders defense that has struggled against running backs.
Ellington has topped double digits in Fantasy scoring twice in five games, but has a very good chance to make it three times after he gets done with Oakland. The Raiders have allowed five backs to reach that level in five games, with No. 1 running backs averaging a robust 15.0 Fantasy points per game, on 4.8 yards per carry.
Ellington is a dangerous player in both the running and receiving game, and he should get a chance to show that off in Week 7. Consider him a solid starting option.
