Andre Ellington - RB - Cardinals
ESPN's Adam Schefter reported that he and colleague Chris Mortensen are getting a "negative vibe" about Andre Ellington's (questionable, foot) odds of playing in Monday night's opener against San Diego.
"The vibe we're getting is negative," said Schefter. "We'd be surprised to see him out there Monday night." Reports out of Arizona have been negative as well. We'd advise to lean on safer options in Sunday games as opposed to "waiting" to see whether Ellington is active against the Bolts. If Ellington does not play, Jonathan Dwyer will be the lead back in front of Stepfan Taylor.

Andre Ellington's injury is to his peroneus longus.
It's a muscle that helps flex the ankle and Ellington has a little tear in it, per Jay Glazer. FOX Sports 910's Mike Jurecki is hearing that Ellington has two options now that doctors have decided against surgery. He can either put a boot on for 2-3 weeks to strengthen the muscle before returning, or he can simply try to gut it out and play in a limited capacity Monday night. Owners should be hoping Ellington chooses the rest path, but we won't know until about 90 minutes before gametime tomorrow.

Ellington will warm up (assuming he can) and be a game time decision according the HC on local radio

Yeah, damn... I was really hoping they'd let him rest the foot tonight. I'm already having flash backs of CJ Spiller last season.

I picked up Dwyer and I wonder if it is the wise move to just roll with Dwyer and assume that Ellington will be minimally used?

I have the same choice and am rolling with Woodhead. Although I won my game by about 45 points already after Calvin's game tonight. But even if I were down a bit I think I'd go safe pick with Woodhead. You figure he's a 50/50 shot at a TD and almost guaranteed 4-5 receptions if you're in PPR.
