Andre Ellington scores in Week 10.

Ellington caught three passes for 26 yards and carries twice for four yards and a touchdown, with the score coming late in the fourth quarter on a goal line carry in a hurry-up offense situation. Ellington will remain a FLEX option in deep PPR leagues, but he doesn’t need to be on standard-league rosters.

Amari Darboh catches one pass in Week 10.

Darboh was in there for a lot of early snaps with Paul Richardson (groin) not at 100%, and the rookie worked in throughout the game. He had only a three-yard reception, and he’s not a fantasy option at the moment, despite his real-life contributions to his team.

Lance Kendricks catches two passes against the Lions.

Kendricks gained 32 yards on his two receptions (three targets). He’s a good contributor in real life, but Kendricks isn’t a reliable fantasy option even if Martellus Bennett is out of the lineup for the Packers.

J.J. Nelson catches one pass in Cardinals’ loss.

Nelson gained 17 yards on his lone reception, but he could’ve had a touchdown at the end of the first half on a fourth-down deep ball from Drew Stanton that appeared to go off his hands. The good news is Stanton showed he isn’t afraid to take deep shots down the field, and Nelson will have easier matchups coming up than tonight against Seattle.

Seahawks shut down Adrian Peterson in Week 10.

As promised, the Cardinals gave All Day a heavy workload in the Thursday night matchup, but it didn’t lead to fantasy results. Peterson carried 21 times for 29 yards and caught one pass for 13 yards, but the night didn’t start off well after a fumble early on the first drive for the Cardinals. There simply wasn’t much room for AD to run against eight-man boxes almost every play, and this performance certainly wasn’t on him. Fantasy owners were probably mad Andre Ellington scored a goal line touchdown late in the game, but it came in a hurry-up offense in which Peterson was not in the game—that’s just how it goes sometimes. Peterson should still be a lock for about 20+ carries each week, so he’ll go back to being an RB1 option in an easier matchup in Week 11 against Houston.

Adrian Peterson could get the same workload as last week.

Cardinals head coach Bruce Arians said “I would think the same as last week,” regarding the 32-year-old running back’s workload for Thursday night against Seattle. Considering Peterson received a career-high 37 carries, it looks like Peterson is an absolute lock for at least 20-25 in the NFC West showdown. AD clearly has a lot left in the tank, and the Cardinals’ best shot at winning games is handing him the ball a ton. Because Seattle has one of the league’s best run defenses, Peterson does have a relatively low floor given his workload, but he’s still an RB1 option for Week 10 and should be in fantasy lineups unless you’re stacked at RB.

Jordy Nelson catches for passes in Week 9.

Nelson gained 35 yards on his four receptions, as the Lions did a nice job against the Packers for most of the game. Not having Aaron Rodgers in the lineup is a blow to Nelson’s fantasy value because of the amazing chemistry the two have together, but Nelson should remain a starting option in fantasy leagues—he just might not be a top-ten option right now. He’s on pace for double-digit touchdowns this season, all six of his scores came in the first four games with Rodgers.
