Andre Ellington, Marion Grice's Instant Fantasy Reaction After Week 9

Although Carson Palmer was responsible for three of the Arizona Cardinals' touchdowns in what was a 28-10 win over the Dallas Cowboys, Andre Ellington still carved out a nice fantasy day for himself.   

The second-year running back had one of his best games of the season. His final stats are listed below.

Carries	Yards	Avg.	TDs	---
21	95	4.5	0	---
Receptions	Targets	Yards	Avg.	TDs
4	4	39	9.8	1

As Bleacher Report's Sean Tomlinson tweeted out, few running backs are more entertaining to watch than Ellington:

This performance is extremely encouraging for Ellington. He entered Week 9 with just three total touchdowns, so seeing him in the end zone will be a reassuring sight for his fantasy owners.

The game was also notable for Marion Grice getting his first carry with the team. Grice was a strong runner for the Arizona State Sun Devils, so many Cardinals fans were excited for the rookie running back to step on the field for Arizona.

Grice's numbers were far less impressive, but he did score on a one-yard touchdown run to offer a brief glimpse as to how he'll likely be used going forward.

Carries	Yards	Avg.	TDs
5	12	2.4	1

Bleacher Report's Matt Miller thinks the 22-year-old is extremely talented and could emerge at some point down the road:

Unless Ellington gets injured, Grice wouldn't be a smart add in most situations until he gets a little more seasoning. Those who own Ellington could pick up Grice as a nice handcuff, but his value is otherwise small at this point.
