More insight I found on Ellington

He's not an every-down back; you're going to be relying on big plays and his scoring projects to be inconsistent

Arizona was dead-last in rushing yards last season and second to last in rushing attempts.

Arizona's offensive line is mediocre in the run game and poor in the categories relevant to Ellington

Taylor and/or Dwyer will most likely get the red-zone looks as Ellington had extremely low utilization there last season

Ellington was fairly ineffective facing his divisional foes last season (who all boast stout rushing defenses), and this season he also gets the Lions, Eagles, Broncos and Giants (all top-10 rushing defenses last season)
