Ellington (hip/foot) had 10 carries for 24 yards and caught 5-of-8 targets for 39 yards in Sunday's 19-3 loss at Seattle.
Ellington had a seven-yard rush at one point, meaning his other nine carries went for only 17 yards. He did make a big contribution as a pass catcher, but that doesn't help as much for those that play in non-PPR leagues. He's got a major opportunity to bounce back in Week 13, however, facing a porous Falcons' rush defense.
Yeah, his average YPC has been pretty ugly this year, especially when compared to last years. Luckily he's made great contributions in the passing game, and I think that will continue. I'm really hoping he can have a big game rushing (and receiving, obviously) against the Falcons horrible defense. This is a dream matchup, so let's hope he capitalizes on it !
I would blame it on his foot, but his first 2 games were his best in terms of ypc. I live on the east coast so I don't get to see them too much, but the couple times I've seen them the line wasn't great (giants game being the exception). Anyone who watches them regularly have an opinion on their o-line?

Let's hope he has a big game next week. It's disappointing to see his low rushing totals.
