The Cardinals Against Number-Two Receivers

Will Fuller played only 47.14% of offensive snaps Sunday before exiting with a cracked rib and has already been ruled out for Week 11. Bruce Ellington is expected to start in his place.

Patrick Peterson leads all cornerbacks in allowing just one reception for every 29.7 snaps in coverage (per Pro Football Focus) and will reportedly shadow DeAndre Hopkins this week. Peterson's shutdown ability, however, overshadows the fact that the Arizona Cardinals have still allowed the sixth-highest percentage of fantasy points to opposing wide receivers (via Airyards.com) due to the play of the defensive backs listed behind Peterson on the depth chart (particularly Justin Bethel).

With that said, Sunday makes for a terrific matchup for Ellington. Not only has he received eight targets in consecutive games, head coach Bill O'Brien has also noted the team will attempt to get Ellington "more looks" -- a plus considering the Cardinals have additionally allowed eight passing plays of 40-plus yards.

With a salary that's near-minimum on FanDuel, Ellington ($4,600) is certainly a name worth considering in tournaments given the matchup.
