Fantasy Analysis
It's unclear if Ely's ankle is still bothering him, but with Denver being such a deep team right now, he'll likely be either inactive, get a DNP or see mop-up duty the rest of the year. Fantasy owners should go on ignoring Ely in all formats as he doesn't warrant any attention at this time. (Updated 03/11/2011).
