Fantasy Analysis
The injury to Ellis was not considered to be serious, but he was expected to be out for precautionary reasons. That wasn't the case, and the good news is that there were no reported setbacks. Fantasy owners should still consider the USC product to be a low-end option on Draft Day, fit for the later rounds. Ellis is a key cog to the team's run defense. (Updated 08/29/2011).
Defensive tackle Sedrick Ellis had a nice 2010 season. He led the Saints with six sacks and tacked on 44 total tackles and two passes defensed. If you're looking for a nice low-end Fantasy DL, maybe even a No. 3 option, give Ellis a look. (Updated 5/3/11)
