The Facts:
The offseason and time off is underway, but Ellington is in the training room getting treatment on his knee. Coming off an impressive rookie season, Ellington won’t need surgery. He probably could get away with not getting worked on at all right now. “I’m getting rehabbed up because there is nothing else to do,” Ellington said.

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
But the team's official web site points out, that’s not entirely true. Ellington also wants to prep his body for the offseason to come, put on a little more weight and be able to go full speed when the Cardinals return to the field officially in late April. If 2013 proved anything, it’s that Ellington will be a major part of the offense going forward as both runner and receiver. Ellington, who missed a game because of that knee sprain, cracked 1,000 total yards running and receiving, with 652 on the ground (averaging 5.5 yards a carry) and 371 on 39 receptions (9.5 yards per touch.). Ellington would like to run the ball more and perhaps bulking up will help him get his wish -- as long as it doesn't cut into his speed.
