Following an underwhelming first half of the 2017 season, Andre Ellington will have an opportunity to start anew with the Houston Texans after the Texans claimed him off waivers Tuesday, NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reported.
A move to Houston could help revive Ellington's rapidly dwindling fantasy football value.
The 28-year-old will fill the void left by rookie running back D'Onta Foreman, who suffered a season-ending Achilles injury in Houston's Week 11 victory over the Arizona Cardinals.
In his first eight games for the Cardinals, Ellington ran for 53 yards and a touchdown on 15 carries.
