2024 Projections
The Bills waived Ellis on Monday, according to BuffaloBills.com.
ANALYSIS
At one point, Ellis had been doing somewhat well in his transition from DE to OLB in the new defense, but the Bills needed to activate Shawn Nelson (suspension) this week and Ellis was given the heave-ho. Ellis had just five tackles in five games, and will go down as yet another draft bust in what was an awful decade for the Bills' brain trust.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2010
2009
Ellis is likely to be transitioned to outside linebacker in Buffalo's new defensive scheme. That certainly improves his prospects to be a contributor, but just because he's making a position switch doesn't mean the disappointing-to-date Ellis will become an IDP guy. He only has eight tackles in two NFL seasons, and is still looking for his first sack. We'll see if the new coaching staff can get Ellis straightened out, but for now there's no need to act in your next draft.

Reggie Torbor (chest) will make his first regular-season start for the Bills on Sunday, The Buffalo News reports, which will put Ellis back in a reserve role.
