Who should you start? Who should you sit? To help you set your fantasy football lineups and to avoid starting a player who won't be in the lineup, we'll post fantasy-relevant updates and analysis here as NFL teams release their inactives, typically about 90 minutes before kickoff. Any rankings cited in this column come from our ESPN Fantasy staff ranks.
Refresh often for the latest information.
Note: The Baltimore-Pittsburgh game originally scheduled for Thursday night and then rescheduled for Sunday afternoon has been postponed once again. For now, both teams are preparing to play on Tuesday night. To see how ESPN is handling these kinds of NFL postponements for fantasy football purposes, click here.
1 p.m. ET games
Offense
Larry Fitzgerald, WR, ARI: Illness -- OUT/IR
Impact: Christian Kirk/Andy Isabella rise in value as the veteran sits due to COVID-19.
Todd Gurley II, RB, ATL: Knee -- OUT
Impact: Brian Hill is suddenly an interesting fantasy play.
Julio Jones, WR, ATL: Hamstring -- Inactive
Impact: Jones was never really expected to play. Calvin Ridley was hurt earlier in week but is active for Sunday.
Hayden Hurst, TE, ATL: Ankle -- Active
Impact: Luke Stocker could still be in the mix for targets.
John Brown, WR, BUF: Ankle -- OUT/IR
Impact: Gabriel Davis suddenly becomes fantasy-relevant.
Christian McCaffrey, RB, CAR: Shoulder -- OUT
Impact: Mike Davis continues his streak of starts in the superstar's stead.
Giovani Bernard, RB, CIN: Concussion -- Active
Impact: It's probably best to avoid all Bengals. Samaje Perine will be the backup for Bernard, should he struggle.
Mike Thomas, WR, CIN: Hamstring -- Inactive
Impact: Auden Tate was activated from the reserve/COVID-19 list.
Philip Rivers, QB, IND: Toe -- Active
Impact: Was always expected to play, with Jacoby Brissett at the ready.
Zach Pascal, WR, IND: Knee -- Active
Impact: He was a game-time call, but the team went with him and placed Dezmon Patmon among the inactives.
Jonathan Taylor, RB, IND: Illness -- OUT/IR
Impact: Jordan Wilkins/Nyheim Hines surge in value due to Taylor's absence for his "high-contact" status.
Gardner Minshew II, QB, JAX: Thumb -- Inactive
Impact: Mike Glennon gets the call over the plucky Jake Luton.
Chris Conley, WR, JAX: Hip -- OUT
Impact: Laviska Shenault Jr. is back to full health and could shine.
DJ Chark Jr., WR, JAX: Ribs -- OUT
Impact: Keelan Cole Sr. might once again get a chance to do more than return kicks.
Kalen Ballage, RB, LAC: Ankle -- Inactive
Impact: Austin Ekeler has been activated from IR. It's still unclear as to how much he'll see the ball, but they wouldn't have activated him not to play, right?
Jalen Richard, RB, LV: Illness -- Inactive
Impact: Devontae Booker will be the lone backup to Josh Jacobs.
Tua Tagovailoa, QB, MIA: Thumb -- Inactive
Impact: The bearded wonder known as Ryan Fitzpatrick will start.
Salvon Ahmed, RB, MIA: Shoulder -- OUT
Impact: Myles Gaskin will remain on the IR. Matt Breida should end up as the team's No. 1 back.
Jakeem Grant, WR, MIA: Hamstring -- Active
Impact: It was a game-time decision for Miami, but Grant will play.
Irv Smith Jr., TE, MIN: Groin -- Inactive
Impact: Kyle Rudolph becomes a potential TE1 with Smith unable to steal targets.
Adam Thielen, WR, MIN: Illness -- OUT
Impact: A "false positive" placed his status in doubt for Sunday, and he was not cleared in time to play.
Rex Burkhead, RB, NE: Knee -- OUT/IR
Impact: James White should see a big uptick in usage.
N'Keal Harry, WR, NE: Shoulder -- Active
Impact: Jakobi Meyers is likely to remain as only a secondary target behind Harry this week.
Ryan Izzo, TE, NE: Hamstring -- Active
Impact: He will try to play through his injuries, as he has done for most of the season.
Nick Folk, K, NE: Back -- Active
Impact: Similarly, this lingering issue was always unlikely to keep Folk from the gridiron on Sunday.
Adam Humphries, WR, TEN: Concussion -- OUT
Impact: A trio of relatively unknown WRs will attempt to fill in, with none worthy of fantasy note.
Defense
Josh Mauro, DE, ARI: Hamstring -- OUT/IR
Jalen Thompson, S, ARI: Ankle -- OUT
Charles Washington, S, ARI: Groin -- Active
Dante Fowler Jr., DE, ATL: Hamstring -- Active
Tahir Whitehead, LB, CAR: Ribs -- Active
Donte Jackson, CB, CAR: Toe -- Inactive
Mackensie Alexander, CB, CIN: Hamstring -- Active
Denzel Ward, CB, CLE: Calf -- OUT
Andrew Sendejo, S, CLE: Groin -- Active
Bobby Okereke, LB, IND: Ankle -- OUT
Anthony Walker, LB, IND: Ribs -- Active
Khari Willis, S, IND: Ribs -- Active
Uchenna Nwosu, LB, LAC: Shoulder -- OUT
Casey Hayward Jr., CB, LAC: Groin -- OUT
Clelin Ferrell, DE, LV: Undisclosed -- Inactive
Erik Harris, S, LV: Calf -- Active
Lawrence Guy, DT, NE: Shoulder -- Active
Carl Davis, DT, NE: Concussion -- Active
Adam Butler, DT, NE: Shoulder -- Active
Ja'Whaun Bentley, LB, NE: Groin -- Active
Stephon Gilmore, CB, NE: Hand -- Active
Blake Cashman, LB, NYJ: Hamstring -- Active
Adoree' Jackson, CB, TEN: Knee -- OUT
4 p.m. ET games
Offense
Drew Lock, QB, DEN: Illness -- OUT
Impact: After COVID-19 exposure, all of the QBs who had been on Denver's active roster were ruled out for Sunday. Practice squad member Kendall Hinton is currently expected to step in as the signal-caller, but handoffs might be plentiful.
Jerry Jeudy, WR, DEN: Ankle -- Questionable
Impact: The same injury last week didn't keep Jeudy from suiting up.
Tyler Higbee, TE, LAR: Elbow -- Questionable
Impact: Game-time call. Gerald Everett's value would skyrocket if Higbee sits.
Deonte Harris, WR, NO: Neck -- Questionable
Impact: No practice all week. Marquez Callaway might be an interesting long shot.
Tevin Coleman, RB, SF: Knee -- OUT
Impact: Raheem Mostert and Jeff Wilson Jr. could split carries, assuming they are both active.
Jordan Reed, TE, SF: Illness -- Questionable
Impact: Ross Dwelley might see his fair share of targets if Reed misses the game.
Brandon Aiyuk, WR, SF: Illness -- Doubtful
Impact: Not expected to return from the COVID-19 list. Deebo Samuel, just off that list, is the lone viable fantasy option at WR here with the 49ers.
Defense
Bryce Callahan, CB, DEN: Foot -- Questionable
Javon Kinlaw, DT, SF: Undisclosed -- Questionable
Demetrius Flannigan-Fowles, LB, SF: Hamstring -- OUT
Dre Greenlaw, LB, SF: Illness -- Questionable
Sunday night game
Nick Foles, QB, CHI: Hip -- Doubtful
Impact: Mitchell Trubisky is tabbed to start this one, as the Bears' offense has struggled under Foles.
Akiem Hicks, DE, CHI: Hamstring -- Questionable
Marquez Valdes-Scantling, WR, GB: Achilles -- Questionable
Impact: He sat out practice on Friday, which is not a good sign. Allen Lazard's usage should see a big increase.
Kevin King, CB, GB: Achilles -- Questionable
Official Sunday inactives should begin coming in at approximately 11:30 a.m. ET for the early games and 2:30 p.m. ET for the late games.
