Whom should you start? Whom should you sit? To help you set your fantasy football lineups and 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 official inactives lists. Any rankings cited in this column come from our ESPN Fantasy staff ranks.
Official Sunday inactives should begin coming in approximately 90 minutes prior to the scheduled kickoff times, including around 11:30 a.m. ET for the early games and 2:30 p.m. ET for the late games.
Refresh often for the latest information.
4 p.m. ET games
Offense
Kyler Murray, QB, ARI: Hamstring — Inactive
Impact: Colt McCoy will jump into the proverbial saddle.

Mo Alie-Cox, TE, IND: Ankle — Active
Impact: If you wanted to add Kylen Granson, just in case, I guess there’s nobody stopping you.
Matthew Stafford, QB, LAR: Concussion — Inactive

9:30 a.m. ET game
Marquise Goodwin, WR, SEA: Groin — Active
Impact: He was able to practice in full on Friday, which bodes well for his chances at success today.
Russell Gage, WR, TB: Hamstring — OUT
Impact: Julio Jones gets to join Mike Evans and Chris Godwin in 3-WR sets.
Cameron Brate, TE, TB: Neck — Active
Impact: He practiced all week long, so he might finally be ready to take his No. 1 TE job back.
1 p.m. ET games
Offense
Josh Allen, QB, BUF: Elbow — Active
Impact: Allen is active, but that doesn’t mean we won’t see at least some Case Keenum, if not a lot.

Impact: Harrison Bryant will start again in Week 10, and maybe this time he’ll get a target sent his way.
KJ Hamler, WR, DEN: Hamstring — OUT
Impact: Kendall Hinton should be the team’s No. 3 WR this week.
Josh Reynolds, WR, DET: Back — OUT
Impact: Kalif Raymond gets another chance to try to make some offensive noise, but he’s been very quiet thus far.

Impact: It still remains to be seen whether all is forgiven after his recent comments.
Nico Collins, WR, HOU: Groin — Active
