Inactives watch: Who's in and who's out?

Written by

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 official inactives lists, typically about 90 minutes before kickoff. 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 time, 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.


1 p.m. ET games

Jamaal Williams, RB, DET: Thigh -- Questionable
Impact: Jermar Jefferson would step into a backup role if Williams can't go.

D'Andre Swift, RB, DET: Groin -- Questionable
Impact: He's been banged up all season but would get a big boost in value if Williams sits.

Pharaoh Brown, TE, HOU: Thigh -- Questionable
Impact: Brevin Jordan might actually see the field if Brown is out.

T.Y. Hilton, WR, IND: Quad -- Questionable

DeSean Jackson, WR, LAR: Team decision -- OUT
Impact: Van Jefferson steps up for the Rams as the team seeks to trade the veteran Jackson.

DeVante Parker, WR, MIA: Shoulder -- Questionable

Impact: Mike White should start this week, with Joe Flacco possibly taking over next week.

Tevin Coleman, RB, NYJ: Hamstring -- OUT
Impact: Michael Carter becomes New York's RB1, with Ty Johnson getting a few crumbs.

Corey Davis, WR, NYJ: Hip -- Doubtful
Impact: Elijah Moore and Keelan Cole gain a little value. Very little.

Tyler Kroft, TE, NYJ: Back -- Questionable
Impact: Looking to return for the first time in over a month, this is a risky fantasy play.

Miles Sanders, RB, PHI: Ankle -- OUT/IR
Impact: Kenneth Gainwell may see a lot more touches, though Jordan Howard was promoted to the roster.

Eric Ebron, TE, PIT: Hamstring -- OUT
Impact: Pat Freiermuth gets another chance to raise some fantasy eyebrows.

Julio Jones, WR, TEN: Hamstring -- OUT

Impact: No timetable exists for his return to the field.

Dwayne Washington, RB, NO: Neck -- OUT
Impact: The arrival of Mark Ingram II fills whatever void this absence may have created.

Deonte Harris, WR, NO: Hamstring -- Questionable
Impact: Practiced enough this week to make a Week 8 start likely.

Alex Collins, RB, SEA: Groin -- Questionable
Impact: He's expected to play, but Rashaad Penny is the more optimistic fantasy option.

Antonio Brown, WR, TB: Ankle -- OUT
Impact: Mike Evans and Chris Godwin get to battle it out for top Tampa Bay WR honors.
