Our fantasy team provides updated inactives and analysis based on the latest reports and official announcements leading up to kickoff.
Whom should you start? Whom should you sit? To help you set your fantasy football lineups and to avoid starting a player who won’t be playing, 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, 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. James Conner, RB, ARI: Ankle — Questionable Impact: Chase Edmonds is back from IR… and potentially just in the nick of time. DeAndre Hopkins, WR, ARI: Knee — OUT/IR Impact: Antoine Wesley might be the « replacement » for Hopkins. Zach Ertz, TE, ARI: Hamstring — Questionable Impact: He got in some limited practice on Friday, so he should be good to go. Emmanuel Sanders, WR, BUF: Knee — Doubtful Impact: Gabriel Davis should have Josh Allen ‘s full attention. DJ Moore, WR, CAR: Hamstring — Questionable Impact: He’s expected to play, but he’ll have a combination of Cam Newton and P.J. Walker throwing the ball his way. Tony Pollard, RB, DAL: Foot — Questionable Impact: He may be limited if he does suit up, so expect Ezekiel Elliott to get most of the carries. D’Andre Swift, RB, DET: Shoulder — OUT Impact: Expect a tag-team approach that includes Craig Reynolds and Godwin Igwebuike. T.J. Hockenson, TE, DET: Thumb — OUT/IR Impact: His thumb surgery elevates Brock Wright. David Johnson, RB, HOU: COVID-19 — Expected to play Impact: He wasn’t exactly racking up the yards before first getting hurt, then getting sick. Rex Burkhead, RB, HOU: Hip — Questionable Impact: He was not expected to play when the week started, but may have improved enough to convince his coaches.
