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.

4 p.m. ET games

Offense

Joe Mixon, RB, CIN: Illness — Questionable

Impact: Fully expected to play despite getting banged up during this week’s practices.

Melvin Gordon III, RB, DEN: Hip — Questionable
Impact: Expected to play, but with Mike Boone going on the COVID-19 list late, keep an eye on the Broncos’ RB situation.

Impact: Expect the Lions to roll with the tandem of Jermar Jefferson and Godwin Igwebuike as Jamaal Williams (COVID-19) is also out.

T.J. Hockenson, TE, DET: Hand — Doubtful

Impact: Jeff Wilson Jr. and JaMycal Hasty are pretty much all that’s left to handle committee work.
