Whom should you start? Whom should you sit? To help you set your fantasy football lineups and avoid starting an offensive 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.

Official Sunday inactives should begin coming in approximately 90 minutes before the scheduled kickoff times: around 11:30 a.m. ET for the early games and 2:30 p.m. ET for the late-afternoon games.

Refresh often for the latest information.

What we're watching for late


Ruled out before Sunday


What we were watching for early

Active for today's games

  • Andy Dalton, QB, CAR (thumb): Bryce Young (ankle) practiced in full all week and reclaims his starting QB position. Dalton is active and will back him up.

  • Joe Flacco, QB, CIN (shoulder): The veteran is active and will start this weekend. Jake Browning waits in the wings, just in case.

  • Brandon McManus, K, GB (quad): He is active, but be cautious. He played through this same injury last week and missed two field goals.

  • Dalton Schultz, TE, HOU (knee): He practiced in full on Friday and is active. Even so, the return of WRs Christian Kirk (hamstring) and Nico Collins (concussion) limits Schultz's ceiling.

Ruled inactive for today's games

  • Will Dissly, TE, LAC (illness): He is inactive. The emergence of Oronde Gadsden II has pretty much made Dissly a fantasy nonfactor.

  • Daniel Bellinger, TE, NYG (neck): With Bellinger inactive, Theo Johnson is in line for a solid day as the Giants' primary TE option.

  • Brock Purdy, QB, SF (toe): He is inactive. Mac Jones will start again for the 49ers, but it does look good for Purdy to get back in the huddle for Week 10.
