Fantasy football Week 10 inactives: Status for Tetairoa McMillan, Cooper Kupp and others

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.

What we're watching for late

Active for Sunday's games

• Jordan Whittington, WR, LAR (back): No. 1 WR Puka Nacua (ribs) was removed from the injury report and will play. Even with Whittington active, Xavier Smith might have slightly more value.

• Cooper Kupp, WR, SEA (hamstring): Kupp is active today, but Tory Horton (groin) is inactive. Dareke Young (quad) and Jake Bobo (calf) had already been ruled out. With so many WR injuries, Rashid Shaheed will be pressed into action with his new team immediately.

Ruled inactive for Sunday

• Brock Purdy, QB, SF (toe): Once again, Mac Jones is starting for the 49ers. It was thought that this would be the week that Purdy would finally be allowed to suit up as the backup, but alas, he is again inactive.

Ruled out before Sunday

• Kyler Murray, QB, ARI (foot): Jacoby Brissett was already given the starting nod here, but this makes the "changing of the guard" official for at least the next month.

• Ka'imi Fairbairn, K, HOU (quad): Matthew Wright was called up from the practice squad to handle kicking duties.

• C.J. Stroud, QB, HOU (concussion): Davis Mills makes his first start of the season here. The team is hoping that Stroud can return for next week's meeting with the Bills.

• Hunter Long, TE, JAX (hip): With Brenton Strange (hip/quad) already on the IR, this leaves Johnny Mundt as the top option in the team's TE room.

• Brian Thomas Jr., WR, JAX (ankle): Parker Washington and the newly acquired Jakobi Meyers should be in line for the majority of WR targets. Dyami Brown (concussion) was removed from the injury report and will also play.

• Joshua Karty, K, LAR (team decision): Harrison Mevis will kick for the Rams, with Karty getting time off to think about the eight kicks he has missed already this season.

• Rhamondre Stevenson, RB, NE (toe): Expect the tandem of TreVeyon Henderson and Terrell Jennings to handle backfield duties.

• Kayshon Boutte, WR, NE (hamstring): Mack Hollins and Kyle Williams stand to benefit the most from Boutte's status.

• Graham Gano, K, NYG (neck): Younghoe Koo provides some experience in the kicking game. Woes at this position have plagued the Giants all season long.

• Ricky Pearsall, WR, SF (knee): Another week, another DNP for Pearsall. Jauan Jennings did catch a TD pass last week, so perhaps he stays hot.

• Bucky Irving, RB, TB (foot): Rachaad White should handle most of the carries here, but Sean Tucker (groin) is not on Tampa Bay's final injury report, so he may see some touches, too.

• Chris Godwin Jr., WR, TB (leg): It may be a few more weeks before Godwin can go. Sterling Shepard and Tez Johnson will fill in alongside Emeka Egbuka.

• Jayden Daniels, QB, WAS (elbow): Marcus Mariota takes over for Daniels, who is expected to miss in the neighborhood of three to six weeks.

• Terry McLaurin, WR, WAS (quad): For whatever reason, the Commanders don't want to put McLaurin on IR. The current buzz is that the receiver might return in Week 13 -- might.

What we were watching for early

• The Atlanta Falcons and Indianapolis Colts are squaring off in Berlin, with a 9:30 a.m. ET kickoff time. Inactives for this game came out at around 8 a.m. ET, however no players of note were listed for either team.

Active for today's games

• Tetairoa McMillan, WR, CAR (hamstring): A late-week add to the injury report raised some alarms, but he is active. Xavier Legette and Jalen Coker might still see some added fantasy value if McMillan struggles.

• D'Andre Swift, RB, CHI (groin): Swift was absent from practice on Friday due to a personal matter, but he's active and ready to play. Kyle Monangai (ankle) was removed from the injury report and will also be in the Bears' huddle.

• Harold Fannin Jr., TE, CLE (hamstring): He is active, so David Njoku may not have a chance to fully shine. Additionally, WR Cedric Tillman (hamstring) was activated from IR and will play.

• Ollie Gordon II, RB, MIA (ankle): De'Von Achane's main backup is active, but Gordon's value is already capped by Achane's presence.

• Aaron Jones Sr., RB, MIN (shoulder): He missed practice on Wednesday, but is active today. He will be in the Minnesota huddle.

• Alvin Kamara, RB, NO (ankle): He is active and will indeed suit up. That said, Devin Neal may still get a bunch of carries, especially if the game gets out of hand.

• Garrett Wilson, WR, NYJ (knee): The receiver said he would be out there for the Jets on Sunday -- and he is active. As to which QB the team will send out there to throw the ball his way? ESPN's Adam Schefter reports early Sunday morning that Justin Fields has finally been named as the starter for Week 10. In news regarding receivers recently traded to the Jets, John Metchie III is active today, but Adonai Mitchell is not.

Ruled inactive for Sunday

• Joshua Palmer, WR, BUF (knee): He was limited in practice all week, but is inactive and unable to suit up for the first time since Week 6.
