What should you start with? Who should you sit next to? 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 inactive lists.
Official Sunday inactives should begin arriving approximately 90 minutes before the scheduled kickoff time: approximately 11:30 AM ET for early games and 2:30 PM ET for late-afternoon games.

what we were looking for for a long time
Ruled inactive for Sunday
rejected before sunday
-
Drake London, WR, ATL (knee): Darnell Mooney remains the Falcons’ top WR option as London is a long way from bouncing back this season.
-
Omarion Hampton, RB, LAC (ankle): Kimani Vidal will once again take over lead-back duties for the Chargers after the team decided Hampton was not yet ready to return from IR.
-
Michael Mayer, TE, LV (ankle): Even better for those fantasy managers counting on TE Brock Bowers.
-
JJ McCarthy, QB, Min (concussion): Max Brosmer will start for the Vikings, who remain optimistic McCarthy can return to the team next week.
-
Alvin Kamara, RB, NO (knee): Kamara will not be placed on IR, but is still likely to miss a few weeks. Devin Neal (ankle) was removed from the Saints’ injury report and will start.
-
Eddie Pineiro, K, SF (hamstring): Matt Gay, who handled the kicking duties for the 49ers in Week 12, will do so again on Sunday.
-
Jaden Daniels, QB, WAS (elbow): Daniels could return next week but, for now, Marcus Mariota remains under center for the Commanders.
-
Noah Brown, WR, WAS (groin): Brown is not ready to return from IR yet. Meanwhile, Terry McLaurin (quad) practiced all week and was not named on the team’s final injury report.

-
Tyler Warren, TE, IND (illness): Feel free to start Warren as it is ActiveIf he suffers any kind of setback, Mo Alie-Cox could get some TE targets from QB Daniel Jones, who will try to play despite a fractured fibula,

Chig Okonkwo, TE, TEN (ft): Consider this whether Okonkwo will actually be able to play a full 60 minutes, even if he ActiveEither way, you’ll probably want to look elsewhere for fantasy purposes,
