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. Any rankings cited in this column come from our ESPN Fantasy staff ranks.
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.
Alvin Kamara, RB, NO: Groin — OUT Impact: Kamara could well sit out next week as well. Kendre Miller should head a RB committee.
Chris Olave, WR, NO: Head — OUT Impact: Although he practiced early in the week, there was little reason for the Saints to play him this week.
Marquez Valdes-Scantling, WR, NO: Chest — Questionable Impact: With Olave sitting, MVS becomes the Saints’ WR MVP for Week 17.
Malik Nabers, WR, NYG: Toe — Questionable Impact: All signs point to a typical Sunday of action for Nabers.
Davante Adams, WR, NYJ: Hip — Questionable Impact: With little left to play for but pride, the fact Adams practiced at all this week points to him playing on Sunday.
Jalen Hurts, QB, PHI: Concussion — OUT Impact: Kenny Pickett is dealing with some sore ribs, but he will start in place of Hurts.
Cade Otton, TE, TB: Knee — OUT Impact: My prediction? Payne (as in Payne Durham, who will start in Otton’s place).
Sterling Shepard, WR, TB: Hamstring — OUT Impact: There’s no reason to try to figure out who gets the targets left over after Mike Evans and Jalen McMillan have their fill.
Christian Watson, WR, GB: Knee — Questionable Impact: While there is still an outside chance Watson can go, Dontayvion Wicks is the more likely No. 3 WR for the Packers this week.
Tua Tagovailoa, QB, MIA: Hip — Doubtful Impact: It’s a must-win situation for Miami, but Tyler Huntley might be the guy to get snaps under center.
Tyreek Hill, WR, MIA: Wrist — Questionable Impact: He’s been playing through this injury for some time now. Expect him to start.
Jaylen Waddle, WR, MIA: Knee — Questionable Impact: There’s some optimism he can play, but this is looking likely to be a game-time call.
