Inactive Fantasy Football Week 6: Who’s in and who’s out?

Inactive Fantasy Football Week 6: Who’s in and who’s out?

Who should you start with? Who should you sit on? To help you set your fantasy football lineups and avoid using an offensive player who won’t be in the lineup, we’ll be posting fantasy-related updates and analysis here as NFL teams release their official inactive lists . All rankings cited in this column come from our ESPN Fantasy staff.

Official inactive players on Sunday should arrive approximately 90 minutes before the scheduled kickoff times: approximately 11:30 a.m. ET for early games and 2:30 p.m. ET for late afternoon games.

Update regularly to get the latest information.


9:30 a.m. London game

Gabe Davis, WR, JAX: Knee — Questionable
Impact: Although he has had limited opportunities in practice, he has traveled all the way to London so he will probably give it a go.

Evan Engram, TE, JAX: Hamstring – Questionable
Impact: If you’ve ever bothered to fly across the Atlantic, why don’t you get dressed?


Play at 1 p.m. ET

Matt Prater, K, ARI: Knee — Questionable
Impact: Chad Ryland was again called up from the practice squad. Expect Ryland to take over the kicking duties.

Zay Jones, WR, ARI: Hamstring – OUT OF
Impact: His suspension is over, but it may take some time before he is ready to play.

Rasheen Ali, RB, BAL: Neck — Questionable
Impact: With Derrick Henry and Justice Hill doing so well, there’s no reason to rush the rookie.

Deonte Harty, WR, BAL: Knee — Questionable
Impact: Rashod Bateman (groin) has been removed from the injury report and will start.

Nick Chubb, RB, CLE: Knee — OUT OF
Impact: As the “Return from IR Clock” continues to tick, Jerome Ford will take over RB1 duties…

Nyheim Hines, RB, CLE: Knee — OUT OF
Impact: …with Pierre Strong Jr. and D’Onta Foreman in the mix for backup work.

Christian Watson, WR, GB: Ankle — Questionable
Impact: Dontayvion Wicks could step up his game as Watson has been limited all week.

Luke Musgrave, TE, GB: Ankle — OUT/IR
Impact: Tucker Kraft’s outstanding play makes this loss bearable.

Joe Mixon, RB, HOU: Ankle — Questionable
Impact: He is expected to play. Meanwhile, Dameon Pierce (ankle) has been removed from the injury report.

Robert Woods, WR, HOU: Foot — OUT OF
Impact: Also expect Stefon Diggs and Tank Dell to shine with Nico Collins (hamstring) on ​​the IR.

Anthony Richardson, QB, IND: Oblique – Questionable
Impact: This is probably a mid-game decision, but I’m leaning towards him playing. However, with all the WR issues, expect a lot of handoffs.

Jonathan Taylor, RB, IND: Ankle — OUT OF
Impact: Trey Sermon (collarbone) has been removed from the injury report and should start.

Josh Downs, WR, IND: toe — Questionable
Impact: Looks like he’ll perform, but don’t expect big stats this weekend.

Michael Pittman Jr., WR, IND: Back — Questionable
Impact: Training took place in full on Friday, despite rumors of an impending IR stay. It’s a very precarious situation, but he traveled with the team.

Rhamondre Stevenson, RB, NE: Foot — OUT OF
Impact: Antonio Gibson and JaMycal Hasty will act as a tag team in the backfield.

Kendrick Bourne, WR, NE: Knee — Questionable
Impact: Even if he plays, having Drake Maye make his debut as the starting QB isn’t ideal.

KJ Osborn, WR, NE: shoulder — Questionable
Impact: Similar to Bourne, there isn’t much potential here even if he can leave.

Derek Carr, QB, NO: Oblique – OUT OF
Impact: Has the “Spencer Rattler Era” officially begun?

Kendre Miller, RB, NO: Hamstring – Activated via IR
Impact: Still, Alvin Kamara (hip/hand) was taken off the injury report and should once again dominate touches in the backfield.

Taysom Hill, TE, NO: ribs – OUT OF
Effect: More Foster Moreau.

Rachaad White, RB, TB: Foot — Doubtful
Impact: Expect Bucky Irving early and often in this game.

Jalen McMillan, WR, TB: Hamstring – Questionable
Impact: The expectation is that he will play even though he is nowhere near the fantasy value of Mike Evans or Chris Godwin.

Trey Palmer, WR, TB: concussion — OUT OF
Impact: Both Palmer and Kameron Johnson (ankle) will remain sitting, so Tampa Bay’s WR depth chart is pretty sparse.

Brian Robinson Jr., RB, WAR: Knee — OUT OF
Impact: At least Austin Ekeler (heel) was removed from the injury report.


4 p.m. ET games

Ian Thomas, TE, CAR: Calf — Activated via IR
Impact: He was scheduled to replace Tommy Tremble (concussion), who was ruled out.

Diontae Johnson, WR, CAR: Ankle — Questionable
Impact: He should be able to play, as should Xavier Legette (shoulder), who was taken off the injury report.

Audric Estime, RB, DEN: Ankle — Activated via IR
Impact: He should be a small part of the backfield committee.

Josh Reynolds, WR, DEN: hand — OUT/IR
Impact: Lil’Jordan Humphrey increases in value. Marvin Mims Jr. and/or Troy Franklin could see a few additional targets.

Gus Edwards, RB, LAC: Ankle — OUT/IR
Impact: JK Dobbins will receive most of the RB contact. Kimani Vidal could see some replacement work.

Zamir White, RB, LV: groin area – Questionable
Impact: It’s still not clear whether White or Alexander Mattison will lead this Las Vegas backfield in Week 6.

Davante Adams, WR, LV: hamstring – OUT OF
Impact: Another week lost. DJ Turner and Tre Tucker could have some level of fantasy relevance again.

Jakobi Meyers, WR, LV: Ankle — Doubtful
Impact: A demotion on Saturday doesn’t bode well for his playing chances.

Cordarrelle Patterson, RB, PIT: Ankle — OUT OF
Impact: Jaylen Warren (knee) has been removed from the injury report and will replace Najee Harris.

MyCole Pruitt, TE, PIT: Knee — OUT OF
Impact: Pat Freiermuth (calf) has now been removed from the injury report and will start.


Game on Sunday evening

Malik Nabers, WR, NYG: concussion — OUT OF
Impact: Darius Slayton and Wan’Dale Robinson will fill the void.

Devin Singletary, RB, NYG: groin area – OUT OF
Impact: We’ll see the team turn to rookie Tyrone Tracy Jr. again.

Chase Brown, RB, CIN: quad — Questionable
Impact: Zack Moss (foot) is expected to play fairly evenly and share carries.
