Week 16 inactives: Who's in and who's out?

Whom should you start? Whom should you sit? To help you set your fantasy football lineups and avoid starting a 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 inactives should begin coming in approximately 90 minutes prior to each game’s scheduled kickoff time.

Sunday’s games

Green Bay Packers at Miami Dolphins, 1 p.m. ET

Aaron Jones, RB, GB: Knee — Questionable
Impact: AJ Dillon has cleared the league’s concussion protocol. He’ll likely share the RB work.

Jeff Wilson Jr., RB, MIA: Hip — Questionable
Impact: It sounds like he’ll play, likely to the chagrin of Raheem Mostert‘s fantasy managers.

Durham Smythe, TE, MIA: Quad — Questionable
Impact: If he sits, it only serves to increase Mike Gesicki‘s value.

Jerome Baker, LB, MIA: Ankle — Questionable

Jaelan Phillips, LB, MIA: Toe — Questionable

Eric Rowe, S, MIA: Hamstring — Questionable

Courtland Sutton, WR, DEN: Hamstring — Questionable
Impact: Things are pointing toward Sutton being able to play.

Kendall Hinton, WR, DEN: Hamstring — OUT
Impact: Hinton, on the other hand, will not be able to rev things back up.

Randy Gregory, LB, DEN: Knee — Questionable

K’Waun Williams, CB, DEN: Knee — Questionable

John Wolford, QB, LAR: Neck — OUT
Impact: This note is mainly here to remind you that Baker Mayfield will likely start the rest of the way.

Ben Skowronek, WR, LAR: Calf — OUT
Impact: He’s done for the season, leaving the likes of Van Jefferson and Tutu Atwell.

Aaron Donald, DT, LAR: Ankle — OUT

Tampa Bay Buccaneers at Arizona Cardinals, 8:20 p.m. ET

Julio Jones, WR, TB: Knee — Questionable

Jamel Dean, CB, TB: Toe — OUT

Antoine Winfield Jr., S, TB: Ankle — Questionable

Colt McCoy, QB, ARI: Concussion — OUT
Impact: Trace McSorley will start, but only because David Blough is a slightly worse idea.

Impact: The combination of the injury and the QB situation screams for you to steer clear.

Zach Allen, DT, ARI: Hand — OUT

Markus Golden, LB, ARI: Ankle — Questionable

Byron Murphy Jr., CB, ARI: Back — Questionable

Marco Wilson, CB, ARI: Neck — Questionable


Saturday’s 1 p.m. ET games

Offense

Lamar Jackson, QB, BAL: Knee — OUT
Impact: Tyler Huntley, questionable himself with a shoulder injury, will start.

Chase Claypool, WR, CHI: Knee — Inactive
Impact: Byron Pringle and Dante Pettis will compete for the attention of Justin Fields

Equanimeous St. Brown, WR, CHI: Concussion — OUT
Impact: … along with Velus Jones Jr. and N’Keal Harry.

Hayden Hurst, TE, CIN: Calf — OUT
Impact: Mitchell Wilcox will once again handle TE duties for the Bengals.

Nico Collins, WR, HOU: Foot — OUT/IR
Impact: Phillip Dorsett and Amari Rodgers could get some extra looks.

Brandin Cooks, WR, HOU: Calf — Active
Impact: Cooks, as expected, will try to return to action on Saturday.

Chris Moore, WR, HOU: Foot — Active
Impact: Moore is also able to start, but the cold weather plus a foot injury is a scary combo.

Damien Harris, RB, NE: Thigh — Inactive
Impact: He didn’t play last week either with the same amount of practice, so we hope you have an alternative.

Rhamondre Stevenson, RB, NE: Ankle — Active
Impact: Remember that Stevenson didn’t practice all that much last week and still ended up with 172 yards rushing.

DeVante Parker, WR, NE: Concussion — OUT
Impact: Mac Jones threw for all of 112 yards last week. No Patriots receiver is all that exciting.

Jakobi Meyers, WR, NE: Shoulder — Active
Impact: He practiced in limited fashion all week, but will be able to dress.

Tyquan Thornton, WR, NE: Knee — Active
Impact: There may be a catch or two in his future, but that’s probably all.

Chris Olave, WR, NO: Hamstring — OUT
Impact: Jarvis Landry is on IR, so Rashid Shaheed and Tre’Quan Smith will get the WR looks.

Kenneth Walker III, RB, SEA: Ankle — Active
Impact: He will play and is expected to handle the bulk of the RB work.

DeeJay Dallas, RB, SEA: Ankle — Active
Impact: He should be the RB2 on Seattle in the wake of Tony Jones Jr. being waived.

Tyler Lockett, WR, SEA: Finger — OUT
Impact: Penny Hart could be forced into the mix …

Marquise Goodwin, WR, SEA: Wrist — Active
Impact: … but Goodwin is the much better WR option here.

Noah Fant, TE, SEA: Knee — Active
Impact: Will Dissly would be the one to step up if Fant falters this week.

Ryan Tannehill, QB, TEN: Ankle — OUT
Impact: Malik Willis will take snaps in this one …

Treylon Burks, WR, TEN: Concussion — Active
Impact: … which doesn’t bode well for Burks’ receiving totals.
