Week 17 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.

Refresh often for the latest information.


1 p.m. ET games

Offense

Colt McCoy, QB, ARI: Concussion — OUT
Impact: Apparently, things aren’t quite right just yet with McCoy, so the Cardinals will turn to David Blough.

DeAndre Hopkins, WR, ARI: Knee — OUT
Impact: Pick your poison, given the QB scenario here: Marquise Brown, Greg Dortch, A.J. Green or Robbie Anderson.

Tommy Tremble, TE, CAR: Hip — Active
Impact: He could be good for a couple of catches, but not much more.

Dante Pettis, WR, CHI: Ankle — Active
Impact: Equanimeous St. Brown has cleared concussion protocol, so you could also pivot in his direction, if needed.

Chase Claypool, WR, CHI: Knee — Active
Impact: Claypool is likely to dominate the target count.

Jerry Jeudy, WR, DEN: Ankle — Active
Impact: He’s expected to play this weekend.

Kendall Hinton, WR, DEN: Hamstring — Active
Impact: Courtland Sutton is ready to return to action, limiting most of Hinton’s upside.

Greg Dulcich, TE, DEN: Hamstring — OUT/IR
Impact: Could this mean a return to fantasy relevance for Albert Okwuegbunam?

Dare Ogunbowale, RB, HOU: Knee — Active
Impact: Royce Freeman may not have to share as many carries this week.

Teagan Quitoriano, TE, HOU: Knee — OUT
Impact: Admit it. You had no idea he was the Texans’ starting TE before reading this. Jordan Akins and Brevin Jordan will share targets.

Kylen Granson, TE, IND: Ankle — OUT
Impact: Can Nick Foles-to-Jelani Woods win you a fantasy title?

Trevor Lawrence, QB, JAX: Toe — Active
Impact: Although this game is technically meaningless to the Jaguars, Lawrence will play.

Tua Tagovailoa, QB, MIA: Concussion — OUT
Impact: The Dolphins will have to rely on Teddy Bridgewater to try to get them to the postseason.

Rhamondre Stevenson, RB, NE: Ankle — Active
Impact: He will probably end up splitting some of the RB duties with Damien Harris.

DeVante Parker, WR, NE: Concussion — OUT
Impact: Expect Jakobi Meyers and Nelson Agholor to start.

Tyquan Thornton, WR, NE: Knee — Active
Impact: Given Parker’s injury, there’s a huge opportunity here.

Hunter Henry, TE, NE: Knee — Active
Impact: He should have a monopoly on any TE targets …

Jonnu Smith, TE, NE: Concussion — OUT
Impact: … with no other active options on the depth chart.

Chris Olave, WR, NO: Hamstring — Active
Impact: He will start alongside the likes of Rashid Shaheed and Tre’Quan Smith.

Jalen Hurts, QB, PHI: Shoulder — OUT
Impact: Once again, Gardner Minshew is going to start for the Eagles.

Julio Jones, WR, TB: Knee — Active
Impact: All signs point to Jones being able to dress for this one.

Antonio Gibson, RB, WAS: Knee — OUT
Impact: Brian Robinson Jr. could have a huge day as a result.

4 p.m. ET games

Offense

Christian Watson, WR, GB: Hip — Questionable
Impact: He’s looking like a game-time call, so having Allen Lazard as an alternative is not a bad idea.

Ben Skowronek, WR, LAR: Calf — OUT
Impact: Hello, Van Jefferson and Tutu Atwell? Is this thing on?

Tyler Higbee, TE, LAR: Elbow — Questionable
Impact: He’s fully expected to play this week and catch as many passes from Baker Mayfield as possible.

Kenneth Walker III, RB, SEA: Ankle — Questionable

Tyler Lockett, WR, SEA: Hand — Questionable
Impact: There’s not much else in the WR room beyond Lockett and DK Metcalf.

Jimmy Garoppolo, QB, SF: Foot — OUT
Impact: Since Garoppolo is “not able to move around and do stuff yet,” Brock Purdy remains the man.
