Should there be concern about Darren Waller on the injury report?

Stefania Bell explains why she’s optimistic Darren Waller will be able to play more for the Giants than Saquon Barkley on Sunday night.

Who should you start with? Who should you sit with? 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-related updates and analysis here when NFL teams release their official inactive rosters. Any ratings mentioned in this column come from our website ESPN Fantasy staff ranks.

Official inactive attendance on Sunday must begin approximately 90 minutes prior to scheduled kickoff times: approximately 8 AM ET for the London game, 11:30 AM ET for early games, and 2:30 PM ET for late afternoon games.

Update frequently to get the latest information.


Games are at 4 p.m. ET

Marquise Brown, WR, ARIactive
Impact: Although he recovered from illness this week, he appears to be able to play.

Sam LaPorta, TE, DETactive
IMPACT: As reported earlier this afternoon, Laporta will be suiting up for the event.

Jahmir Gibbs, RB, DETOutside
Impact: David Montgomery will likely handle roughly 20 touches in Detroit’s backfield.

JuJu Smith-Schuster, WR, NEOutside
IMPACT: Tyquan Thornton has been activated from IR to join the pool in 3-WR sets. Kayshun Buti is once again a healthy inactive.


Sunday night game

Dawson Knox, TE, BUFDoubtful
Impact: He has trained in a limited way all week and is heading towards the start, which is good news as…

Dalton Kincaid, TE, BUFDoubtful
IMPACT: … Kincaid has not yet cleared the league’s concussion protocol, so his Sunday is currently on hold.

Daniel Jones, QB, NYGOutside
Impact: Tyrod Taylor is at center for the Giants this week, so temper your expectations.

Saquon Barkley, RB, NYGDoubtful
Impact: He has been training this week and looks like he is finally ready to return to action.

Darren Waller, TE, New YorkDoubtful
Impact: Assuming he plays, he could end up being Taylor’s favorite target.


9:30 AM ET

Keaton Mitchell, RB, BALactive
IMPACT: The rookie practiced all week in anticipation of joining Judge Hill in backup to Gus Edwards.

Trelon Burks, WR, TENOutside
Impact: Nick Westbrook-Ikhine will get a raise, but DeAndre Hopkins is still the top WR option on the Titans.


Games are at 1 p.m. ET

Miles Sanders, RB, CAROutside
Impact: Chuba Hubbard should get most of the running back touches for the Panthers, and Laviska Shenault Jr. will probably watch. Some hardware operations.

Roshawn Johnson, RB, CHIOutside
IMPACT: With Khalil Herbert (ankle) now on IR, D’Onta Foreman gets a chance to handle backfield duties.

Travis Homer, RB, CHIOutside
Impact: A missed opportunity to get some touches for a homer. Darrenton Evans will support Foreman.

T Higgins, WR, CINactive
Impact: The Bengals had a bye in Week 7, so with Higgins active, he’s likely close to 100%.

Deshaun Watson, QB, CLEOutside
Impact: PJ Walker will start in Week 6, but we may see Dorian Thompson-Robinson at some point this week, or in the coming weeks if Walker struggles.

David Njoku, TE, CLEactive
Impact: He played before last week’s bye, so it’s no surprise he’s ready to leave today.

Robert Woods, WR, HOUactive
IMPACT: He’s had some practice this week, so Woods may start alongside Nico Collins.

TANK DELL, WR, HOUInactive
IMPACT: Noah Brown has been activated from IR and may take over Dell’s quick stake.

Z Jones, WR, JacksOutside
Impact: The Jaguars will likely rely heavily on the duo of Christian Kirk and Calvin Ridley.

Jeff Wilson Jr., RB, MIAOutside
Impact: There was talk of activating it from IR this week, but it doesn’t appear to be ready. Salvon Ahmed should back Raheem Mostert once again.

Chase Claypool, WR, MIAInactive
Impact: Apparently, Miami isn’t ready to send its recently acquired receiver into game action.

Joan Johnson, TE, NOOutside
Impact: Once again, the tandem of Jimmy Graham and Foster Morrow will get its share of targets.

Elijah Mitchell, RB, SFactive
Impact: Jordan Mason may still be in line for some backup touches.
