Fantasy football Week 9 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 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 prior to the scheduled kickoff times: around 8 a.m. ET for the Germany game, 11:30 a.m. ET for the early games and 2:30 p.m. ET for the late-afternoon games.

Refresh often for the latest information.

9:30 a.m. ET

Clyde Edwards-HelaireRB, KC — OUT
Impact: Jerick McKinnonwho has been dealing with a groin injury, will serve as backup to Isiah Pacheco.

Braxton BerriosWR, MIA — Questionable
Impact: Perhaps Chase Claypool could see some extra targets if Berrios is unable to go.

Durham SmytheYOU, MINE — Questionable
Impact: Miami doesn’t use the TE position much in their passing game, regardless of who suits up.

1 p.m. ET games

Kyler MurrayQB, ARI — OUT
Impact: Murray has one more week left in his activation window, but for now, Clayton Tune starts.

Michael WilsonWR, ARI — Questionable
Impact: Even if he is able to play, there’s not much value to be found this deep on Arizona’s receiving tree.

Emari DemercadoRB, ARI — OUT
Impact: James Conner can return in Week 10. Keaontay Ingram will try to hold down the fort for now.

Drake LondonWR, ATL — OUT
Impact: Van Jefferson could benefit from London’s absence, but a lot depends on who QB Taylor Heinicke targets.

Justin FieldsQB, CHI — Doubtful
Impact: Tyson Bagent will start again in Week 9, but Fields could conceivably get a look on Thursday of Week 10.

Brevin JordanTHE, NEW — OUT
Impact: Dalton Schultz should see most of the TE targets.

Robert WoodsWR, HOU — OUT

Dameon PierceRB, HOU — OUT
Impact: Devin Singletary gets an opportunity to handle the bulk of Houston’s backfield touches.

Matthew StaffordQB, LAR — Questionable
Impact: Brett Rypien is expected to step into the huddle with Stafford unlikely to be able to play.

Laviska Shenault Jr.WR, CAR — OUT
Impact: Jonathan Mingo continues to have the time to get comfortable with QB Bryce Young.

Tyrod TaylorQB, NYG — OUT/IR
Impact: Luckily for the Giants, Daniel Jones is ready to return at quarterback.
