NFL Week 7 fantasy football inactives watch: Who's in and who's out?

Fantasy NFL, NFL

Who should you start? Who should you sit? To help you set your fantasy football lineups and to 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, typically about 90 minutes before kickoff. 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 time, including around 11:30 a.m. ET for the early games and 2:30 p.m. ET for the late games.

Refresh often for the latest information.


Sunday night game

Jordan Wilkins, RB, IND: Illness -- OUT
Impact: Jonathan Taylor already was in line for RB1 value.

T.Y. Hilton, WR, IND: Quad -- OUT
Impact: Michael Pittman Jr. and Zach Pascal likely to get the most WR looks with Parris Campbell on IR.

Julian Blackmon, S, IND: Achilles -- OUT

Trey Lance, QB, SF: Knee -- OUT
Impact: Jimmy Garoppolo has been cleared to start, perhaps in the nick of time.

Javon Kinlaw, DT, SF: Knee -- OUT

4 p.m. ET games

Offense

Darrell Daniels, TE, ARI: Hamstring -- OUT
Impact: Zach Ertz is here and finally eligible to play for the Cardinals.

Allen Robinson II, WR, CHI: Ankle -- Active
Impact: Odds were always good that Robinson would be able to play. Breshad Perriman sits.

Damien Williams, RB, CHI: COVID-19 -- Cleared
Impact: He's back in the Bears' backfield, but may now split carries with Khalil Herbert.

Jimmy Graham, TE, CHI: COVID-19 -- OUT
Impact: Cole Kmet gets another chance to have greater fantasy impact.

D'Andre Swift, RB, DET: Groin -- Active
Impact: He's suiting up for Detroit and, therefore, probably should for you as well.

T.J. Hockenson, TE, DET: Knee -- Active
Impact: Practiced more as the week went on, which is always a good sign.

Chris Conley, WR, HOU: Neck -- Active
Impact: Danny Amendola is also active for today's game.

Nico Collins, WR, HOU: Foot -- Active
Impact: Davion Davis could see an increase in targets if any of the already banged-up Texans receivers get hurt.

Sony Michel, RB, LAR: Shoulder -- Active
Impact: How the workload split with Darrell Henderson Jr. breaks down today is anyone's guess.

Darren Waller, TE, LV: Ankle -- Inactive
Impact: Hopefully, you have another TE option from the late slate at your disposal. Perhaps Foster Moreau?

Antonio Brown, WR, TB: Ankle -- OUT
Impact: Mike Evans and Chris Godwin both have a lot more fantasy appeal.

O.J. Howard, TE, TB: Ankle -- Active
Impact: Practiced in full on Friday, which indicated he would get the start today.

Rob Gronkowski, TE, TB: Ribs -- OUT
Impact: Cameron Brate will see a lot of snaps -- and possibly more if Howard stumbles.

Alex Erickson, WR, CAR: Concussion -- Active
Impact: He could be a deep-league flex candidate.

Tyreek Hill, WR, KC: Quad -- Active
Impact: Practiced Friday, so it's not a surprise that he's giving it a go.

DeVante Parker, WR, MIA: Shoulder -- Inactive
Impact: Jaylen Waddle's value should remain strong.

Preston Williams, WR, MIA: Groin -- Active

Impact: Rhamondre Stevenson is a surprise inactive today.

Nick Folk, K, NE: Knee -- Active
Impact: Limited in early-week practice, but he is going to play until the leg falls off.

Impact: Dante Pettis could be pressed into starting action.

Kadarius Toney, WR, NYG: Ankle -- OUT
Impact: Collin Johnson might get a chance to see a few looks.

Sterling Shepard, WR, NYG: Hamstring -- Inactive
Impact: Suffered a late-week setback and will not play.

Darius Slayton, WR, NYG: Hamstring -- Active
Impact: He had very minimal practice this week, earning his questionable tag. Be cautious.
