AJ Mass, ESPN Staff Writer
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 before the scheduled kickoff times: around 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.

Dalton Kincaid, TE, BUF: Knee — OUT
Impact: Dawson Knox gets a chance to shine. Kincaid is likely to return in Week 13 following the Bills’ bye.
Amari Cooper, WR, BUF: Wrist — Active
Impact: As many had surmised, he will play. Keon Coleman, on the other hand, is inactive.
Josh Reynolds, WR, DEN: Hand — OUT/IR
Impact: He’s still recovering from surgery, so Devaughn Vele keeps his marginal fantasy value for now.
Isiah Pacheco, RB, KC: Ankle — OUT/IR
Impact: Pacheco is not yet ready to return, so Kareem Hunt gets at least one more week of lead-back duties.
Harrison Butker, K, KC: Knee — OUT/IR
Impact: Spencer Shrader will handle kicking duties while Butker recovers from surgery.
Noah Fant, TE, SEA: Groin — OUT
Impact: AJ Barner starts in his stead. Brady Russell (foot) is also out for Week 11.
George Kittle, TE, SF: Hamstring — Inactive
Impact: Kittle had been reported as being unlikely to play for some time, so hopefully you made sure to have another TE option at the ready.
Sunday night game
Charlie Jones, WR, CIN: Groin — OUT
Impact: Tee Higgins (quad) was removed from the injury report and should play.

Sam LaPorta, TE, DET: Shin — OUT
Impact: Brock Wright will replace him in Detroit. Look elsewhere on the waiver wire to replace him for your fantasy team if you can.
MarShawn Lloyd, RB, GB: Illness — OUT
Impact: He had been on track to return from IR after ankle and hamstring woes, but now the rookie is now dealing with appendicitis and may not even be able to come back this season as a result.
Trevor Lawrence, QB, JAX: Shoulder — OUT
Impact: Mac Jones will start again this week. Lawrence is aiming for a Week 13 return, following the team’s bye.
Tank Bigsby, RB, JAX: Ankle — OUT
Impact: Travis Etienne Jr. should end up handling the majority of carries in the Jacksonville backfield. D’Ernest Johnson will handle the backup RB duties.
Harrison Bryant, TE, LV: Ankle — OUT
Impact: Bryant was backing up Brock Bowers, but he may no longer have those honors when he returns.
Michael Mayer, TE, LV: Personal — Active
Impact: He practiced all week and has been activated from IR.
Jamaal Williams, RB, NO: Groin — OUT
Impact: Taysom Hill gets at least one more week as the Saints’ “No. 2 RB” behind Alvin Kamara.
Cedrick Wilson Jr., WR, NO: Shoulder — Active
Impact: Marquez Valdes-Scantling might not be as appealing a flex play. Mason Tipton is inactive.
Davante Adams, WR, NYJ: Wrist — Active
Impact: He was seen practicing on Friday, leading to the assumption that he will be fine to play on Sunday.
Jaylen Warren, RB, PIT: Back — Active
Impact: Najee Harris (ankle) was removed from the injury report and will start. Warren will attempt to handle his share of touches.
Tyler Boyd, WR, TEN: Back — Active
Impact: His addition to the injury report on Saturday was not a good sign, but it looks like he’ll try to play. Nick Westbrook-Ikhine could still be the safer pick.
