Who should you start with? Who should you sit To help you determine your fantasy football line-ups and to avoid starting a player who isn't on the line-up, we post fantasy-related updates and analysis here when NFL teams post their inactivity, usually around 90 Minutes before kick-off. All rankings mentioned in this column come from our ESPN Fantasy employees.
Update frequently to get the latest information.

Zane Gonzalez, K, ARI: Back from
Impact: Mike Nugent has been promoted from the training team to take his place for at least a week.
Christian McCaffrey, RB, AUTO: Thigh – OUT
Impact: Adam Schefter reports that McCaffrey doesn't think his season is over. For now, Mike Davis will continue to play in his place.
Ian Thomas, TE, AUTO: Knee – questionable

Tee Higgins, WR, CIN: Hamstring – questionable
Impact: He should get dressed on Sunday as he did not get worse for wear and tear during the week.
Ezekiel Elliott, RB, DAL: Calf – questionable
Impact: Don't worry too much that it won't fit. Second cast Tony Pollard stays ready.
David Johnson, RB, HOU: Disease – OUT / IR
Impact: He was added to the reserve / COVID-19 list. Duke Johnson takes on the # 1 RB duties for Houston.
Brandin Cooks, WR, HOU: Foot – questionable
Impact: Cooks are dubious, but Keke Coutee should be active. With WR there are few alternative options …
Keke Coutee, WR, HOU: Knee – questionable
Impact: … for the Texans, with Isaiah Coulter perhaps the best of a bad bunch.
Tyler Eifert, TE, JAX: Shoulder – questionable
Impact: James O & # 39; Shaughnessy could be in play if Eifert can't leave this weekend.
Myles Gaskin, RB, MIA: Shoulder – OUT / IR
Impact: It would have been Gaskin's show, but DeAndre Washington is now Miami's # 1 RB …
Salvon Ahmed, RB, MIA: Shoulder – OFF
Impact: … with Patrick Laird and Elijah McGuire, who support him.
Alexander Mattison, RB, MIN: Appendix – OUT
Impact: Ameer Abdullah again plays a very distant second violin against Dalvin Cook.
Kyle Rudolph, TE, MIN: Foot – Doubtful
Impact: After Rudolph has not trained for the whole week, it does not look good for Rudolph …
Irv Smith Jr., TE, MIN: Back – questionable
Impact: … but could he try if Smith can't? Stranger things have happened.
Daniel Jones, QB, NYG: Hamstring – questionable
Impact: Aside from last-minute setbacks, Jones should be back in the Giants group.
Cameron Brate, TE, TB: Disease – questionable
Impact: Rob Gronkowski may not have as much competition for goals in the red zone if Brate cannot be cleared to play.

offense
Julio Jones, WR, ATL: Hamstring – OUT
Impact: Russell Gage will have the chance to reinforce himself alongside Calvin Ridley.
Matthew Stafford, QB, DET: Thumb – questionable
Impact: No reason Stafford won't continue auditioning for other teams in the hopes of finding a new home for the next season.
D & # 39; Andre Swift, RB, DET: Disease – questionable

Impact: Cunning veteran Mohamed Sanu Sr. has an additional week to remain potentially fantasy-relevant.
Equanimeous St. Brown, WR, GB: Concussion – questionable
Impact: If he's seated, the uptrend rises for Allen Lazard, who continues to sit on a quick count.
Jace Sternberger, TE, GB: Concussion – OUT
Impact: Robert Tonyan was already the best fantasy option at TE of Green Bay.
Josh Jacobs, RB, LV: Ankle – questionable
Impact: He is expected to be called at game time, but the signs suggest he can play.
Deonte Harris, WR, NO: Neck – questionable
Impact: If he plays, no more than a Special Team's worth is expected of him this week as Taysom Hill will be QB for what may be the last time before Drew Brees returns.
Frank Gore, RB, NYJ: Concussion – questionable
Impact: If Gore can actually play there is no need to notify Ty Johnson.
Jamison Crowder, WR, NYJ: Calf – questionable
Impact: He was included in the injury report late. Denzel Mims will miss this game for personal reasons, leaving Breshad Perriman the only other recipient of interest.
Travis Homer, RB, SEA: Knee – doubtful
Impact: Oh, good. It hardly matters that Chris Carson and Carlos Hyde are back and just getting healthier week after week.
