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 at approximately 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.
1 p.m. ET games
Offense
Russell Gage, WR, ATL: Ankle -- OUT

Andy Dalton, QB, CHI: Knee -- Doubtful
Impact: Justin Fields has already been announced as the Week 4 starter.
Darnell Mooney, WR, CHI: Groin -- Questionable

Deshaun Watson, QB, HOU: Team decision -- OUT
Impact: Davis Mills continues to start, and struggle, for the Texans.
Danny Amendola, WR, HOU: Thigh -- OUT
Impact: Chris Conley and Anthony Miller to get a lot more snaps.
Carson Wentz, QB, IND: Ankle -- Questionable
Impact: There's no reason to believe Wentz won't attempt to play through his injury.
Jonathan Taylor, RB, IND: Knee -- Questionable
Impact: He's expected to play, albeit with a banged-up supporting cast.
Jack Doyle, TE, IND: Back -- Questionable
Impact: Practiced a bit on Friday, which would lean toward a Sunday start.
Dalvin Cook, RB, MIN: Ankle -- Questionable
Impact: Practiced at least a little bit every day this week. Expect a Week 4 start.
Sterling Shepard, WR, NYG: Hamstring -- OUT
Impact: Collin Johnson and Kadarius Toney to supplement Kenny Golladay.
Darius Slayton, WR, NYG: Hamstring -- OUT
Impact: John Ross was activated from IR but is unlikely to see much action, if any.
Kaden Smith, TE, NYG: Knee -- Questionable
Impact: We're still waiting for either Smith or Evan Engram to have a breakout game.
La'Mical Perine, RB, NYJ: Illness -- Questionable
Impact: Michael Carter, Tevin Coleman, and Ty Johnson are likely to battle for touches.
Elijah Moore, WR, NYJ: Concussion -- OUT
Impact: His absence will allow Denzel Mims to suit up this week.
Jamison Crowder, WR, NYJ: Groin -- Questionable

Tyler Kroft, TE, NYJ: Ribs -- Questionable

Offense
Lamar Jackson, QB, BAL: Back -- Questionable
Impact: Jackson plans to play, with new backfield mate RB Le'Veon Bell possibly in the mix for carries.
Melvin Gordon III, RB, DEN: Ribs -- Questionable
Impact: Either way, Javonte Williams may well end up with the most touches in the Denver backfield.
Marquez Valdes-Scantling, WR, GB: Hamstring -- OUT/IR
Impact: Could Allen Lazard have one or two splash plays in him?
Darrell Henderson Jr., RB, LAR: Ribs -- Questionable
Impact: Buddy Howell again gets the call from the practice squad, but Henderson should still play.
Chase Claypool, WR, PIT: Hamstring -- OUT
Impact: TE Pat Freiermuth may end up as the biggest beneficiary of Claypool's absence in terms of targets.
Rashaad Penny, RB, SEA: Calf -- OUT/IR
Impact: Alex Collins and Travis Homer will back up Chris Carson.
Dee Eskridge, WR, SEA: Concussion -- Doubtful
Impact: It's been a tough few weeks for Eskridge, which has led to more work for Freddie Swain.
Tyler Lockett, WR, SEA: Hip -- Questionable
Impact: He is fully expected to give it a go on Sunday.
Gerald Everett, TE, SEA: COVID-19 -- Doubtful
Impact: Barring multiple consecutive negative tests for Everett, Will Dissly will get the start.
Elijah Mitchell, RB, SF: Shoulder -- Questionable
Impact: Given the late start, it's far safer to roll with either Trey Sermon or even Kyle Juszczyk -- especially since reports are out there that Mitchell won't play.
George Kittle, TE, SF: Calf -- Questionable
Impact: This may end up being a game-time call, so be sure to have a backup plan in place, just in case.

Jason Pierre-Paul, DE, TB: Shoulder -- OUT
Jamel Dean, CB, TB: Knee -- OUT
Nick Folk, K, NE: Knee -- Questionable

Kyle Van Noy, LB, NE: Groin -- Questionable
J.C. Jackson, CB, NE: Knee -- Questionable
