To help you set your lineups and avoid starting a player who won't take the field, we will post fantasy-relevant updates and analysis here as NFL teams release their inactives lists, typically about 90 minutes before kickoff. Any rankings cited in this column come from our ESPN Fantasy staff ranks. Refresh often for the latest information.
4 p.m. ET gamesOffenseDavid Johnson RB ARI: back -- Active
Impact: Chase Edmonds might still see some work, but Johnson will play. Damiere Byrd WR ARI: hamstring -- Active

Impact: Trent Sherfield and KeeSean Johnson will both try to fill his shoes. Randall Cobb WR DAL: back -- Inactive

Impact: Preston Williams gains value with Grant unable to play. Drew Brees QB NO: thumb -- OUT
