Sunday's fantasy football inactives watch: Who's in and who's out?

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.

Raheem Mostert, RB, SF: Knee -- Active
Impact: ... but Mostert might get his fair share of touches, too.

Emmanuel Sanders, WR, SF: Ribs -- Active

Offense

Austin Hooper, TE, ATL: Knee -- OUT
Impact: Expected to miss about a month. Luke Stocker to start, but unlikely to make waves.
