NFL Week 1 fantasy football inactives watch: Who's in and who's out?

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 inactives, 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 games

Offense

Mike Williams, WR, LAC: Shoulder -- Active
Impact: Even though he is playing, this is a Tyrod Taylor-led offense. Avoid.

Virgil Green, TE, LAC: Quad -- Active
Impact: Hunter Henry should get the majority of TE targets.

Deebo Samuel, WR, SF: Foot -- OUT
Impact: Kendrick Bourne is the only completely healthy WR on the 49ers' roster worth a look.

Brandon Aiyuk, WR, SF: Hamstring -- Inactive
Impact: With Samuel on IR, Aiyuk could be a starter if he were healthy. Alas, he is not.

Tevin Coleman, RB, SF: Health concerns -- Active
Impact: Air quality issues may force him to be at diminished capacity. If so, Jerick McKinnon's value rises.

Mike Evans, WR, TB: Hamstring -- Active
Impact: Improved late in week. Justin Watson would be next in line.

Defense

Geno Atkins, DT, CIN: Shoulder -- OUT

Marcus Davenport, DE, NO: Elbow -- OUT

Sunday night game

Dallas Cowboys

No fantasy-relevant injuries of note headed into Sunday.

Los Angeles Rams

No fantasy-relevant injuries of note headed into Sunday.

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.


1 p.m. ET games

Offense

Chris Moore, WR, BAL: Finger -- OUT
Impact: Potential looks for Devin Duvernay/James Proche II.

David Montgomery, RB, CHI: Groin -- Active
Impact: Practiced late in the week and expected to play fully.

Cordarrelle Patterson, WR, CHI: Knee -- Active
Impact: Was trending toward playing, but not a huge fantasy factor.

Javon Wims, WR, CHI: Achilles -- Active
Impact: His injury still might open up a few looks for Darnell Mooney.

Eddy Pineiro, K, CHI: Groin -- OUT
Impact: Placed on IR. Cairo Santos has been activated.

Kenny Golladay, WR, DET: Hamstring -- Inactive
Impact: Marvin Hall should get the start in his stead.

Danny Amendola, WR, DET: Hamstring -- Active
Impact: Marvin Jones Jr. is the better Detroit WR pick.

N'Keal Harry, WR, NE: Shoulder -- Active
Impact: Should see expected amount of action across from Julian Edelman.

Joe Flacco, QB, NYJ: Neck -- OUT
Impact: Expected return is Week 3, when he'll back up Sam Darnold.

Denzel Mims, WR, NYJ: Hamstring -- OUT
Impact: Breshad Perriman, Jamison Crowder and Chris Hogan will split WR work.

Miles Sanders, RB, PHI: Hamstring -- OUT
Impact: Boston Scott will handle No. 1 RB duties.

Alshon Jeffery, WR, PHI: Foot -- OUT
Impact: Still could miss another month. Jalen Reagor gets a shot.

Phillip Dorsett II, WR, SEA: Foot -- Inactive
Impact: Wasn't a great option even if he had been able to start. David Moore may rise.
