NFL Week 4 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.

Offense

DeAndre Hopkins, WR, ARI: Ankle -- Active

Impact: Practiced Friday, so it's not a surprise that he's giving it a go.
