NFL Week 5 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.


Note: The Denver-New England game originally scheduled for Sunday has been postponed and both teams will have a bye. The Buffalo-Tennessee game has been moved from Sunday and is currently scheduled for Tuesday night.

Sunday night game

Quinton Dunbar, CB, SEA: Knee -- Active


4 p.m. ET games

Offense

Jakeem Grant, WR, MIA: Illness -- Active
Impact: Apart from some return yardage, there's no real fantasy value to be found here.

Jordan Howard, RB, MIA: Team decision -- Inactive
Impact: Healthy scratch. One of the most-dropped players over the past week can now be dropped in even more leagues.

Raheem Mostert, RB, SF: Knee -- Active
Impact: Likely to be in a timeshare with Jerick McKinnon this week.

Deebo Samuel, WR, SF: Illness -- Active
Impact: Will be in the huddle alongside QB Jimmy Garoppolo. Nick Mullens is inactive.

Defense

Larry Ogunjobi, DT, CLE: Oblique -- OUT

Karl Joseph, S, CLE: Hamstring -- Inactive

Darius Leonard, LB, IND: Groin -- OUT

Anthony Walker, LB, IND: Ankle -- Active

Shaq Lawson, DE, MIA: Shoulder -- OUT

Kyler Fackrell, LB, NYG: Neck -- Active

Jabrill Peppers, S, NYG: Ankle -- Active

1 p.m. ET games

Offense

Darrell Daniels, TE, ARI: Thigh -- Active
Impact: Not much fantasy value for Daniels, and he takes away value from Dan Arnold to boot.

Julio Jones, WR, ATL: Hamstring -- Inactive
Impact: He didn't practice all week, so this is not a surprise. Time to give Olamide Zaccheaus a gander?

Lamar Jackson, QB, BAL: Knee -- Active
Impact: Missed time midweek, but there was never any real reason to think he wouldn't be ready for Sunday.

Chris Moore, WR, BAL: Thigh -- Inactive
Impact: Still not ready to make his 2020 debut. Still iffy for fantasy purposes when he does return.

Marquise Brown, WR, BAL: Knee -- Active
Impact: Practiced fully on Friday and was always expected to suit up.

Nick Boyle, TE, BAL: Thigh -- Active
Impact: Even if he sees a lot of snaps, the targets simply haven't been there.

Mark Andrews, TE, BAL: Thigh -- Active
Impact: With so many names on Baltimore's injury list, most of them were likely placed there for show. Andrews will play.

Joe Mixon, RB, CIN: Shin -- Active
Impact: After such a big Week 4, it would have taken a lot to keep Mixon out of the huddle.

John Ross III, WR, CIN: Illness -- Inactive
Impact: He's been getting scratched even when healthy. Tee Higgins' performance has been stellar.

Bryan Edwards, WR, LV: Ankle -- OUT
Impact: Hunter Renfrow again enters the flex conversation.

Rico Gafford, WR, LV: Hamstring -- Active
Impact: Zay Jones could repeat last week's solid effort and is the better dart-throw pick.

Henry Ruggs III, WR, LV: Knee -- Active
Impact: Full participation late in week. Could be worth a flex flier.

Sam Darnold, QB, NYJ: Shoulder -- OUT
Impact: Joe Flacco starts for what has been an underwhelming offense thus far.

Le'Veon Bell, RB, NYJ: Shoulder -- Activated from IR
Impact: After leaving early in Week 1, Bell is finally ready to return. Will split carries with Frank Gore.

Breshad Perriman, WR, NYJ: Ankle -- Inactive
Impact: Beyond Jamison Crowder, there's not a lot to see here with the Jets' WR corps.

Chris Hogan, WR, NYJ: Ribs -- Active
Impact: He will compete with Jeff Smith for Week 5 looks.

DeSean Jackson, WR, PHI: Hamstring -- OUT
Impact: Greg Ward takes top WR honors for the Eagles in Week 5.

Alshon Jeffery, WR, PHI: Illness -- OUT
Impact: Still seems to be a week away from making his 2020 debut.

Dwayne Haskins Jr., QB, WSH: Illness -- Inactive
Impact: Kyle Allen was already going to start, but Haskins was asked not to come to the stadium because of a non-COVID illness.
