NFL Week 5 fantasy football inactives watch

Who should you start? Who should you sit? 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 official inactives lists, typically about 90 minutes before kickoff. Any rankings cited in this column come from our ESPN Fantasy staff ranks.

Official Sunday inactives should begin coming in approximately 90 minutes prior to the scheduled kickoff time, including around 11:30 a.m. ET for the early games and 2:30 p.m. ET for the late games.

Offense

Christian McCaffrey, RB, CAR: Hamstring — Doubtful
Impact: This could be the last “Chuba Hubbard Sunday” for the near future.

Joe Mixon, TE, CIN: Ankle — Questionable
Impact: It’s looking more like Samaje Perine and Chris Evans will split carries here, even though Mixon will likely attempt to play.

Teddy Bridgewater, QB, DEN: Concussion — Questionable
Impact: He has cleared the league protocol in time to start in this one.

Melvin Gordon III, RB, DEN: Leg — Questionable
Impact: He should play, though a split workload with Javonte Williams is to be expected.

Impact: It might be only Tim Patrick, Kendall Hinton, and David Moore on the field at WR for Denver.

Albert Okwuegbunam, TE, DEN: Hamstring — OUT/IR
Impact: Noah Fant no longer has to share TE targets.

Jamaal Williams, RB, DET: Hip — Questionable
Impact: Limited in practice this week, but expected to play.

D’Andre Swift, RB, DET: Groin — Questionable

Impact: Likely to start, but don’t be surprised to see Darren Fells in the huddle at some point.

Danny Amendola, WR, HOU: Thigh — Questionable
Impact: He’s healthy enough that the team released Anthony Miller.

DeVante Parker, WR, MIA: Shoulder — Questionable
Impact: Albert Wilson and Jaylen Waddle could see increased action.

Dalvin Cook, RB, MIN: Ankle — Questionable
Impact: He’s a game-time call, with Alexander Mattison likely to see a lot of touches either way.

Nick Folk, K, NE: Knee — Questionable
Impact: Let’s face it. He’s likely to be listed as questionable every week until he retires.

Giovani Bernard, RB, TB: Knee — Questionable
Impact: Still only the No. 3 RB behind Leonard Fournette and Ronald Jones II.

Rob Gronkowski, RB, TB: Ribs — OUT
Impact: Cameron Brate should take over for a very banged-up Gronk.

Impact: A.J. Brown, however, is back for the Titans.

Nick Westbrook-Ikhine, WR, TEN: Hamstring — Questionable
Impact: He’s done well subbing for his injured teammates and may well do so one more time.

Antonio Gibson, RB, WAS: Shin — Questionable
Impact: J.D. McKissic will do as much as needed, with Gibson a possible game-time call.

Cam Sims, WR, WAS: Hamstring — OUT
Impact: Terry McLaurin and Adam Humphries will start.

Dyami Brown, WR, WAS: Knee — OUT
Impact: DeAndre Carter and Dax Milne are likely to see some looks.
