Fantasy football Week 11 inactives: Who’s in and who’s out?

Who should you start? Who are you going to sit with? To help you set your fantasy football lineups and avoid starting an offensive player who won’t be in the lineup, we’ll post fantasy-relevant updates and analysis here as NFL teams release their official inactive lists. Any rankings quoted in this column come from our ESPN Fantasy staff.

Official Sunday inactives should begin arriving approximately 90 minutes before the scheduled kickoff times: around 11:30 a.m. ET for the early games and 2:30 p.m. ET for the late afternoon games.

Update often to get the latest information.


16:00 ET game

Dalton Kincaid, TE, BUF: knee — OUT
Impact: Dawson Knox gets a chance to shine. Kincaid is likely to return in Week 13 after the Bills’ bye.

Amari Cooper, WR, BUF: Wrist — Active
Impact: As many assumed, he will play. Keon Coleman, on the other hand, is inactive.

Josh Reynolds, WR, DEN: Hand — OUT/IR
Impact: He’s still recovering from surgery, so Devaughn Vele retains marginal fantasy value for now.

Isiah Pacheco, RB, KC: Ankle — OUT/IR
Impact: Pacheco is not yet ready to return, so Kareem Hunt will get at least one more week of return duties.

Harrison Butker, K, KC: knee — OUT/IR
Impact: Spencer Shrader will handle kicking duties while Butker recovers from surgery.

Noah Fant, TE, SEA: Groin — OUT
Impact: AJ Barner starts in his place. Brady Russell (foot) is also out for Week 11.

George Kittle, TE, SF: hoarding — Inactive
Impact: Kittle had been reported as unlikely to play for some time, so hopefully you’ve made sure to have another TE option ready.


Sunday night game

Charlie Jones, WR, CIN: groin — OUT
Impact: Tee Higgins (quad) was removed from the injury report and should play.


1 p.m. ET game

Sam LaPorta, TE, DET: The tibia — OUT
Impact: Brock Wright will replace him in Detroit. Look elsewhere on waivers to replace him for your fantasy team if you can.

MarShawn Lloyd, RB, GB: disease — OUT
Impact: He had been on track to return from IR after ankle and hamstring issues, but now the rookie is now dealing with appendicitis and may not even be able to return this season as a result.

Trevor Lawrence, QB, JAX: Shoulder — OUT
Impact: Mac Jones starts again this week. Lawrence aims to return in Week 13 after the team’s bye.

Tank Bigsby, RB, JAX: Ankle — OUT
Impact: Travis Etienne Jr. would end up handling the majority of the transportation in Jacksonville’s hinterland. D’Ernest Johnson will handle backup RB duties.

Harrison Bryant, TE, LV: Ankle — OUT
Impact: Bryant backed up Brock Bowers, but he may no longer have that honor when he returns.

Michael Mayer, TE, LV: Personal — Active
Impact: He practiced all week and has been activated from IR.

Jamaal Williams, RB, NO: Groin — OUT
Impact: Taysom Hill will get at least one more week as the Saints’ “No. 2 RB” behind Alvin Kamara.

Cedrick Wilson Jr., WR, NO: Shoulder — Active
Impact: Marquez Valdes-Scantling might not be that appealing of a flex play. Mason Tipton is inactive.

Davante Adams, WR, NYJ: Wrist — Active
Impact: He was seen practicing on Friday, leading to the assumption that he will be fine to play on Sunday.

Jaylen Warren, RB, PIT: Back — Active
Impact: Najee Harris (ankle) was removed from the injury report and will start. Warren will try to handle his share of touches.

Tyler Boyd, WR, TEN: Back — Active
Impact: His addition to the injury report on Saturday wasn’t a good sign, but it looks like he’ll try to play. Nick Westbrook-Ikhine could still be the safest choice.
