Week 12 inactives: Who’s in and who’s out?

Whom should you start? Whom should you sit? 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 inactives lists. Any rankings cited in this column come from our ESPN Fantasy staff ranks.

Official Sunday inactives should begin coming in 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.

Refresh often for the latest information.

4 p.m. ET games

Emari Demercado, RB, ARI — Questionable
Impact: Even if he does get back into action this week, it’s likely to be mostly James Conner in the backfield.

Michael Wilson, WR, ARI — OUT
Impact: Marquise Brown and Zach Pascal are both questionable, so Greg Dortch could once again lead the Cardinals in targets.

Marquise Goodwin, WR, CLE — OUT
Impact: He’s still not ready to return following his concussion. Elijah Moore has seen 14 targets over the past two games.

Kadarius Toney, WR, KC — OUT
Impact: Additionally, Mecole Hardman Jr. (thumb) was placed on IR, so Skyy Moore gets an upgrade.

Jerick McKinnon, RB, KC — OUT
Impact: Clyde Edwards-Helaire should get a chance to see some touches behind Isiah Pacheco.

Kyren Williams, RB, LAR — Activated from IR
Impact: He should immediately take back No. 1 RB duties from Royce Freeman.

Ben Skowronek, WR, LAR — Questionable
Impact: Meanwhile, in fantasy-relevant Rams receiver news, Puka Nacua and Cooper Kupp are both fully expected to play.

Dallas Goedert, TE, PHI — OUT
Impact: Grant Calcaterra is also hurt, so Jack Stoll will start and get most of the Eagles’ TE work.

Sunday night game

Odell Beckham Jr., WR, BAL — Questionable
Impact: He’s lining up to be a game-time call, but if he can play through the pain, the targets will be there for the taking after TE Mark Andrews‘ placement on the IR.

Zay Flowers, WR, BAL — Questionable
Impact: Rashod Bateman would be in line for a huge upgrade in fantasy value if Beckham and/or Flowers sit.

Jalen Guyton, WR, LAC — Questionable
Impact: He’s still not certain to play, but Keenan Allen has been removed from the injury report.

Gerald Everett, TE, LAC — Questionable
Impact: Even if he is able to suit up, he will still split time with Donald Parham Jr.

1 p.m. ET games

Mack Hollins, WR, ATL — OUT
Impact: KhaDarel Hodge should be in line for a bunch of targets.

Taylor Heinicke, QB, ATL — Active
Impact: He’ll be the backup to Desmond Ridder, who has been reinstated as the Falcons’ starting quarterback.

Hayden Hurst, TE, CAR — OUT
Impact: Tommy Tremble saw only three targets last week while replacing Hurst.

Chase Brown, RB, CIN — Active
Impact: Fresh off the IR, he should see some work behind Joe Mixon.

Tee Higgins, WR, CIN — OUT
Impact: Higgins sits for the third straight game. Trenton Irwin has had nine targets over the past two games.

Dameon Pierce, RB, HOU — Active
Impact: He practiced in full all week, so expect at least some share of the workload alongside Devin Singletary.

Noah Brown, WR, HOU — OUT
Impact: It should be another week for Nico Collins and Tank Dell to shine.

Zay Jones, WR, JAX — Active
Impact: He played through his knee injury last week, so his being active is not a surprise.

DeVante Parker, WR, NE — Active
Impact: He’s cleared the league’s concussion protocol and will play.

Kendre Miller, RB, NO — OUT
Impact: Jamaal Williams continues to back up Alvin Kamara.

Darius Slayton, WR, NYG — Active
Impact: Despite being listed as doubtful, he’s going to give it a try. Isaiah Hodgins would be in line for a few more targets if Slayton stumbles.

Rachaad White, RB, TB — Active
Impact: A late-in-the-week downgrade raised eyebrows, but he apparently will play alongside Chase Edmonds. Ke’Shawn Vaughn is a healthy scratch.

Treylon Burks, WR, TEN — OUT
Impact: A larger piece of the receiving pie is on tap for DeAndre Hopkins and Nick Westbrook-Ikhine.
