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 inactives should begin coming in approximately 90 minutes before each of the scheduled kickoff times.

Impact: Expect Montgomery to have a full workload Thursday.
Amon-Ra St. Brown, WR, DET: Knee -- Questionable
Impact: With a full practice Wednesday, it's looking like St. Brown will play.

New York Giants at Dallas Cowboys, 4:30 p.m. ET
Jake Ferguson, TE, DAL: Concussion -- OUT
Impact: Luke Schoonmaker should once again handle the majority of TE work.
Brandin Cooks, WR, DAL: Knee -- Activated from IR
Impact: Cooks will see the field for the first time since Week 4. Temper your expectations.
Tommy DeVito, QB, NYG: Forearm -- Questionable
Impact: Drew Lock is looking likely to start for the Giants. DeVito hasn't been ruled out, but also didn't originally travel with the team to Dallas on Wednesday.
Miami Dolphins at Green Bay Packers, 8:20 p.m. ET
Romeo Doubs, WR, GB: Concussion -- OUT
Impact: The turnaround time to clear protocol was just too short. Expect a fantasy value bump for Dontayvion Wicks.
Las Vegas Raiders at Kansas City Chiefs, Friday 3 p.m. ET
Spencer Shrader, K, KC: Hamstring -- Questionable
Impact: Matthew Wright would get the call if Shrader is unable to play.
Gardner Minshew, QB, LV: Collarbone -- OUT/IR
Impact: Minshew is done for the season after breaking his collarbone in Week 12.
Aidan O'Connell, QB, LV: Thumb -- Activated from IR
Impact: He's expected to start Friday, but Desmond Ridder might still end up seeing some QB action as well.
Zamir White, RB, LV: Quad -- Questionable
Impact: He hasn't practiced since Week 11's injury, so you should probably have other options ready to go.
Alexander Mattison, RB, LV: Ankle -- Questionable
Impact: He has had limited work this week. If he can play, he's likely to start ahead of Ameer Abdullah.
