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 inactives, typically about 90 minutes before kickoff. Any rankings cited in this column come from our ESPN Fantasy staff ranks.
Note: The Baltimore-Pittsburgh game originally scheduled for Thanksgiving night has been postponed until Sunday due to multiple players from the Ravens having testing positive for COVID-19.

Randall Cobb, WR: Toe — OUT/IR
