   Fantasy football Week 3 inactives: Puka Nacua out for Sunday Night Football

   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.  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. Don't forget to check these out: Mike Clay's Playbook | Week 3 Buzz  Week 3 Rankings | Matchup rankings for Week 3 Biggest concerns heading into Week 3 Players with early starts ACTIVE DJ Moore, WR, Bills (shoulder): Moore is active for Week 3. He has not missed a game since 2020. It should be noted that Moore was limited and wore a noncontact jersey twice during this past week, so while fantasy managers should plan to start him, he may be somewhat limited. Keon Coleman, WR, Bills (ankle): Coleman also missed practice this week, but was able to log a limited session Friday and is active. However, that is more of a boost for Josh Allen and the Bills than it is fantasy managers. Jalen Coker, WR, Panthers (ankle): After missing practice Thursday, Coker returned in a limited fashion Friday — his second practice of the week. He is active for Week 3. He has seen nine targets in both games this season. In fact, his usage is very similar to Tetairoa McMillan, only Coker is seeing a higher number of efficient targets.  Malik Nabers, WR, Giants (shoulder): Nabers suffered his injury during "Monday Night Football" but was able to return to the field. He did pop up on the practice report this week but was able to log in full practices and is active for Week 3. He is a more volatile fantasy option with Jameis Winston under center — especially this week with bad weather. In most weeks, Nabers should still be viewed as a fantasy WR2. However, given the conditions today, lower him to a WR3. I would rather go with DJ Moore, Jaylen Waddle, Ladd McConkey or Tee Higgins. Play Nabers over Emeka Egbuka, Terry McLaurin, DK Metcalf and Jameson Williams. Michael Pittman Jr., WR, Steelers (foot): After missing Week 2, Pittman was able to log limited practices this week and is active for Week 3. Even so, Pittman is nothing more than a low-floor flex option due to the struggling Steelers passing attack. The list of streaming options mentioned above are all receivers I would rather play than Pittman. Jadarian Price, RB, Seahawks (chest): Price was limited at practice to start the week but got in a full practice on Friday and is active for Week 3. The Seahawks face the Commanders, who have been "middle of the road" against RBs. However, game script should largely be on Seattle's side. As such, Price is an RB2 play who can be started over Travis Etienne Jr., Warren, Rhamondre Stevenson and any Broncos RB. Emanuel Wilson could still see touches after he turned 21 carries into 92 yards last week. He brings a low-floor, but the matchup has him in play for those having to dive deeper at the RB position. Sam Darnold, QB, Seahawks (glute): The Super Bowl-winning QB returned to practice this week and is active against the Commanders. Though his status elevates those around him, Darnold is still only a QB2 for fantasy purposes, I would not start him ahead of Tyler Shough, Kyler Murray, Bryce Young and C.J. Stroud.  Tyjae Spears, RB, Titans (ankle): Tennessee's passing-downs back did not practice to open the week but was able to log in a limited session Friday. Although it was uncertain, he is indeed active for Week 3. Spears has handled the bulk of passing-down opportunities while splitting snaps with Tony Pollard. With Spears active, both he and Pollard are purely just flex options in what is expected to be a low-scoring game with lots of bad weather. I would rather play Travis Etienne Jr, Kyle Monangai, Blake Corum, and both Patriots RBs. INACTIVE Adonai Mitchell, W

   Coleman (ankle) is being placed on injured reserve Saturday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

   Coleman has been diagnosed with a high-ankle sprain and was unable to practice all week. He'll now go on IR and will be required to miss at least four games, meaning the earliest he can return is Week 7 against the Cardinals on Sunday, Oct. 25. With Coleman sidelined, Tyler Badie could see an uptick in offensive snaps as the third option in the Broncos' backfield behind J.K. Dobbins and RJ Harvey.

   Coleman (ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Rams.

   A reporter spotted Coleman on the field for Friday's practice, but he apparently didn't end up participating as the Broncos ultimately gave him the 'DNP' designation. It does seem Coleman could be back as soon as Week 4, though it's not clear what his role would be. For now, Denver's backfield work will largely fall to J.K. Dobbins and RJ Harvey versus Los Angeles.

   Coleman (ankle) returned to practice Friday, Zac Stevens of DNVR Sports reports.

   J.K. Dobbins and RJ Harvey also have been banged up, but both upgraded to full practice participation Thursday and seem ready to play this Sunday against the Rams. Coleman's status is less clear, though he might not have much of a role anyway with both Dobbins and Harvey on track to play. With Harvey out last week and Dobbins exiting early, Coleman took 13 touches for 58 yards and a TD in the 20-13 win over Jacksonville. A repeat performance doesn't appear likely this week, but he's at least started building his case for role growth throughout the season.

   Coleman (ankle) was listed as a non-participant on Thursday's injury report.

   Coleman was present for Thursday's session, but the ankle injury he sustained Sunday prevented him from getting any work for the second time in as many days. Backfield mates J.K. Dobbins and RJ Harvey are in the clear for Week 3 after both practiced fully Thursday, and Coleman likely will need to get at least some work in Friday if he hopes to join them.
