   Fantasy football Week 4 inactives: Coker ruled 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 4 Buzz  Week 4 Rankings | Matchup rankings for Week 4 Biggest concerns heading into Week 4 Players in London  Chig Okonkwo, TE, Commanders (hamstring): He has been limited in practice this week but is active. Okonkwo has missed the past two games and, though it is encouraging to have him back, I would not risk getting him into your lineups right away. After all, he will likely be third in the target pecking order in a game started by a backup QB. There is some upside long term, though, with Daniels potentially nearing a return. Okonkwo is a stash for TE-needy teams. Terry McLaurin, WR, Commanders (hamstring): Washington's top receiver was added to the injury report Friday and is indeed inactive for Sunday's game. Stefon Diggs was already a strong start as both the top slot option for the Commanders and man-coverage target. The Colts have allowed the most yards to slot receivers and play man at the third-highest rate in the NFL. With McLaurin sitting, Diggs gets an added boost in volume. Players with early starts ACTIVE Lamar Jackson, QB, Ravens (back): Jackson scared away fantasy managers when he was limited in Wednesday's practice because of a back injury. He later returned to full practice and is active in Week 4. Never bench him in fantasy. Zay Flowers, WR, Ravens (hamstring): Flowers was questionable headed into the weekend but is indeed active for today's game. He has earned must-start status as the clear focal point of the Ravens' passing attack. DJ Moore, WR, Bills (shoulder): Buffalo's top receiver had been limited in practice and even wore a red noncontact jersey. That's the same thing that happened last week, and Moore ended up playing and getting 10 targets. He is active for Week 4. Also working in Moore's favor is that Patriots star CB Christian Gonzalez is out this week. Moore is Buffalo's top target when going against man defense, and New England uses that coverage at the second-highest NFL rate. He should be started in all leagues this week. D'Andre Swift, RB, Bears (knee): Swift was added to the team's official injury report Thursday, but did not carry an injury designation heading into Sunday. He is active and fantasy managers can start him without worry. Tyson Bagent, QB, Bears (concussion): Bagent is back at practice and reportedly took first-team reps this week. He is active and currently expected to start. Those who were planning on streaming Case Keenum in superflex leagues should pivot to Bagent. Luther Burden III is the only Bears pass catcher to start with confidence this week. Nico Collins, WR, Texans (hamstring): Collins logged limited practices to start the week before getting in a full session Friday. He is active for Week 4 against the Cowboys — a strong matchup for the receiver. Fantasy managers should get him in their starting lineup with confidence. Puka Nacua, WR, Rams (hip): The star receiver has been limited at practice this week, but coach Sean McVay said he is "good to go" for Week 4. He is indeed active. Even if he ends up being on a snap count, this one is as simple as it can get in fantasy football: Nacua is playing for the Rams, so he needs to start in fantasy. Drake Maye, QB, Patriots (shoulder): Yes, Maye was a full participant all week and is active for Week 4. However, he appeared on the team's official injury report for the first time all season. It's a situation worth monitoring, but until we see otherwise, it's fine to ben

   Head coach Dan Quinn said McLaurin (hamstring) "pushed to play" before being deemed inactive for Sunday's game against the Colts in London, Tashan Reed of The Washington Post reports.

   The Commanders added McLaurin to their Week 4 injury report Friday due to a hamstring issue that left him questionable ahead of Sunday's contest. On Saturday, Ben Standig of The Team 980 Washington D.C. reported McLaurin was trending toward an absence, and indeed he was among the team's inactives Sunday. Considering Quinn's comments, McLaurin seemingly has a decent chance to return next Sunday versus the Giants.

   McLaurin (hamstring) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Colts in London.

   McLaurin was added to the Week 4 injury report Friday, taking a questionable tag into the weekend after the hamstring issue resulted in him being limited in the Commanders' final practice. Though the Commanders were initially hopeful that the wideout would be able to play through the injury Sunday, the team ultimately erred on the side of caution and opted to hold McLaurin out for the first time all season. With McLaurin sidelined, the Commanders will be left with Stefon Diggs, Antonio Williams, Treylon Burks and Dyami Brown as their main options at receiver.

   McLaurin (hamstring) is expected to miss Sunday's game against the Colts in London, Ben Standig of The Team 980 Washington D.C. reports.

   McLaurin popped up on Friday's injury report due to a hamstring injury, which drew him the questionable tag for Sunday's game. The injury appears severe enough for the veteran wide receiver to be doubtful for Week 4, and if he's in fact ruled out, then Stefon Diggs and Antonio Williams would serve as the Commanders' top wide receivers, with Dyami Brown and Treylon Burks also in the mix for more targets from quarterback Marcus Mariota.

   McLaurin (hamstring) was added to the injury report Friday and is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Colts, Nicki Jhabvala of The Athletic reports.

   McLaurin appears to have injured his hamstring in Friday's practice, which is rarely a good sign for a player's availability just before a game day. If McLaurin is unable to go Sunday, Stefon Diggs, Dyami Brown and rookie Antonio Williams would be in line to absorb most of the wideout work for the Commanders. With this game kicking off early Sunday morning in London, fantasy managers will have options to pivot off McLaurin should he be deemed inactive.
