   Fantasy football Week 4 inactives: DeVonta, Price out; McConkey, Coker questionable

   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

   Price (chest) was placed on injured reserve Saturday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

   Price saw his practice participation during Week 4 prep decline due to a chest injury before he was ruled out ahead of Sunday's game against the Chargers. The injury is severe enough for the rookie first-rounder to go on IR, meaning Price will be forced to miss at least the next four games and won't be eligible to return until at least Week 8 against the Bears on Sunday, Nov. 2. Emanuel Wilson and George Holani will serve as the Seahawks' top running backs for Week 4 due to Price's absence, but Zach Charbonnet (knee) could also be in the mix for backfield duties as soon as Week 5 against the 49ers if he's activated from the reserve/PUP list.

   Coach Mike Macdonald said Friday that Price has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Chargers, Curtis Crabtree of Fox 13 Seattle reports.

   Price opened the week as limited Wednesday due to his existing chest injury and then didn't practice at all Thursday. Macdonald also told Crabtree that Price aggravated the chest issue during Wednesday's session, and now that he'll miss the first game of his career, Emanuel Wilson figures to pace the Seahawks backfield in Week 4, with George Holani (ribs) on hand for any RB reps that linger.

   Price (chest) didn't practice Thursday, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

   Price opened Week 4 prep as limited Wednesday due to a chest issue, which didn't allow him to mix into any drills one day later. He thus has one more opportunity to practice Friday before the Seahawks potentially make a decision on his availability ahead of the weekend. Ultimately, if Price is limited or sidelined Sunday versus the Chargers, Emanuel Wilson likely would take on most of the early-down and short-yardage work, with George Holani on hand in a change-of-pace role.

   Follow your feelings, but here are the facts on these Week 4 fantasy football start-sit decisions

   It's often said that misery loves company. The idiom primarily implies that forlorn folks are on a mission to infect their happy-go-lucky counterparts with negativity and dread. That can be true. Whether at a social gathering or in everyday conversation, we've each encountered a Debbie Downer who can kill the vibe with a "yes, but" statement and an ill-timed shrug. But dig a little deeper and the message might change. Because often company eases misery. Sometimes we want to gather to vent and find comfort in each other's adversities. Whether it's a bad vacation bond, a text from your ex roast session, or a mutual fantasy football fail, there's something cathartic about knowing we're not solo in our struggles. That's not being an Eeyore. That's being a human. We crave community. Not to rain on parades, but to share umbrellas. So, when a Detroit sports fan called into the Facts vs Feelings: Fantasy Therapy voicemail line seeking lineup advice and a potential love connection … I listened. What group, after all, understands the catharsis of commiseration better than Lions fans? (I see you, Cleveland.) Who is more deserving of affection than those faithfully sporting Honolulu Blue? (Not right now, Silver and Black.) How do you ice out a die-hard whose team has never been to a Super Bowl? (You weren't even around in the 1900s, Houston.) Rather than embracing resignation, Luke from Los Angeles reached out. And as chance would have it, I'm good friends with an unattached Lions Baddie. The two, empathizing with each other's plight and delighting in the randomness of the universe, agreed to a meet cute. I joined them and their friends at a neighborhood bar on the East Side last Sunday. Introductions were made, nachos were smashed, and fight songs were sung. The two bonded over David Montgomery's slumping fantasy stats and their complicated fondness for Matthew Stafford. I don't know if this is a romcom in the making. But I can tell you that the second-largest city in the U.S. felt a little less lonely last weekend. Because two strangers — bonded by shared misery — became fast friends. They stayed open to possibility, even if the only payout was a good story. It's a lesson for all of us. Maybe flexing Denzel Boston didn't work out. Perhaps rolling with Terry McLaurin did. Either way, we have to stay bold in our choices. They may not all end in immediate triumph. The plot twists, however, could make for a winning journey… or at least a satisfying vent sesh. Week 4 Start-Sit decisions Trevor Lawrence, QB, Jacksonville Jaguars Lawrence investors certainly have reason to sound off after the Jags quarterback took a knee at the 1-yard line with eight minutes left in last Sunday's game versus New England. Had he charged beyond the goal line, T-Law would be averaging 19.3 fantasy points through three games, rivaling his career-high 19.9 from last year. Regardless, Lawrence has thrown seven TD passes over three weeks, posting a career-high completion percentage of 67, a career-low off-target rate of 9% and registering a healthy 17.3 fantasy points per effort. Clearly comfortable in Liam Coen's scheme and in lockstep with Parker Washington's extended breakout, Lawrence is showing his 2026 stock is on the rise. He should slay in Week 4 against the Bengals. Offenses have continuously attacked Cincinnati through the air, resulting in the third-most pass attempts faced (118). That strategy has been effective, as quarterbacks are carving up the Bengals for the fifth-most passing yards per game (287). With this game carrying the week's highest projected point total (51.5) and a tight 2.5-point spread, Lawrence figures to deliver top-10 positional fantasy production. Aaron Jones Sr., RB, Minnesota Vikings The number of Jones-related DMs that I received last week! Each one highly suspicious of the 31-year-old's ability to keep the wheels on the wagon. I was a staunch advocate, but the public had its doubts. Despite Jordan Mason's firm placement on I
