In order to help you set your lineups and avoid starting a player who doesnt take the field, we will be posting fantasy-relevant updates and analysis here as NFL teams release their Sunday inactive lists prior to kickoff. Any rankings cited in this column come from our ESPN Fantasy staff ranks.Refresh often for the latest information.Ruled out before SundayTE Rob Gronkowski (hamstring), QB Tony Romo (back), RB Kenneth Dixon (knee), TE Tyler Eifert (ankle), RB Jay Ajayi (non-injury), Kendall Wright (hamstring), WR Markus Wheaton (shoulder)Top players were watchingEarly games, 1 p.m. ET (nine scheduled)WR Kevin White (hamstring, questionable): active RB Chris Ivory (calf, questionable): inactive RB Jamaal Charles (knee, doubtful): inactive RB Javorius Allen (healthy scratch): inactive RB C.J.

That leaves Arian Foster, Damien Williams and Kenyan Drake as the healthy options for the Fins at the running back position. Foster is obviously the one to focus on for fantasy.DeVante Parker (12:00 PM): While the official inactives have yet to be released for the afternoon contest between the Dolphins and Seahawks, Joe Schad of the Palm Beach Post is reporting that DeVante Parker will miss out for Miami. This boosts the fantasy value of Kenny Stills as well as providing a higher target share for Jarvis Landry, although the matchup is obviously less than ideal.C.J. Spiller (11:49 AM): Mark Ingram will put the New Orleans running game on his back this week, as C.J. Spiller is a surprise inactive for the Saints. ESPN NFL Nation reporter Mike Triplett says the team was high on Spiller based on his preseason work and comments from coaches, but apparently it wasnt enough to earn a spot on the active roster for Week 1.Javorius Allen (11:30 AM): The Ravens are going with two running backs today, Justin Forsett and Terrance West, as Allen joins Kenneth Dixon on the inactives list. This is a nice boost to the two remaining Baltimore backs, who should see all of the passing work out of the backfield and have more secure carries.Chris Ivory (11:29 AM): Jeff Darlington of ESPN reports that Ivory will be inactive for todays game against the Packers. This boosts T.J. Yeldons value considerably, as hell be the lead back for the Jaguars and retains his role as the top pass-catching option out of the backfield.Kevin White (9:07 AM): The long-awaited regular season debut of Kevin White should happen today, as our Jeff Dickerson reports that the 2015 first-round pick will get the start against the Texans today, barring a setback. The Texans have a solid defense and there are questions as to how well the Bears offense will perform this season, but someone will have to catch passes from Jay Cutler this season and White has tons of potential. Eric Karabell ranked White the highest for Week 1 among our staff rankers, placing him 35th among wideouts. Hes a flex or deeper league option for this week.Jamaal Charles (8:55 AM): After being listed as doubtful, its no surprise to learn that Jamaal Charles will not play today, per ESPNs Adam Schefter. Spencer Ware and Charcandrick West should see most of the running back touches for the Chiefs in a fantastic matchup against San Diego, but its Ware who is most likely to get valuable red-zone work and is a solid play in all fantasy formats.Rob Gronkowski (Friday): Despite being initially listed as questionable, Gronkowski did not make the trip to Arizona and will not play, according to Mike Reiss of ESPN. The Patriots added Martellus Bennett this offseason to complement Gronk, but Bennett will be the star of the show at tight end for New England in their Sunday evening opener.Official Sunday inactives should begin coming in at approximately 11:30 a.m. ET for the early set of games, 2:30 p.m. ET for the later set and 7:00 p.m. ET for the Sunday night contest.Brian Urlacher Youth Jersey .

Get some pucks deep and wait for our opportunities and we did that and capitalized on the chances that we had.Johnson is 4-1 in his past five starts.Troy Brouwer and Micheal Ferland scored for Calgary, which has sought consistency between the pipes during the early part of the season. The Flames, whose maligned special teams came up big in this one, have traded wins and losses for five games.Johnny made some big saves for us and that breeds confidence throughout the lineup, Calgarys Matt Stajan said.Columbus dropped to 10-3-3 in its last 16 and has lost two straight at home since rolling off seven wins in a row, a franchise record.We were on the outside all night long, Columbus coach John Tortorella said. Chad saw every shot. I thought our first period was good but from then it went downhill.Calgary, ranked 29th in penalty killing entering the game, was perfect during a long Columbus power play in the second period, and then its league-worst power play added a goal in the third.Calgary led 1-0 despite being significantly outshot before Ferland snapped one past Sergei Bobrovsky from the slot at 6:25 of the third. Leading to the score, Dennis Wideman kept the puck in the zone on a play that Markus Hannikainen tried to skate out of danger.Johnson did the rest, calmly turning aside shot after shot.There were times when we were on our heels but I think we still stuck together and battled as a group, he said.After a scoreless first period, the action picked up in the second.dddddddddddd Matthew Tkachuks double minor for high-sticking 14 seconds in put the Blue Jackets on the man advantage, but the leagues top power play only mustered one shot. The Flames allowed three power-play scores Monday in a loss at Buffalo.Sloppy, it hurt us momentum wise, Tortorella said. Four minutes we really had nothing accomplished. I think they end up with a couple of scoring chances.Calgary took the lead shortly after aided by a bad sequence for Seth Jones. He was flat footed in his own zone when his pass was easily intercepted by Brouwer at the blue line. Kris Versteeg got the puck and marched around Jones, threading a pass back to Brouwer for the doorstep tap-in to make it 1-0 at 6:35.I just tried to make a play and get it over to Brouwer going to the net, Versteeg said.Five minutes later, Cam Atkinson zoomed in on a breakaway, but Johnson gloved his shot.We were able to turn a corner after he (Johnson) stopped that breakaway in the second and we know it wasnt pretty before that, Stajan said. But then we started to get pucks deep and shots on net. We played a solid third period. Its a good road win.Game notesBrouwers goal was his first in 10 games. ... Jones played his second game since missing six with a foot injury. ...
