Green Bay Packers
Inactives: G Allen Barbre, DT Justin Harrell, WR Greg Jennings, G Tony Moll, DT Mike Montgomery, RB Vernand Morency, SAF Aaron Rouse.
Fantasy take: Rookie James Jones will start in place of Jennings, but he's no more than a borderline No. 3 or 4 fantasy wideout. DeShawn Wynn will back up Brandon Jackson, who is a solid No. 3 fantasy back.
Houston Texans
Inactives: OT Rashad Butler, WR Andre' Davis, LB Zachary Diles, TE Joel Dreessen, RB Samkon Gado, G Kasey Studdard, C Chris White, DB Dexter Wynn.
Fantasy take: No significant inactives.
Jacksonville Jaguars
Inactives: T Richard Collier, DB Aaron Glenn, LB Clint Ingram, DT Tony McDaniel, C Brad Meester, DE Kenneth Pettway, RB LaBrandon Toefield, WR Reggie Williams.
Fantasy take: Williams is inactive, so Dennis Northcutt, Ernest Wilford and Matt Jones will see most of the wideout work. None of the trio should start outside of larger fantasy leagues.
Kansas City Chiefs
Inactives: TE Michael Allan, LB Johnny Baldwin, CB Rashad Barksdale, RB Boomer Grigsby, LB Nate Harris, DB Jon McGraw, T Herbert Taylor, QB Tyler Thigpen.
Fantasy take: No significant inactives.
Miami Dolphins
Inactives: QB John Beck (3rd QB), RB Lorenzo Booker, DB Courtney Bryan, DT Steve Fifita, CB Andre' Goodman, LB Abraham Wright, DT Rodrique Wright.
Fantasy take: Jesse Chatman will back up Ronnie Brown, but he has no value as a fantasy starter.
Minnesota Vikings
Inactives: DB Mike Doss, WR Robert Ferguson, QB Kelly Holcomb, DE Erasmus James, T Chase Johnson, TE Garrett Mills, DE Jayme Mitchell, RB Mewelde Moore.
New England Patriots
Inactives: DB Rashad Baker, T Wesley Britt, DT Kareem Brown, QB Matt Gutierrez, LB David Herron, TE David Thomas, DT Mike Wright, G Billy Yates.

Philadelphia Eagles
Inactives: DE Victor Abiamiri, CB Nick Graham, G Max Jean-Gilles, T Pat McCoy, DT LaJuan Ramsey, LB Pago Togafau, G Scott Young.
Fantasy take: L.J. Smith is active, but he's not 100 percent and a risk for fantasy owners.
Pittsburgh Steelers
Inactives: DB Ricardo Colclough, LB Marquis Cooper, T Trai Essex, LB Arnold Harrison, WR Willie Reid, RB Gary Russell, CG Darnell Stapleton, QB Brian St. Pierre (3rd QB).
Fantasy take: No significant inactives.
St. Louis Rams
Inactives: DE Victor Adeyanju, WR Drew Bennett, LB Quinton Culberson, WR Marques Hagans, C Richie Incognito, DE Eric Moore, RB Antonio Pittman, G Claude Terrell.
Fantasy take: Bennett is inactive, so look for Randy McMichael to see more red-zone looks. Torry Holt will start.
Tennessee Titans
Inactives: RB Casey Cramer, WR Biren Ealy, WR Justin Gage, C Leroy Harris, RB Chris Henry, CB Reynaldo Hill, DT Jesse Mahelona.
Fantasy take: LenDale White and Chris Brown will handle the backfield duties. Eric Moulds, Brandon Jones and Roydell Williams will be the prominent receivers, but none warrant serious consideration as fantasy starters outside of larger leagues.
Washington Redskins
Inactives: DT Lorenzo Alexander, WR Shaun Bodiford, DT Ryan Boschetti, TE Cody Boyd, QB Mark Brunell (3rd QB), DB David Macklin, RB Marcus Mason, T Todd Wade.
Fantasy take: Wade's absence will be felt on the offensive line, but it doesn't hurt the value of their skill position players. Clinton Portis is active and will start, but Ladell Betts could see more work out of the backfield.
