The following is a list of inactive players for Week 11 (November 18-19) and the fantasy implications of all the major absences:
Nov. 19, 8:30pm EST
Denver Broncos:
Inactives: QB Darrell Hackney (3rd QB), RB Travis Henry, RB Paul Smith, DB Jeff Shoate, DT Isaac Snell, DE Larry Birdine, WR Javon Walker, DE Paul Carrington.
Fantasy take: Selvin Young will start in the absence of Henry. He's a solid fantasy option with Albert Haynesworth out of action for Tennessee. Brandon Stokley will continue to start in the absence of Walker, who could return in Week 12.
Tennessee Titans
Inactives: WR Paul Williams, CB Nick Harper, FB Ahmard Hall, RB Casey Cramer, G Benji Olson, DE Sean Conover, DT Albert Haynesworth.
Fantasy take: Chris Brown is active, so Chris Henry will see fewer carries behind LenDale White. The Titans defensive line is not the same without Haynesworth, who is out for the second consecutive week. The absence of Harper makes Brandon Marshall more valuable for fantasy owners.
8:15pm EST
Buffalo Bills
Inactives: DE Copeland Bryan, OL Christian Gaddis, QB Gibran Hamden (3rd QB), DT Jason Jefferson, LB Leon Joe, RB Marshawn Lynch, TE Tim Massaquoi, FB Ryan Neufeld.

New England Patriots
Inactives: LB Eric Alexander, T Wesley Britt, DT Kareem Brown, QB Matt Gutierrez (3rd QB), DB Mel Mitchell, G Steve Neal, DT Le Kevin Smith, FS Eugene Wilson.
Fantasy take:Wes Welker was removed from the injury report and is active.

Seattle Seahawks
Inactives: QB Charlie Frye (3rd QB), RB Shaun Alexander, DB C.J. Wallace, LB Will Herring, G Mansfield Wrotto, T Ray Willis, WR Courtney Taylor, DE Baraka Atkins.

Baltimore Ravens
Inactives: QB Steve McNair (3rd QB), CB Samari Rolle, DB Gerome Sapp, T Jared Gaither, TE Daniel Wilcox, TE Todd Heap, WR Demetrius Williams, LB Edgar Jones.

Carolina Panthers
Inactives: QB Matt Moore (3rd QB), CB C.J. Wilson, G Evan Mathis, T Frank Omiyale, WR Steve Smith, DT Damione Lewis, DE Charles Johnson, LB Donte Curry.

Fantasy take: Jason Wright will see more work behind Jamal Lewis with Harrison out.

Kansas City Chiefs
Inactives: RB Larry Johnson, CB Rashad Barksdale, T Herbert Taylor, T Will Svitek, WR Eddie Drummond, LB Kendrell Bell.
Fantasy take: Priest Holmes will start in the absence of Johnson, who is out a few more weeks. The Chiefs have some injuries on defense, so avoid this unit against Peyton Manning and Indianapolis.

Minnesota Vikings
Inactives: QB Kelly Holcomb (3rd QB), DB Ronyell Whitaker, RB Adrian Peterson, DB Eric Frampton, TE Garrett Mills, T Chase Johnson, WR Aundrae Allison, DE Jayme Mitchell.

New Orleans Saints
Inactives: WR Robert Meachem, DB Jay Bellamy, CB Usama Young, LB Matt McCoy, G Andy Alleman, DT Brian Young, T Jammal Brown, DE Charles Grant.
Fantasy take: The absence of Young will hurt the effectiveness of the Saints' offensive line. The team has some injuries on defense, but the Saints crew has little value in fantasy football.
New York Giants
Inactives: QB Jared Lorenzen (3rd QB), CB Craig Dahl, WR Steve Smith, RB Derrick Ward, T Adam Koets, DE Dave Tollefson, DT Manuel Wright, G Kevin Boothe.
Fantasy take:Plaxico Burress is active and will start in Detroit.

Inactives: QB JaMarcus Russell (3rd QB), QB Josh McCown, RB LaMont Jordan, CB John Bowie, LB Isaiah Ekejiuba, C Jake Grove, T Mario Henderson, DT Josh Shaw.
Fantasy take: Daunte Culpepper will start with McCown out of action. Andrew Walter is second on the depth chart. Justin Fargas will continue to start at running back, but Dominic Rhodes will see more work with Jordan out.
Philadelphia Eagles
Inactives: QB Kevin Kolb (3rd QB), RB Tony Hunt, DB Marcus Paschal, G Max Jean-Gilles, DT Kimo von Oelhoffen, G Scott Young, DE Jevon Kearse, DE Montae Reagor.

San Diego Chargers
Inactives: QB Charlie Whitehurst (3rd QB), CB Paul Oliver, SAF Eric Weddle, LB Anthony Waters, C Nick Hardwick, WR Malcolm Floyd, TE Scott Chandler, DE Luis Castillo.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Inactives: QB Luke McCown (3rd QB), RB Michael Bennett, DB Keiwan Ratliff, LB Jeremiah Trotter, G Dan Buenning, TE Keith Heinrich, DE Greg Spires, DT Greg Peterson.
