The following is a list of inactives for Week 5 (October 7-8) and the fantasy implications of all the major inactives:
Oct. 8, 8:30pm EST
Buffalo Bills
Inactives: QB J.P. Losman, RB Fred Jackson, CB Ashton Youboty, LB Coy Wire, S Jim Leonhard, WR Peerless Price, DE Ryan Denney, DE Bryan Copeland.
Fantasy take: Trent Edwards will start with Losman out of action. Roscoe Parrish and Josh Reed will see more work in the absence of Price.
Dallas Cowboys
Inactives: S Courtney Brown, S Keith Davis, CB Anthony Henry, FB Oliver Hoyte, G Joe Berger, T Doug Free, T James Marten, WR Terry Glenn.
Fantasy take: Patrick Crayton will start with Glenn still out. The absence of Henry is a real positive for the Buffalo wide receivers.
8:15PM EST
Chicago Bears
Inactives: DT Antonio Garay, S Josh Gattis, WR Mike Hass, LB Darrell McClover, QB Kyle Orton (3rd QB), FB Lousaka Polite, OT John Tait, CB Nathan Vasher.
Green Bay Packers
Inactives: G Allen Barbre, LB Desmond Bishop, CB Will Blackmon, DT Colin Cole, RB Brandon Jackson, DE Mike Montgomery, OT Orrin Thompson.
Fantasy take: DeShawn Wynn and Vernand Morency will share carries in the absence of Jackson.
4pm EST
Baltimore Ravens
Inactives: TE Todd Heap, LB Edgar Jones, OT Jonathan Ogden, CB David Pittman, DT Trevor Pryce, CB Samari Rolle, QB Troy Smith (3rd QB), TE Daniel Wilcox.
Denver Broncos
Inactives: DB Hamza Abdullah, TE Stephen Alexander, RB Mike Bell, DT Antwon Burton, DB Steve Cargile, OT Ryan Harris, DE Simeon Rice, WR Javon Walker.
Fantasy take: Travis Henry is active and will start, but look for Selvin Young to see some carries as well. Brandon Stokley will start in the absence of Walker.
Indianapolis Colts
Inactives: RB Joseph Addai, WR Marvin Harrison, LB Freddy Keiaho, DT Dan Klecko, WR Aaron Moorehead, DB T.J. Rushing, DB Bob Sanders, TE Ben Utecht.
Fantasy take: Kenton Keith will start in the absence of Addai. With Harrison, Moorehead and Utecht all out, look for Reggie Wayne, Dallas Clark and Anthony Gonzalez to be the main pass catchers for Peyton Manning. With Keiaho, Klecko and Sanders all out, the Indianapolis defense loses some value this week.
San Diego Chargers
Inactives: TE Scott Chandler, WR Legedu Naanee, OT Roman Oben, CB Paul Oliver, WR Eric Parker, FB Andrew Pinnock, LB Anthony Waters, QB Charlie Whitehurst (3rd QB).
Fantasy take: Craig Davis is active and will start in place of Parker.
