NFL Inactives today: Who is out for Sunday Week 4?

It's NFL Sunday at long last. After a week of practices, teams are finally ready to either continue their early-season dominance or turn their year around. Here we will take a look at all the inactive players on Sunday.

It's only Week 4, so things can still change dramatically and this week could easily be a catalyst for change. With that in mind, some NFL teams will be missing players today. Some of them are big names that would otherwise play a important role in the outcome.

Who should you start today?

The Miami Dolphins offense, specifically their NFL skill position players, should have a field day again today. Start all pass-catchers you have. The Buffalo Bills secondary is thin with Jordan Poyer out, and even if it were fully healthy, Tyreek Hill, Jaylen Waddle, and company would have a good day in all likelihood.

Start Miami Dolphins players

The Washington Commanders got shredded last week by the Bills' offense. Look for the Philadelphia Eagles to do the same, so start D'Andre Swift, AJ Brown, DeVonta Smith, and Dallas Goedert with confidence.

Tony Pollard should be a look in your lineup. The Dallas Cowboys' offensive line is in better shape than it was last week, and the New England Patriots' defensive line is banged up.
