To help you set your lineups and avoid starting a player who wont take the field, we will post fantasy-relevant updates and analysis here as NFL teams release their Sunday inactive lists before kickoff. Any rankings cited in this column come from our ESPN Fantasy staff ranks.Refresh often for the latest information.Ruled out before SundayRB Darren Sproles (concussion), WR Marquess Wilson (groin), WR Allen Hurns (hamstring), TE C.J.

Jordan Norwood, whose three fumbles on punts this season were a large reason why Raymond was activated in the first place, will likely get a chance at special teams redemption.San Francisco 49ers (2:40 p.m.): Colin Kaepernick is still the No. 1 quarterback for the 49ers, but the identity of his backup has changed. For the first time this season, Christian Ponder will be active for the team, with Blaine Gabbert sitting Week 15 out.?DeAngelo Williams (11:58 a.m.): There had been a lot of talk about Williams returning from his knee injury this week, but he will miss his sixth straight game, despite not having been listed on the Pittsburgh injury report headed into the weekend. LeVeon Bell owners who might have had some butterflies about some of his workload getting stolen by Williams need not fear.Indianapolis Colts (11:55 a.m.): With both Denzelle Good (concussion) and Joe Reitz (back) being inactive for todays game, the Colts will have to start three rookies on the offensive line: Joe Haeg, Ryan Kelly and LeRaven Clark. As a result, Andrew Luck may not have as much time to throw the ball downfield as usual.?Adrian Peterson (11:50 a.m.): As previously reported by ESPNs Adam Schefter, the Vikings running back has been activated for todays game, and will start for the Minnesota Vikings. Matt Asiata, who had been questionable to play with an ankle injury, is also active, and should split time in the backfield with both Peterson and Jerick McKinnon.Chicago Bears (11:45 a.m.): NT Eddie Goldman (ankle) reinjured an ankle that had previously caused him to miss six weeks of action this season, and will not play in Week 15. The defense will also be without CB Bryce Callahan (knee).Theo Riddick (11:40 a.m.): A wrist injury will indeed keep the Detroit running back out of action today. Dwayne Washington is likely to get (pardon the pun) the lions share of carries in the backfield, though Zach Zenner (concussion) is active.A.J. Green (7:45 a.m.): Officially, we probably wont get word that Green will miss todays game until the inactives list is released. That said, all signs point to the Bengals waiting until Week 16 to get their star wide receiver back on the field. Upgrade Tyler Boyd in your fantasy rankings.?Aaron Rodgers (7:35 a.m.): Call it just in case, but it shouldnt be ignored that the Packers promoted QB Joe Callahan from their practice squad on Saturday. That gives them a backup to Brett Hundley, should Rodgers calf force him to miss any or all of Sundays game. It doesnt mean Rodgers wont start, but it certainly indicates Green Bays fear he might not be able to finish the game.Ty Montgomery (7:30 a.m.): With?James Starks?sidelined because of a concussion, NFL Networks Ian Rapoport reports that Montgomery will start at running back for the Packers. Christine Michael is also expected to get some backfield work.Michael Floyd (7:25 a.m.): According to ESPNs Adam Schefter, the wide receiver will not be active today as the Patriots take on the Broncos. Floyd signed with New England on Thursday after being released by Arizona because of a DUI arrest last week. He was, however, expected to travel with the team to Colorado.Oakland Raiders (7:20 a.m.): While theres still a questionable tag on both starting wide receivers, Amari Cooper and Michael Crabtree are both expected to play on Sunday, despite being listed as limited throughout the week of practice. That could be very good news for QB Derek Carrs chances for a solid fantasy outing.Official Sunday inactives should begin coming in at approximately 11:30 a.m. ET for the early games, 2:30 p.m. ET for the late games and 7 p.m. ET for the Sunday night game.

RIO DE JANEIRO -- Serena. Simone. Solo.It shouldnt come as a surprise that some of the best-recognized names on the U.S. Olympic team belong to women. The Americans brought 292 women to Rio de Janeiro, an Olympic record for a single country. Their first gold medal of the games -- won Saturday by a woman, of course: Ginny Thrasher in shooting. Reporters from The Associated Press predicted the United States would capture 128 medals -- 69 by women and 59 by men.Among those winners could be:-Serena Williams, who already has four gold medals and could win two more -- one in singles and another in doubles, along with her sister, Venus.-Simone Biles, who has a legitimate chance to pull in a record five gold medals from gymnastics.-Hope Solo, the goalkeeper for the soccer team, which is trying for its fourth straight Olympic gold medal.-Katie Ledecky, a medal contender in five swimming events.This is the second straight Summer Games in which women have outnumbered men on Team USA. But when the number reached 292 for this Olympics, the Americans had a record. It was three more than China entered into the Beijing Games eight years ago.Its a surge that has peaked this decade, now 44 years since the passage of Title IX, the law that opened doors for women in college sports around the country. Many competing in the Olympics are either in, or about to become part of, the third generation of women to compete at the college level since the law was passed.We got a great head start in the U.S. because of the support they had in their schools and their colleges growing up, said Scott Blackmun, CEO of the U.S. Olympic Committee. You look at 10, 15 years after the passage of Title IX, how great an impact that started having. You combine it with the collegiate structure we have and that helps define the success.No womens sport has become more high profile than basketball since Title IX. The U.S. has won six of seven gold medals since 1984 -- about the time the true impact of the law started being felt. Another win this year would strike a poignant note in the wake of the recent passing of Pat Summitt, the longtimee Tennessee coach who pioneered the surge in womens hoops over decades.dddddddddddd.I look at the younger generation of womens basketball players and there is such a tremendous boat load of talent from, say, 10 years ago, said Geno Auriemma of UConn, who is coaching the U.S. team.He said Title IX led to the full funding of college sports across the board, which has led to the U.S. catching up in a few sports, like volleyball, and dominating in others.Weve talked about water polo, and how much weve had players before us pioneer our sport, said Maggie Steffens of the defending-champion U.S. team. Womens water polo wasnt even in the Olympics until 2000. And we had women who, in 76 and the `80s and `90s, dreamed of being in the Olympics and never got that opportunity, but made sure it happened for us. We want to make sure we do the best we can to represent those women.Womens soccer has enjoyed far more success than the mens game in the United States. The men didnt qualify for the Olympics. The women are favored to win gold for the fifth time since they were brought onto the Olympic program in 1996. On Saturday, Solo became the first goalkeeper to appear in 200 games in international play.Medal-contending women fill the U.S. roster -- young and old and in sports ranging from archery to weightlifting.At 16, hurdler Sydney McLaughlin will be the youngest to compete for the U.S. Olympic track team since 1972.At 30, Natasha Hastings is making her second Olympic appearance and could factor into the 400-meter mix, as well as the relay team. Though plenty of amazing women have run for the U.S. over the years, when Hastings looks for inspiration, she has plenty of choices. Hers happens to be a tennis player.Serena Williams is my sports female hero, Hastings said. Ive watched her and her sister play tennis since they were 12 or 13 and just change the game. What theyve done for womens sports, to me, is just amazing.---AP Basketball Writer Doug Feinberg contributed to this report. ' ' '
