Week 12 came in and out with no weather issues, which is always welcome as we move towards this incredibly important time of the Fantasy Football season. Now, are we going to be lucky enough to get another week of good conditions? Well, dear reader, you have come to the right place to figure that out!
Buckle up, it’s Week 13 time, baby!
Sunday Early Afternoon Games
San Francisco 49ers @ Cleveland Browns
HIGH impact. Welcome to late November in Cleveland! There will be snow throughout much of the game, with a total accumulation of just about 1/2 an inch. Additionally, there will be some stronger winds with sustained speeds in the lower-20s with gusts hitting the mid-30s. With those winds, combined with the snow, you have to downgrade QBs, WRs, TEs, and Kickers. Much of the focus will likely be on the running game and shorter passes. Game-time temperatures will be in the low-30s.
Jacksonville Jaguars @ Tennessee Titans
LOW impact. There will be some light rain showers just before kick-off, but I’m expecting those to clear out before the 1st quarter. After those showers clear, it will be mostly sunny with winds in the high single digits. No weather issues here.
New Orleans Saints @ Miami Dolphins
LOW impact. Mostly sunny skies throughout the game, with no rain, and temperatures in the low-80s. Winds will be slightly increased, with sustained speeds in the high single digits and gusts into the low-20s, but the gusts will be fairly infrequent, so don’t make any lineup changes based on that.
Atlanta Falcons @ New York Jets
MEDIUM impact. Rainy and slightly windy conditions will persist throughout the game. The rain doesn’t look to be too heavy, but persistent. Winds will be in the low-teens, with gusts into the low-20s. There will likely be more of a focus on the ground game with the persistent/annoying rain, so downgrade any pass catchers and upgrade your RBs. Game-time temperatures will be in the upper-40s.
Arizona Cardinals @ Tampa Bay Buccaneers
LOW impact. Clear skies, light winds, and temperatures in the low-80s. Absolutely no weather issues here, and congratulations to Tampa on winning the “GOOD WEATHER GAME OF THE WEEK!” award.
Los Angeles Rams @ Carolina Panthers
LOW impact. There will be light rain showers in and around the area, mainly during the 1st quarter, but they shouldn’t cause much impact. The majority of the game will be rain-free, with light winds, and temperatures in the low-50s. Start all your usual players here.
Sunday Late Afternoon Games
Minnesota Vikings @ Seattle Seahawks
LOW impact. It’s going to be a beautiful day up in the Pacific Northwest. Mostly sunny skies, no rain, temperatures in the mid-40s. No weather issues here, start all your studs.
Buffalo Bills @ Pittsburgh Steelers
HIGH impact. Expect snow and windy conditions throughout much of the game. Snow accumulation won’t be much (sitting around half an inch expected). However, combined with the expected sustained wind speeds in the upper-teens with gusts to the low-30s, will cause issues for all aspects of the passing game and kicking game. Downgrade your expectations for the WRs.
Sunday Night Game
Denver Broncos @ Washington Commanders
LOW impact. Wrapping up Sunday will be a nice game in D.C. Expect mostly clear skies, no rain, light winds, and temperatures in the low-30s. No significant weather issues here.
Monday Night Game
New York Giants @ New England Patriots
LOW impact. It’ll be a very nice, but very cold game on Monday night. No rain, minimal winds, but temperatures will be in the upper-20s. Start all your studs, just be aware of those temps.
Best of luck to your team in the week ahead!
