No early edition this week, as that abomination of a game on Thursday night was played under a dome.  We have another 13 games to worry about, and those forecasts are posted below, together with the designation of the two additional games being played indoors.

So, anything to concern us fantasy players as we strive to make it into the playoffs?  It'll be wet and windy in Buffalo, which concerns me concerning the passing games of the Jaguars and Bills.  If Gabbert were still the Jags QB, I'd be less inclined to take any action, but Henne is much more of a passing threat and the weather could affect his ability to hit his receivers.  Fitzgerald, on the other side of the field, should be prepared for these type of conditions, but it's not like he's been a top 10 QB at any point this season.  Bottom line:  expect both teams to run the ball, and employ a shorter passing game.

The Pats and Dolphins game, as well as the battle in East Rutherford where the Jets are hosting the Cardinals will also be wet.  The wind will be a slight factor in Miami, but I don't see anything to worry about in either game, at least nothing of such import to make me change my rosters.  The only other breezy games will be in Nashville and Dallas, but as a general rule, unless there are winds in excess of 25 MPH, I usually don't figure the wind into my roster decisions.  Rain or snow are more of a factor, affecting the playing surface, and while it may rain on the West Coast for the Oakland and San Diego games, that's not a certainty at this point, and as both games are late match ups, there isn't all that much you can do in terms of roster management.  If you ask me, I would start any of my Bengal, Charger, Brown or Raider players without taking the chance of rain into account.

Once again, a mostly fine day for football, especially in the early part of December.  Sometime soon, we will see some weather that makes us take notice, but I won't complain if winter holds off for another 4 weeks or so.
