Here is my secret. Weather doesn't really matter when setting you lineups, except for WIND. Wind has a huge effect on the passing attacks, kicking and general effectiveness of an offense. Snow can be an issue, but only if it is blizzard conditions. Rain is generally OK, unless there is lightening, then games get delayed.
This week? Not much to report. Some moderate wind in Jacksonville, Buffalo, North Carolina, Cincinnati, Kansas City, DC, and Seattle...but, nothing to be overly concerned about any of those games. Frozen tundra in Green Bay, but again, nothing to be concerned over. If you are going for the championship in your league, don't concern yourself with the weather conditions. Play your best options and hope for a victory. Fantasy football is a crapshoot at best, and if you have luck, then enjoy it.
As ever, good luck and Godspeed in your fantasy efforts. Make sure to read all of our great articles to help you win your fantasy match ups every week and ultimately bask in championship glory.
