NFL Week 9 Weather Conditions (Fantasy Football)
Week 8 came and went without much of the way in weather impact, a much-appreciated break from Week 7. We continue the march towards the end of October (Happy Halloween!) with another slate of games that we will be diligently watching for any weather impacts. What awaits us in the weekend ahead? Well, my friends, read below for the future!
Buckle up, it’s Week 9 time, baby!
Sunday Early Afternoon Games
Chicago Bears @ Cincinnati Bengals
LOW impact. I’m expecting some fine conditions for the game. There will be partly sunny skies, high temperatures in the mid-50s, and light winds. No issues, start all your studs.
Carolina Panthers @ Green Bay Packers
LOW impact. Mostly sunny skies will persist throughout the game with temperatures chilling in the low-50s. Winds will be a little stronger, with sustained speeds in the low-teens and occasional gusts that could hit the low-20s. Not high enough winds to consider benching anyone in the passing game. Kickers will be more impacted, so if you have a comparable replacement for either Brandon McManus or Ryan Fitzgerald, it would be beneficial to switch ’em out.
Los Angeles Chargers @ Tennessee Titans
LOW impact. There will be some rain in the area that will be wrapping up just before kickoff. So the field may be a little mushy, but I don’t think it will be anything significant. Once the rain clears, partly sunny skies will be overhead with winds in the single digits. Expect the temperatures to be in the high-50s. No real impacts here, just keep an eye on the pre-game rain.
San Francisco 49ers @ New York Giants
LOW impact. Overall, nice conditions for this game. Mostly sunny skies, calm winds, and temperatures hitting the upper-50s. Start all your usual suspects.
Indianapolis Colts @ Pittsburgh Steelers
LOW impact. There is a small chance of rain in the afternoon, sitting around 20% currently. However, even if it does rain, those showers will be pretty light and out of the area quickly. Winds will be in the single digits, and temperatures will be in the mid-50s. No issues here.
Sunday Late Afternoon Games
Kansas City Chiefs @ Buffalo Bills
LOW impact. There are always a few games each week that I would be upset if the weather caused issues. This is one of those games, and luckily the weather will be a non-factor. Mostly sunny skies, light winds, and temperatures in the low-50s. I am so thankful for the nice weather that this game wins the coveted “GOOD WEATHER GAME OF THE WEEK” award.
Sunday Night Game
Seattle Seahawks @ Washington Commanders
LOW impact. There is a small chance of rain heading towards the end of the game, right now sitting at a 20% chance. The good news is that the rain looks pretty light, so the game shouldn’t be impacted at all. Aside from that, mostly cloudy skies, calm winds, and a chilly temp in the low-40s await both teams.
Best of luck to your team in the week ahead!
