NFL Week 9 Weather Conditions (Fantasy Football)
Week 8 was one for the record books—unfortunately, not in a good way. Several matchups were derailed by elements last weekend, none more so than the Falcons and the Buccaneers, where Baker Mayfield logged zero completed passes in brutal conditions. The good news? Week 8 is in the rearview mirror, and the weather can’t hurt our lineups anymore this season… right?
What does the week ahead have in store for us? Find out below!
It’s football time, baby!
Sunday Early Afternoon Games
Denver Broncos @ Carolina Panthers
LOW impact. It is looking like a beautiful day in Charlotte. Sunny skies, winds in the single digits, and temperatures in the mid-60s. No issues here. In fact, let’s start the week off right and give this game the “GOOD WEATHER GAME OF THE WEEK” award.
New York Jets @ Kansas City Chiefs
LOW impact. Ideal conditions will hold at Arrowhead throughout the game: mostly clear skies, temps in the low 60s, and calm winds. Fire up your usual starters with total confidence.
Detroit Lions @ Miami Dolphins
LOW impact. There will be some isolated rain showers around the area, but they are looking pretty light. Aside from that, all other conditions look great with calm winds and partly cloudy skies. Temperatures will be in the low 80s. No real issues here.
New York Giants @ Philadelphia Eagles
MEDIUM impact. Watch the winds in this game. Seeing sustained speeds in the low teens with gusts to the low 20s. Those wind speeds aren’t the end of the world or anything, but they could limit some of the Kickers’ range. Those speeds will not stop the Joe Milton moonballs, though.
Los Angeles Rams @ Washington Commanders
LOW impact. It is shaping up to be a nice afternoon in D.C. Clear skies, calm winds, and temperatures hovering in the mid-60s. Start all your studs.
Sunday Late Afternoon Games
Arizona Cardinals @ Seattle Seahawks
MEDIUM impact. A brisk, blustery afternoon is on deck in Seattle. Sustained winds will sit in the mid-teens, with gusts touching the upper 20s. The saving grace is that rain isn’t in the forecast to cause additional issues. Expect some disruption to deep passing concepts and long field-goal attempts, but it is nowhere near severe enough to bench your WR1s.
Las Vegas Raiders @ San Francisco 49ers
LOW impact. No issues for this game. Partly cloudy skies, light winds, and temperatures in the low 70s. Roll out your regular starters.
Green Bay Packers @ New England Patriots
MEDIUM impact. Another game featuring stronger winds, though slightly less hostile than Seattle. Look for sustained speeds in the low teens with occasional gusts around 20 mph. Deep-ball trajectories and kicking distance might take a slight hit, but standard starters stay locked in. Expect kickoff temps in the low 60s.
Sunday Night Game
Tampa Bay Buccaneers @ Chicago Bears
LOW impact. We wrap up the slate at Soldier Field with surprisingly benign November weather. Winds will hover in the high single digits under clear skies, with temperatures dropping into the upper 40s. Bundle up, but trust your fantasy options.
Best of luck to your team in the week ahead!
