2017 NFL Week 14 Weather Conditions
Stop me if you’ve heard this one: two teams play football in December in Buffalo…
Precipitation and winds shouldn’t be a factor in most of the games this week, but monitor the weather in Cleveland and especially Buffalo. Outside of those games, may the best fantasy teams win in this week of fantasy playoffs.
Editor’s Note: Mike will be on Periscope one hour before kickoff, answering Week 14 questions!

Fantasy Impact: Normally a QB facing the league’s worst pass defense would be a no-brainer, but the last time Tyrod Taylor threw for 300+ yards against a non-divisional opponent was the Sunday before never. This is assuming he even starts as a game time decision with a knee issue. The winds certainly won’t help whichever QB the Bills roll out this week making any Buffalo WR and Charles Clay a dart throw fantasy option. LeSean McCoy will continue to be the centerpiece of an offense facing one of the leagues worst defenses making him a solid RB1 option.
Frank Gore gets to face a Bills defense that has been putrid against the run since trading away Marcell Dareus, but he has yet to exceed 100 yards rushing and score a TD in any game as a Colt. Jacoby Brissett has had a couple good fantasy games this year and he’s used to cold weather games from his time in New England, but the road game in blustery conditions stacks the deck against him. T.Y. Hilton is still worth a flex spot even with Brissett’s inconsistently, but temper expectations.
Hopefully, these two teams make this game entertaining, but let’s face it; Buffalo and Indianapolis each have only one victory in their last 5 games due to shoddy offensive and defensive play.
