2017 NFL Week 3 Weather Conditions
I thought the weather last week was going to be the best of the year, but I was wrong. Nine out of eleven games played outdoors will have clear conditions, very little wind, and temperatures between 77 and 87 degrees. Tennessee will be a little hot and while people may get a tan during the Baltimore-Jacksonville game, it won’t be from the English rain with 70-degree weather and clear skies.
Sunday, September 24, 2017:
Baltimore Ravens “at” Jacksonville Jaguars
9:30 AM ET
WEMBLEY STADIUM
WEMBLEY(LONDON), ENGLAND
Temp: 70°
Precipitation: None
Wind: 10 mph
Wind Gusts: 14 mph
Fantasy Impact: Weather won’t be an issue here, but make sure you get your lineups set early since this one starts Sunday morning.
Denver Broncos at Buffalo Bills
1:00 PM ET
NEW ERA FIELD
ORCHARD PARK, NEW YORK
Temp: 80°
Precipitation: None
Wind: 2 mph
Wind Gusts: 3 mph
Fantasy Impact: The weather might be a little too good in this one. Temperatures are going to reach the mid- to upper-80s with 61% humidity and virtually no wind. The result is a heat index that will make it “feel” closer to 90+° weather. Similar heat indexes will be present throughout the league this week, but only a handful of teams employ bellcow RBs like Buffalo and Denver where LeSean McCoy and C.J. Anderson have both averaged over 22 touches per game this season.
You’re not sitting either of them in redraft leagues since opportunity is king in fantasy and both will have ample opportunity, but both teams could give other RBs a little more work than usual because of the heat. If you’re ridiculously desperate at RB, Jamaal Charles may be a hero start. I’d be very wary before plugging any of these RBs into a daily fantasy lineup between the heat and the match-up.
