Fantasy Impact: It might be breezy, but this game wasn’t setting up to be a fantasy bonanza anyways. Trey Burton and Tarik Cohen are the only two players that can be trusted in this game and neither should be affected by the winds.

PAUL BROWN STADIUM
CINCINNATI, OHIO

Precipitation: Light Rain
Wind: 15 mph
Wind Gusts: 35 mph
Fantasy Impact: Just like the Chicago game, this game has some borderline winds. The problem is there are a number of fantasy relevant players in this one.
Tampa Bay has one of the worst rushing offenses in the league. They are going to need to throw the ball. This might be a small knock on Jameis Winston and his receiving options, but not nearly large enough to move them up or down the ranks very much.
The same is true for Cincinnati. Despite a three-game stretch that included PIT and KC, Andy Dalton failed to throw for more than 250 yards in any of those games. He needs to get it going against a defense that has largely stuffed rushing attacks, but has gotten shredded through the air. You need to be aware of the winds, but Vegas still expects this game to be one of the higher scoring games this week so proceed like you normally would with players on CIN and TB.
