NFL Week 1 Weather Conditions (Fantasy Football)
It’s been a long wait through uncertain times, but the season is here and with it, the weather. Week 1’s weather looks pretty good, but we’re going to have to keep an eye on a couple of games to see how the forecast develops through the weekend.
We’re releasing the weather article a little earlier in the week for the 2020 season, but each week’s article will be updated the closer we get to kickoff. I’ll also post any updates here on Sunday morning with a final update around 12:30PM ET.
Catch ‘SUNDAY LIVE’ at Noon ET — Mike “The Fantasy Hitman” Wright will be answering start/sit questions, and covering injury updates for Week 1.

I would mention that the NFL is monitoring the Air Quality in San Francisco and had discussed moving or postponing that game if it gets any worse. Make sure you check the weather early!
what about San Fran and LA air condition?
