NFL Week 1 Weather Conditions (Fantasy Football)
The weather is pretty good across the board, but the three Florida games and Carolina will be played well into the 90s. I don’t think there will be any drastic changes in the weather, but I’m keeping my eye on the winds for the Denver at Oakland game on Monday night so I will be posting updates if necessary leading up to the afternoon games and throughout the day here.

Kansas City Chiefs at Jacksonville Jaguars
1:00 PM ET
TIAA BANK FIELD
JACKSONVILLE, FLORIDA
Temp: 96°
Precipitation: None
Wind: 7 mph
Wind Gusts: 9 mph
Fantasy Impact: There’s hot, there’s Florida hot, and then there’s this. With humidity, temperatures will feel like they’re well into the 100s. I wouldn’t be surprised to see some issues with cramping, but it’s impossible to predict who it’ll impact and how much. Leonard Fournette was expected to get a ton of work in this game, but he’s going to need to get breaks to keep fresh. Slight bump down for his outlook, but he’s still a solid start in all redraft formats.
Tennessee Titans at Cleveland Browns

BANK OF AMERICA STADIUM
CHARLOTTE, NORTH CAROLINA
Temp: 93°
Precipitation: None
Wind: 2 mph
Wind Gusts: 3 mph
Fantasy Impact: Similar to Fournette in Jacksonville, Carolina may throttle Christian McCaffrey back just a bit. We already knew Carolina wanted to reduce his insane 91.3% snap share from last year so this shouldn’t be a shock. He’s still a stud so play him as you would have.
Indianapolis Colts at Los Angeles Chargers

DIGNITY HEALTH SPORTS PARK
CARSON, CALIFORNIA

CENTURYLINK STADIUM
SEATTLE, WASHINGTON
Temp: 68°
Precipitation: Light Drizzle Possible
Wind: 5 mph
Wind Gusts: 9 mph
Fantasy Impact: Light drizzle possible is pretty much cliche in Seattle, but we might some towards halftime and through the end of the game. It will be light if it shows up at all. No fantasy impact.

OAKLAND, CALIFORNIA

Precipitation: None
Wind: 10 mph
Wind Gusts: 16 mph
Fantasy Impact: None, but forecasts are showing fairly high winds in the area a few hours before the game. Keep an eye on those winds leading up to the game, not that you’ll be able to do much with the roster for a late-Monday night game anyways.
