NFL Week 16 Weather Conditions (Fantasy Football)
It looks like we managed to avoid any serious weather issues across three consecutive days of NFL football in December somehow. Forecasts can change quickly so I will be taking another hard look at the Sunday slate Saturday night, but nothing seemed to be very worrisome. Good luck bringing home those #FootClanTitles!
I’ll post any updates here periodically with a final update around 12:30PM ET on Sunday.
**Miami Forecast updated**

Saturday, December 21st, 2019:
Houston Texans at Tampa Bay Buccaneers

RAYMOND JAMES STADIUM
TAMPA, FLORIDA
Temp: 72°
Precipitation: Isolated Showers in Area
Wind: 16 mph
Wind Gusts: 23 mph
Fantasy Impact: People are worried about wind/rain – don’t be. It will be breezy, but not bad enough to impact the game from a fantasy perspective. People should be far more worried that TB is rolling out Jameis Winston targeting Breshad Perriman and Justin Watson, after a week of throwing tennis balls in practice.

Cincinnati Bengals at Miami Dolphins(**Updated)
1:00 PM ET
HARD ROCK STADIUM
MIAMI GARDENS, FLORIDA
Temp: 75°
Precipitation: Drizzle Possible
Wind: 20 mph
Wind Gusts: 25 mph
Fantasy Impact: There will be isolated showers in the area especially during the second half, but it’s not looking like rain is unlikely. The bigger problem is the winds that have kicked up. We’re looking at 20 mph sustained winds in with gusts around 25 mph. 20 mph sustained winds are just on the edge of worrisome territory for winds, but remember we weren’t exactly looking for an epic showdown between two highly projected QBs.
Andy Dalton and Ryan Fitzpatrick were desperation streamers at best this week solely because of the poor defenses featured in this game. Borderline winds don’t fundamentally change why they were playable this week or the outlook for the fantasy relevant players playing in this game. Tyler Boyd and DeVante Parker are still going to rack up targets, Cincinnati is still going to pound the ball with Joe Mixon, John Ross is still just a DFS tourney Hail-Mary but can break the slate with three or four receptions, and Miami still doesn’t have a distinguishable backfield.
Randy Bullock and Jason Sanders should not be rostered.
