Week 11 Weather

[Franknbeans 1,924]

I hear there may be some windy conditions afoot. Please share if you know of any games that may be affected.

[SaintsInDome2006 47,462]

Looks like high winds in NYG (talking 15-20 mph, not sure that's that bad...), cold in GB and CHI, maybe some flurries in CLE, might be wet in Seattle.

So pretty much every November/December weekend in these areas. Noted.

[Corn Rocket 20]

Denver is going to be real nice tomorrow.  Mid 60's light wind, sunny.  No issues.

Mountains got hammered with snow.  Denver did not.

15-25 sustained winds with gusts to 45 is currently forecast for East Rutherford for the Giants/Chiefs game.

Not loving this. I'm currently starting T. Hill, S. Sheppard, and E. Engram.

Could see a lot of short passes from both A. Smith/Eli to Sheppard/Hill out of the slot.

Maybe Eli is a better "bad weather QB" vs. good weather QB? Lol.

[kyoun1e 751]

Just watched a local video forecast for the NJ / NYC region. As of 12 pm EST.

Weather man indicates wind gusts of 40-50 mph Sunday. "Howling" winds and potential for power outages.

I'm getting my D. Parker ready just in case it's this bad and need to bench either Sheppard or Hill. Could see this as a run Hunt/Darkwa game.

[steelerfan1 325]

Would say this will wreak havock on Butker too.

[The General 23,582]

I always outsmart myself when it comes to this stuff but this wind is bad news. Will be watching this tomorrow morn.

Can put in Carr in over Alex Smith.

Great. I have Eli as a bye week fill in for Cam. Wondering if Fitzpatrick or Cutler is the way to go.

>>Jacksonville at Cleveland (1:00 PM ET): Weather will likely make a big impact in this game with 20+ MPH winds and 25+ MPH gusts expected. In addition to the strong winds, 32 degree temperatures with potential flurries are forecasted. This game already had the lowest Vegas total of the week, something that may lower even closer to game time due to the forecasted inclement weather. I would avoid almost all fantasy options in this game.<<

[Da Man 9]

Is there anyone in the east Rutherford area that can provide an update?

That Rotoworld write up is from SAT

NFLweather.com has the latest FC as 38* overcast and 19 mph winds with 20% chance of any precipitation (and this FC Is for all 4 quarters)

It doesn’t state wind gusts and that could be a big factor IF they are present but it seems to show a slight improvement from yesterday

Thanks I appreciate that update.

I'm about 45 minutes south and it's howling

[Da Man 9]

Thanks Penguin!!

[davidwb 38]

winds 10-15 mph in Columbus right now -- about 2 hours SSW of Cleveland. The cold front came through last night, so the winds are unlikely to get worse as the front moves east.

From NYG local reporter on the field about 45 minutes ago:

Jordan RaananESPN Staff Writer 

Brisk fall day. Weather.com says 17 mph winds. Nothing too outrageous right now that should greatly affect the game.

Looks like games that will be impacted some are Jax/Cle and KC/ NYG.

But is it roaring?  Screaming?

[shadyridr 14,319]

It is very windy here in Staten island 

[The General 23,582]

Away from the TV this morn. If anyone sees on field report from East Rutheford can you tell us if it looks crazy? TIA

[Yotes1 42]

2 hours before kickoff, Roth from RotoGrinders is reporting 32 MPH sustained winds with 46 MPH gust just 5 miles from Met Life.  

[The General 23,582]

Ugh. I’m going to sit Alex Smith and he’s going to have like 350 yards and 3 TDs

[oddsbodkins 568]

Sort of happy Sterling's migraine made it academic for me. Maclin it is.

[BobbyLayne 10,099]

It’s pretty windy today. 

The Chiefs are facing the Giants.

You make the call.

Personally I’m going with Alex Smith.

My other option is Dak without Tyrun Smith.

[Yotes1 42]

Anyone know exactly when Yahoo lineups lock?  Is it at exactly 1 EST for early games, or is it at actual kickoff?

I might lean Dak there. They will be playing catch up and there could be some garbage time stats to be had.

I'm sitting Butker. I think kickers will be ok 40 and in but they might not even attempt FGs in that kind of wind beyond that. Rolling with McManus

[Yotes1 42]

I'm in full on overthink mode to the point of certainly being dead wrong.  Probably should go full on Costanza.

Butker was somehow hitting 50 yarders in pregame warm-ups but yeah, I'd still sit him.

I don't doubt that it's possible, I just wonder how often, if at all, the coaches would even allow them to try. 4th and less than 7, I'd probably just go for it.

I'm sure I'm overthinking it but I can live with him doing well. I can't live with the idea that he craps the bed and I had the ability to do something about it.

[Futz 434]

I just saw Rosa's extra point get blown 5 feet wide of being made.  I'm feeling real comfy with my decision to bench Butker now. Holy moly.

ETA: KC just skipped a 50 yard attempt on a 4th & 5 and successfully went for it.

I rarely switch out late but took your advice here & sat Alex. Didn’t matter as my whole lineup went off be def one of those rare instances weather was a factor.

Probably the first time in 26 years of playing I’ve led the league in scoring for the week with a QB who scored negative points. Also, IME 95-99% of lineup changes after 12:45pm go badly.

So true. I had all the right reasons to bench Butker and they even played out in game and yet, he still outscores my 12:55p change out with McManus.  I need a new fall hobby.
