Moss and his cold weather playoff schedule (1 Viewer)

Home for Carolina, @Buff, and home for Jax. It seems like a creampuff schedule but what happens if Mother Nature deals the northeast a week 15 blizzard?

If memory serves, he did just fine a few weeks agon when they played in a snow storm.

If anything I am hoping for snow, let it snow baby!

Rember last year against Arizona in week16. ANyone bench Cassel that day and live to regret it?Unless its super windy and I have the Kicker, Im not benching players due to weather, ever, especially studs.

You guys are right. Roll with what got you here...

Carolina is actually a pretty good pass D; so is Buffalo.

Anyone worried about the Jets matchup with him? The Jets in my PPR league give up the fewest points in football to opposing fantasy WR's, and Moss hasn't exactly lit it up against them. In fact, his numbers are squarely below average if he doesn't score a TD, and historically he only gets maybe on against them, so you're essentially banking on the TD to get a good game out of him.

Pats are gonna hang 40 on the Jets this weekend. Team is in dis-array and they owe them. BB runs it up this weekend

no

The only game to be concerned with weather wise is Buffalo and only there if the wind becomes a concern.

 

[FunkyPlutos]

Do the DB's play in the cold weather too?

I'm sure you're trying to make a point, so I want to try really hard to understand what it is . . .

He did well playing in Green bay when it was cold too. Where is the problem?

I always find it funny when people upgrade fast players on artificial turf - fast players are faster than slower players no matter what field they play on. Same logic applies here - why would you downgrade Moss if the weather is cold? Does it have to do with his ability to outrun DB's or does it have to do with the QB not being able to throw it as well? My point was everyone plays in the same weather, so if you downgrade one player, you downgrade everyone, which keeps Moss that much better than everyone else.

I live in MA, have Brady on my FF team and am contemplating trading for Moss and the Buffalo game (due only to concerns about wind...NOT snow) is the only game that concerns me. In my case, it's concern about doubling up so if I only had Moss OR Brady, I'd be far less concerned (if at all)

 

[Ghost Rider]

As always, wind is the concern, not snow (unless it is a blizzard) or cold weather. Remember how the Patriots record-breaking offense came to a screeching halt in that windy game against the Jets in December '07?

 

[hauser42]

Snow and rain make the ball hard to handle, but for most part dont derail numbers that much.

High winds hurt the passing and kicking game, but does this mean that RBs and Defenses get upgrades in high winds??

I start Moss every week no matter what since he puts up great numbers. Last year I won a total points leagu by 2 points at the end of the season. 2nd place guy played Warner in NE high winds and left Cutler on the bench. Costly move.

 

[BaBastage]

Wind can be a valid factor.

As far as the other elements, I thought it was pretty well established around here that inclement weather favors the offense, who knows ahead of time what route they need to run. It's the defender having to make on-the-fly adjustments that are more likely to get affected.

no.I remember a rainy game, though.

 

[steelcityman]

they(NE) are used to bad weather

offense knows where they are going, so easier to get open in bad weather, defense reacts or plays soft not to get beat

I trust Brady/Moss in snow more than most in sun and 70 degrees.
