Thanks ...I really needed this to see if I will start the Buf D or the Jax D today.

Very worried here about Cinci. Radar looks like it is going to be very wet.

Holt and CJ going for me, thinking seriously about hedging bets with Cinci DEF.

If it makes you feel any better, I'm starting 4 Bengals in one playoff game (Palmer, Rudi, Watson, and CJ). I'm going up against one of the strongest teams in the league, so it's all or nothing. I have to start one of Watson, Kevin Faulk, Musa Smith, or Turner as one of my RBs (yuck). I could start Hasselbeck instead of Palmer, and I do think both will do well today, but Palmer has a great matchup. Besides, a wet field actually favors the offense, because the WRs know where they are going and the defense has to react.

Thanks JohhnyUThis link doesn't account for domes so before ya get worried of bad weather think if the home team plays in a dome.

Very good link just the same, just feel like I'd better point that out

Yes, I noticed that as well. The first time I saw this link I thought to myself how easy it would be for someone to miss that point, and also how easy it would be for them to list it.

If it makes YOU feel better I'm starting Palmer, Ocho Cinco and Chris Henry against the top team in our league. The temperature for the game looks to be 47-50 degrees, so, not that cold. Also, the weather reports I'm looking at says light rain. Like you said, offense knows where they're running their routes. Also, the defensive lineman won't put as much pressure on the QB as they won't be able to get off the ball as quickly.It's wishful thinking, but, I'm hoping for some points. Great matchup for Cincy.

Palmer, Rudi Johnson, and CJ Splits -Looks like Palmer's QB rating takes a hit in rain from 90 to 77. He's thrown 4 tds to 2 ints in the precip. His yds per game go frm 246 to 201.CJ has had 6 games in the precip and averages 84.5 ypg, with a total of 3 tds. 32 rec / 507 yds for 15.8 avg, which is actually higher than his normal avg of 14.8. His yac go from 3.4 to 2.6.Rudi Johnson has played 5 games in the precip 88/404 yds for an avg of 4.6 ypc, which is higher than his normal of 4.0. He's scored 3 tds.

I'd go with Hass over Palmer today. Hass has been putting up more consistent and better numbers than Palmer over the past month. Rams O will be a basket case this week with Brock Berlin. I see a big lead early for the Bengals and Palmer not having to have a big day in the passing game.

I live about 10 minutes west of the stadium and it is pouring right now.

I am not a big believer in rain kills your fantasy players, but I just thought I would pass along the information.

The Rams will also be without their best CB. He is done for the year.

The whole "rain favors the offense/defense" theory is a bit overblown IMO. Inclement weather favors inferior players because it throws an added "luck" factor into a situation where they would otherwise be outmatched under perfect conditions. For example, Chad Johnson running routes vs Fahkir Brown is a huge mismatch for Cinci on paper. With rain is it a bigger mismatch? Not IMO. I'd rather see them play under perfect conditions.

 

[SanDawg]

lazy question, what is the playing field in Cincy?

Yahoo - Splits. I'm not 100% sure all players are up to date however.

I like the NYJ prediction - "Ice Pellets"

You're probably right. I've decided to take your adivce and start Hass. I'm hoping Rudi / Watson get a few scores today.

I need to know more than "chance of rain". Houston - Tampa Bay game --- homers, what's it going to do down there?

Mostly cloudy. A stray shower or thunderstorm is possible. High 79F. Winds SSE at 10 to 20 mph. Doesn't sound bad at all. I wouldn't worry about the weather in Houston.

Great Info, Johnny U... what are your thoughts on the kicking game in CINCY? Downgrade Graham by one field goal? Maybe expect 3-6 pts instead of 6-9 points?

This gives precip percentages and wind speededit: If raining in Houston, they would just close the roof.

Anyone with a local update from Tennessee?

Warm and wet (rained last night) in Nashville. Not raining now - wouldn't worry about weather here.

I also have Graham going in one game. I thought about putting in Kaeding, but I believe Graham will get several short FG tries today as drives stall in the redzone. The rain may not stop the Bengals totally, but I wouldn't be surprised to see several drives stall

i'm going with reed over graham because of the weather. can't afford to have my kicker get only 3 or 4 points in a low scoring wet affair (i.e. 10 - 7). i just don't see too many sustained drives given this weather.

So far I'm glad I played Hass over Palmer.
