MORE FANTASY FOOTBALL: Starts/Sits | Podcast | ‘Most Hated’ list
SUNDAY
Games starting at 1 p.m. ET
Titans at Ravens TV coverage: CBS DirecTV Sunday Ticket channel: 705 Weather concerns: None
Chiefs at Bills TV coverage: CBS DirecTV Sunday Ticket channel: 706 Weather concerns: Temps in the 30s/40s, winds gusting up to 16 mph Fantasy effect: If anything, marginally downgrade the kickers in this game.
Dolphins at Lions TV coverage: CBS DirecTV Sunday Ticket channel: 707 Weather concerns: None (Dome/Retractable roof)
Steelers at Jets TV coverage: CBS DirecTV Sunday Ticket channel: 708 Weather concerns: None
Cowboys vs. Jaguars (in London) TV coverage: Fox DirecTV Sunday Ticket channel: 709 Weather concerns: 60-percent chance of rain Fantasy effect: Even more running on a sloppy field. Downgrade Terrance Williams and the Jags’ receivers, as well as both kickers.
49ers at Saints TV coverage: FOX DirecTV Sunday Ticket channel: 710 Weather concerns: None (Dome/Retractable roof)
Falcons at Buccaneers TV coverage: FOX DirecTV Sunday Ticket channel: 711 Weather concerns: 60-percent chance of rain, gusts up to 16 mph Fantasy effect: This could slow down both team’s passing games, but given their respective inabilities to cover receivers, it’s tough to recommend downgrading any of the key WRs significantly. Tampa’s receivers might lose a little value given their already precarious QB situation.
Game starting at 4:05 p.m. ET
Broncos at Raiders TV coverage: CBS DirecTV Sunday Ticket channel: 712 Weather concerns: None
Game starting at 4:25 p.m. ET
Rams at Cardinals TV coverage: CBS DirecTV Sunday Ticket channel: 713 Weather concerns: None (Dome/Retractable roof)
Giants at Seahawks TV coverage: Fox DirecTV Sunday Ticket channel: 714 Weather concerns: 60-percent chance of rain Fantasy effect: Rain won’t help either team’s passing games, but given Seattle’s well-kept field, it shouldn’t be a big issue unless there’s a brief downpour.
Game starting at 8:30 p.m. ET
Bears at Packers TV coverage: NBC Weather concerns: Temperatures in the 30s, 30-percent chance of precipitation. Fantasy affect: These teams are used to playing in cold and potentially snowy conditions, and it doesn’t sound like the weather will get too out of hand. Obviously, this will be worth watching as we get closer to game time.
MONDAY
Game starting at 8:30 p.m. ET
