If you’re still reading analysis articles on Fantasy Sharks, congratulation is in order since you’re probably in the thick of your league’s playoffs or in the championship game. But now isn’t the time to sit back and pat yourself on the back. It’s time to hunker down and pay attention to every little detail as there is no more room for even the slightest of errors. One detail often overlooked is weather conditions and how it will affect your players. Weather can be a big factor in games this time of year. So this week, we’ll take a look at the weather forecast for each game’s designated time slot (as of Thursday, Dec. 18th) and how it should affect the teams’ passing, running, kicking, and defensive games. The upgrades and downgrades need to be used on a relative scale. For example, if we upgrade the Rams’ offense because the game is indoors and slightly downgrade Denver’s passing game because of 15 mph winds, it doesn’t mean you should start Marc Bulger over Jay Cutler. That should be obvious. Indianapolis @ Jacksonville, Dec. 18th, 7:15 PM EST Temperature: 62 – 670 F Wind: 1-4 mph E/SE Condition: 0% chance of rain Advice: No change. Baltimore @ Dallas, Dec. 20th, 7:15 PM CST Temperature: 39 – 520 F Wind: 12-15 mph N Condition: 20% chance of rain Advice: No change. Weather won’t have much a factor because Texas stadium is mostly indoors. Cincinnati @ Cleveland, Dec. 21st, 1:00 PM EST Temperature: 24 – 290 F Wind: 20-21 mph S/SE Condition: 65% – 73% chance of snow showers Advice: Upgrade the defenses and running game. Downgrade the passing and kicking games. New Orleans @ Detroit, Dec. 21st, 1:00 PM EST Indoors Advice: Slightly downgrade the defenses. Upgrade the passing and kicking games. Miami @ Kansas City, Dec. 21st, 12:00 PM CST Temperature: 66 – 680 F Wind: 17-20 mph NW Condition: 10% – 17% chance of rain Advice: Slightly upgrade the defenses and running game.

Arizona @ New England, Dec. 21st, 1:00 PM EST Temperature: 36 – 400F Wind: 11-12 mph E/NE Condition: 75% – 95% chance of snow and rain Advice: There should be some heavy winter weather in the morning before game-time, but it looks like it will warm up a bit before kickoff. However, the field will be ugly and possibly covered with snow/ice. Upgrade the defenses. Slightly upgrade the running games. Downgrade the passing and kicking games.
