MORE FANTASY FOOTBALL: ‘Most Hated’ list | Craziest fantasy performances
SUNDAY
Games starting at 1 p.m. ET
Jaguars at Texans TV coverage: Fox DirecTV Sunday Ticket channel: 705 Weather concerns: None (Dome/Retractable roof)
Bears at Vikings TV coverage: Fox DirecTV Sunday Ticket channel: 706 Weather concerns: Temperatures in the low-20s Fantasy effect: None
Eagles at Giants TV coverage: Fox DirecTV Sunday Ticket channel: 707 Weather concerns: 36-percent chance of rain Fantasy effect: This could turn into a sloppy game given how turnover-prone both quarterbacks are. Marginally upgrade both D/STs and marginally downgrade both kickers.
Saints at Buccaneers TV coverage: Fox DirecTV Sunday Ticket channel: 708 Weather concerns: None
Cowboys at Redskins TV coverage: Fox DirecTV Sunday Ticket channel: 709 Weather concerns: 66-percent chance of rain Fantasy effect: Potentially rainy weather makes this tough-to-analyze game even tougher. Wet conditions won’t help either offense, especially the turnover-prone Redskins. Poor field conditions could also cause the Cowboys to pull their starters earlier than expected (if they were expected to at all).
Browns at Ravens TV coverage: CBS DirecTV Sunday Ticket channel: 710 Weather concerns: 66-percent chance of rain Fantasy effect: Expect more running from both teams, and marginally downgrade both kickers.Chargers at Chiefs TV coverage: CBS DirecTV Sunday Ticket channel: 711 Weather concerns: Temperatures in the low-30s Fantasy effect: None
Jets at Dolphins TV coverage: CBS DirecTV Sunday Ticket channel: 712 Weather concerns: 16-percent chance of rain Fantasy effect: None
Bills at Patriots TV coverage: CBS DirecTV Sunday Ticket channel: 713 Weather concerns: 27-percent chance of rain Fantasy effect: None
Colts at Titans TV coverage: CBS DirecTV Sunday Ticket channel: 714 Weather concerns: 66-percent chance of rain Fantasy effect: This is another game that could turn sloppy in a hurry. Expect more running from both teams. Marginally upgrade the D/STs and downgrade the kickers.
Games starting at 4:25 p.m. ET
Raiders at Broncos TV coverage: CBS DirecTV Sunday Ticket channel: 715 Weather concerns: Temperatures in the 30s Fantasy effect: None
Panthers at Falcons TV coverage: CBS DirecTV Sunday Ticket channel: 716 Weather concerns: None (Dome/Retractable roof)
Lions at Packers TV coverage: Fox DirecTV Sunday Ticket channel: 717 Weather concerns: Temperatures in the low-20s Fantasy effect: Cold weather and the Lions generally don’t mix, but the low temps shouldn’t be enough to cause fantasy owners to sit Calvin Johnson or Golden Tate.
Cardinals at 49ers TV coverage: Fox DirecTV Sunday Ticket channel: 718 Weather concerns: None
Rams at Seahawks TV coverage: Fox DirecTV Sunday Ticket channel: 719 Weather concerns: None
Game starting at 8:30 p.m. ET
Bengals at Steelers TV coverage: NBC Weather concerns: Temperatures in the 30s, 57-percent chance of precipitation Fantasy effect: For some teams, this forecast would cause potential gameplan changes. But the Steelers and Bengals are used to weather like this, so we don’t expect any serious weather-related issues aside from a few more runs for each team.
