Weather concerns: Temperatures in 30s, wind gusts in the 30-35-mph range, possible snow.
Fantasy effect: Probably not as much as you think, but Peyton Manning's struggles in cold/windy weather are well documented. In 31 career regular season "windy" games his passer rating is 85.4 -- notably lower than his overall career mark of 97.9. In the 10 regular season games when the temperature has been 21-40 degrees, his QB rating is 92.6. Obviously, you're still starting Manning and the rest of the star offensive players from each team, but someone like Wes Welker or even Brandon LaFell is a little more iffy. Also, both kickers are bigger question marks, though Stephen Gostkowski should still be started unless the forecast turns even worse.
Raiders at Seahawks
TV coverage: CBS
DirecTV Sunday Ticket channel: 714
Weather concerns: 50-percent chance of rain
Fantasy effect: A wet field won't make life any easier for the Raiders. If you weren't all-in on the Seahawks D/ST yet, you should be. Seattle might keep it on the ground a little more than usual, but Russell Wilson and Doug Baldwin are still startable.
