It's been a mostly sunny and mild November for football fans, and the Week 11 NFL forecast brings more of the same for most games. However, there are a few potentially windy and rainy spots, including in Kansas City for the latest "Game of the Year" between the Eagles and Chiefs. Fortunately, RotoGrinders' meteorologist Kevin Roth is back to help us break down all the key weather updates before fantasy football owners lock in their start 'em, sit 'em decisions.
Before we get into the Week 11 forecasts, here's a reminder that if you have any questions about sports weather or how weather could impact play (and, potentially, your fantasy, DFS, and gambling decisions), don't hesitate to reach out to RotoGrinders' meteorologist Kevin Roth on Twitter (@KevinRothWx) or check out the hourly NFL weather forecasts on RotoGrinders.

Note: If a game isn't mentioned below, it's because it doesn't even have 10-mph winds or a 20-percent chance of precipitation in the forecast.

NFL weather forecast and updates Week 11
Forecasts courtesy of Kevin Roth at RotoGrinders
Giants @ Commanders. Winds around 10-15 mph are expected for this game, but there's no reason to bench any of your key Commanders or Giant(s).
Buccaneers @ 49ers. San Francisco is no stranger to bad weather, but with winds around 15 mph expected for this game, there's no reason to be worried about any of the key players for either team.
WEEK 11 STANDARD RANKINGS:
QBs | RBs | WRs | TEs | D/STs | Kickers
Jets @ Bills. Early forecasts call for temps in the 30s, 15-mph winds, and a 40-percent chance of rain or snow. We'll know closer to kickoff if the precipitation is expected to be consistent and/or heavy (currently, it's not), so until we hear more, planning on starting all of your key Jets and Bills, but be careful with the kickers. (UPDATE: Temps are now supposed to be a little warmer, and the chance for precipitation has dropped to around 15 percent.)
WEEK 11 DFS:
DK lineup | FD lineup | Best values | Best stacks
Vikings @ Broncos. There's around a 40-percent chance of rain in Denver for Sunday night's game, but winds are supposed to be relatively mild (10 mph). We'll have to monitor this forecast throughout the weekend, but for now, you can safely put Josh Dobbs, Russell Wilson, Courtland Sutton, T.J. Hockenson, Justin Jefferson, and more in your lineup. (UPDATE: The chance for rain has increased slightly, but it doesn't look like it will be persistent or heavy.)
Eagles @ Chiefs. The "Game of the Year" could see suboptimal conditions, with winds around 15 mph expected to go along with a 33-percent chance of rain. Unless conditions worsen, you can't bench any of the high-powered weapons in either passing game, but the kickers are slightly riskier. (UPDATE: It's going to be rainy leading up to the game, but the game itself should only see spotty showers.)
All of this is subject to change as we get closer to kickoff. You can follow meteorologist Kevin Roth on Twitter (@KevinRothWx) and check out the hourly NFL weather forecasts on RotoGrinders. For the best weather-related fantasy advice, take a look at WeatherEdge.
