NFL Week 11 Weather Updates: Cold temperatures ahead, but wind, rain, or snow won't affect fantasy start 'em, sit 'em choices image

Once the NFL season hits November, every week's weather forecast is a potential landmine for fantasy football owners. Wind? Rain? Extreme cold temperatures? Snow? It's all a possibility, so those with tough Week 11 start 'em, sit 'em decisions should count their blessings that for the second straight week, weather won't be a major factor.

Of course, we all know that two straight weeks of ideal November weather means a bomb is going to drop at some point, be it this month or next, but we'll worry about that when the time comes. With five games in stadiums with a roof (Panthers-Lions, Cowboys-Falcons, Titans-Colts, Eagles-Saints, Raiders-Cardinals) and three games in Florida (Steelers-Jaguars) or Southern California (Broncos-Chargers, Chiefs-Rams) -- plus six teams on bye -- the NFL schedule makers helped us out by putting minimal games in harm's way.

NFL Week 11 weather updates

Most of the none dome/warm-weather games will only have to deal with temperature worries, but even those are minor for this time of year. The temperatures along the East Coast for the Bengals-Ravens, Bucs-Giants, and Texans-Redskins project to be in the mid-40s with little wind.

The only game with temperatures expected to be below freezing is the Vikings-Bears Sunday night contest in Chicago. There is also some very mild wind concerns for that game, with gusts around 10 mph. Ultimately, it's nothing that should cause you to bench any of your regular starters, so enjoy the ideal conditions while they last.
