NFL Week 4 Weather Updates: Wind, rain shouldn't be big factors in fantasy football start 'em, sit 'em decisions image

It seems as if we've had more weather worries than usual early in the season this year, but after looking at the Week 4 NFL weather forecasts, things appear to be settling down -- at least for one week. There's a little bit of rain and some light wind in a few spots, but fantasy football start 'em, sit 'em decisions should not be affected. Only the Bills-Packers, Buccaneers-Bears, and Jets-Jaguars seem likely to feature some wet conditions.

There should be some nice late-September football weather elsewhere around the league, with Lions-Cowboys, Bengals-Falcons, Texans-Colts, and Seahawks-Cardinals getting the advantage of being played in stadiums with a roof.

NFL Week 4 weather updates

A few spots in the Midwest could see relatively cool temperatures with some light rain throughout the day. Bills-Packers in Green Bay is the most likely, but Bucs-Bears in Chicago also has a similar forecast. Unless you're a really worrisome type, there's no reason to alter your fantasy lineups because of the forecasts for either game.

Even less of a worry is the Jets-Jaguars in Jacksonville, where there will be some light wind and the chance of a quick shower or two. There's also a little bit of wind in the forecast for the Browns-Raiders in Oakland, but likely nothing much over 10 mph. Start all your regular players as you normally would.
