NFL Week 6 Weather Updates: Rain, wind could impact fantasy start 'em, sit 'em calls image

It should be a fairly quiet Week 6 for NFL weather. There are a few games with a chance for rain showers (Redskins-Dolphins, Bengals-Ravens, Panthers-Buccaneers in London), but nothing that should be a major factor. As usual I’m looking for high winds, and we only have one game (Seahawks-Browns) worth watching in that regard for fantasy football owners.

Before we get into the Week 6 forecast, remember 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 on Twitter @KevinRothWx or check our hourly NFL weather forecasts on RotoGrinders.

Seahawks @ Browns. This game should be dry, but there will be a 10-15-mph sustained wind during the game. The numbers here aren’t exactly devastating -- negligible decrease to passing and overall scoring (courtesy of RotoGrinders WeatherEdge), but that's not enough to cause a major impact on any key players.
