Who’s playing: Denver Broncos @ New York Jets (Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, London)
Expected Kickoff Weather: 58°F, mostly cloudy, winds 5 mph NE
Fantasy impacts: Mild conditions with no significant precipitation or high winds expected. This should have minimal effect on passing or kicking games, allowing for normal fantasy production from QBs, WRs, and kickers. The open-air pitch could feel cooler, but it won’t favor run-heavy adjustments.
Who’s playing: Arizona Cardinals @ Indianapolis Colts (Lucas Oil Stadium, Indianapolis)
Expected Kickoff Weather: 68°F, clear, winds 5 mph E (roof status: retractable, likely closed given standard operations)
Fantasy impacts: As an indoor game, no weather impacts. Expect standard fantasy output without adjustments for elements; passing attacks and kickers remain reliable.
Who’s playing: Los Angeles Chargers @ Miami Dolphins (Hard Rock Stadium, Miami Gardens)
Expected Kickoff Weather: 79°F, slight chance of thunderstorms, winds 5 mph NW
Fantasy impacts: Warm weather with potential thunderstorms could lead to delays or slippery conditions, slightly favoring running backs over deep passes. Monitor for lightning; if clear, QBs and WRs should perform normally, but gusts could affect field goals.
Who’s playing: Cleveland Browns @ Pittsburgh Steelers (Acrisure Stadium, Pittsburgh)
Expected Kickoff Weather: 60°F, slight chance of rain showers, winds 8 mph NE
Fantasy impacts: Possible light rain could make the ball slippery, reducing passing efficiency and increasing fumbles—favor RBs and short-pass options. Winds under 10 mph won’t heavily impact kicks, but monitor for worsening conditions.
Who’s playing: Dallas Cowboys @ Carolina Panthers (Bank of America Stadium, Charlotte)
Expected Kickoff Weather: 63°F, chance of rain showers, winds 13 mph N
Fantasy impacts: Rain and moderate winds may hinder deep throws and field goals, pushing teams toward run-heavy strategies. This boosts RB fantasy value but could cap QB and WR ceilings; avoid risky long-range kickers.
Who’s playing: Seattle Seahawks @ Jacksonville Jaguars (EverBank Stadium, Jacksonville)
Expected Kickoff Weather: 73°F, slight chance of rain showers, winds 9 mph NW
Fantasy impacts: Mild chance of showers could slightly affect grip and passing, but overall warm conditions keep the game balanced. Minimal wind impact; standard fantasy expectations unless rain intensifies.
Who’s playing: Los Angeles Rams @ Baltimore Ravens (M&T Bank Stadium, Baltimore)
Expected Kickoff Weather: 65°F, likely rain, winds 15 mph NE
Fantasy impacts: Steady rain and stronger winds will likely suppress passing games and increase turnovers, favoring ground attacks like Derrick Henry. Kickers face challenges with wet balls and gusts—downgrade aerial threats and consider sitting marginal QBs/WRs.
Who’s playing: New England Patriots @ New Orleans Saints (Caesars Superdome, New Orleans)
Expected Kickoff Weather: 79°F, clear, winds 4 mph NE (indoor dome)

Who’s playing: Detroit Lions @ Kansas City Chiefs (GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium, Kansas City)
Expected Kickoff Weather: 72°F, slight chance of thunderstorms, winds 12 mph SE
Fantasy impacts: Potential storms could cause delays or slick fields, favoring runs over passes. Winds may impact deep balls and long kicks—downgrade volatile WRs if conditions worsen, but mild overall.
Who’s playing: Buffalo Bills @ Atlanta Falcons (Mercedes-Benz Stadium, Atlanta)
Expected Kickoff Weather: 67°F, clear, winds 6 mph NW (roof status: retractable, likely closed)
