Of course, nothing is more ideal than the three games being played in stadiums with a roof (Lions-Vikings, Rams-Saints, Titans-Cowboys), but fantasy owners can’t ask for much more this time of year, especially if you already loaded up a D/ST playing against a couple rookie QBs.

NFL Week 9 weather updates
The biggest weather concerns, if you can call them that, appear to be in the Chiefs-Browns and Jets-Dolphins games. Both should see winds in the 10-15-mph range, with the latter possibly seeing some rain showers. There’s no reason to bench your regular starters, but if you were looking for an extra reason to use the Chiefs, Dolphins or Jets D/STs, this is it. (Update: As are the expected poor field conditions for the Dolphins-Jets game.)

There could also be some rain in the Chargers-Seahawks game, but given how hot both passing games have been lately, it’s tough to recommend sitting Philip Rivers, Russell Wilson, or any of their receivers.
