NFL Week 14 Weather Update: Light winds, little rain, and snow in forecast ease decisions that start imagining

NFL Week 14 Weather Update
Forecasts are allowed for Kevin Roth at RotoGrinders
Raiders @ Chiefs. Winds in the 15-20 mph range are never fun, but they aren’t likely to have a big influence on your imaginary decisions. If you’re really worried, you might want to skip the kickers here, but even that isn’t entirely necessary.
WEEK 14 USE DFS: DraftKings | FanDuel | Yahoo!
Crows @ Browns. This is another game with the potential for minor wind problems, as gusts can occur at around 15 mph. Overall, that’s manageable for all players.
WEEK 14 STANDARD RANKING:
Midfielder | Run back | Wide receiver | Tight ending | VND / ST | Kicker
Saints @ Jets. There are more light winds here (10-13 mph). We only mention it because QB isn’t the biggest, so give the defence a little support.
Bills @ Buccaneers. The chance of rain and wind around 10 mph is about 20%. Unless the forecast turns significantly worse, there’s no weather-related reason to leave any of these powerful fouling players on the bench.
WEEK 14 PPR RANKING:
Midfielder | Run back | Wide receiver | Tight ending | VND / ST | Kicker
Bears @ Packers. It will be the coldest game of the week, with temperatures around freezing, but no rain and winds of around 12 mph are expected, nothing to worry about.
