Weather forecast and NFL updates for Week 11
Expectations, God willing Kevin Roth at RotoGrinders
Giants @ Leaders. Wind speeds for this game are expected to reach around 10-15 mph, but there is no reason to bench any of the major leaguers or Giants.
Buccaneers @49ers. San Francisco is no stranger to bad weather, but with winds of around 15 mph expected for this game, there’s no reason to worry about any of the key players for either team.
Standard Rankings for Week 11:
QBs | Regional Resources | WRS| TEs| Dr. sts | Kickers
aircraft@bills. Early forecasts call for 15 mph winds and a 40 percent chance of rain. We’ll know ahead of kickoff if the rain is expected to be consistent and/or heavy, so until we hear more, plan on starting all your planes and major bills, but be careful with your kicks.

vikings@broncos. There’s about a 40 percent chance of rain in Denver during Sunday night’s game, but winds should be relatively moderate (10 mph). We’ll have to keep an eye on these projections throughout the weekend, but for now, you can safely put Josh Dobbs, Russell Wilson, Courtland Sutton, TJ Hockenson, Justin Jefferson, and others in your lineup.
Eagles @ Chiefs. The Game of the Year could see sub-optimal conditions, with winds expected to gust around 15 mph and a 33 percent chance of rain. Unless conditions get worse, you can’t use any of the high-powered weapons in either passing game, but kickers are a bit more dangerous.
All of this is subject to change as we get closer to kick-off. You can follow meteorologist Kevin Roth on Twitter (@Kevin Rothox) and check the hourly NFL weather forecast on RotoGrinders. For the best nonfiction weather advice, check out WeatherEdge.
