NFL Week 16 Fantasy Football Weather Report

Lamar Jackson - Fantasy Football Rankings, Draft Sleepers, NFL Injury News

Tony's Week 16 NFL weather report for fantasy football (2023). He looks at which NFL games will be affected by weather to make key fantasy start/sit decisions.

In the NFL, weather can significantly impact games, particularly in the latter part of the season. In this article, we will examine how various weather elements could influence the games scheduled for Week 16 of the 2023 season and what implications this may have for fantasy sports enthusiasts and bettors.

We will rely on the most accurate and up-to-date weather forecasts for each stadium from AccuWeather, a source that provides comprehensive weather maps. Factors such as temperature, precipitation, wind speed and direction, humidity, and visibility can play a crucial role in shaping game outcomes and statistics.

Our goal is to assist you in making informed decisions for your fantasy sports and betting activities, allowing you to capitalize on opportunities or navigate challenges posed by weather dynamics. Join us as we delve into the weather forecast for Week 16.

Be sure to check all of our fantasy football rankings for 2025:

 

Dome Games (No Impact)

Some games in Week 16 will benefit from being played in domed stadiums, where the weather won't affect the outcome. These indoor venues provide a consistent environment.

Buffalo Bills @ Los Angeles Chargers

Cleveland Browns @ Houston Texans

Indianapolis Colts @ Atlanta Falcons

Detroit Lions @ Minnesota Vikings

 

Minimal Weather Impact

As we analyze the Week 16 matchups, these dome-encased encounters are drastically different than their open-air counterparts.

Washington Commanders @ New York Jets

The Commanders take on the Jets at MetLife Stadium on Sunday, where the temperature is expected to range from the mid-40s to low-50s. East Rutherford is anticipating severe winds in the two days leading up to the game, resulting in around 16 mph winds on Sunday. Currently, there is a 25% chance of rain, but it is expected to be mostly cloudy, windy, and mild. Kicking and passing may be limited due to the wind, and if the chance of rain increases, it could become a severe impact game.

Seattle Seahawks @ Tennessee Titans

The Seahawks travel to Nashville for a duel with the Titans at Nissan Stadium, and a beautiful day for football is anticipated. The temperature is expected to be in the 60s, reaching a high of 68 degrees, with just nine mph winds. Currently, there is a slight 12% chance of rain, but it's likely to be a great day with a mix of clouds and sunshine.

Green Bay Packers @ Carolina Panthers

The Packers head to Bank of America Stadium to play the Panthers on Sunday. The high is 63 degrees, and the temperature is expected to hover in the high-50s to low-60s for most of the game. Currently, there's just a 2% chance of rain, and with five mph winds, it should be a perfect day for football.

Jacksonville Jaguars @ Tampa Bay Buccaneers 

The battle between two Florida teams takes place in Tampa Bay on Sunday, and it's supposed to be great Florida weather. The high is 78 and the temperature is likely to stay in the 70s for the game. There's a 7% chance of rain with eight mph winds and it's expected to be mostly cloudy and comfortable. Weather should play little to no factor in this game.

Dallas Cowboys @ Miami Dolphins

In one of the most anticipated games of the week, the Cowboys head to Miami for a matchup with the Dolphins. The temperature is expected to remain in the 70s throughout the day, but there is currently a 40% chance of rain. It's anticipated to be a breezy day with 15 mph winds, which could potentially affect kicking and passing. There might be some showers in spots, and it's crucial to monitor the chance of rain closely because constant showers could escalate the impact to severe. However, as of now, it appears to be a mild forecast. Guys like Jaylen Waddle and CeeDee Lamb should have every chance to shine.

New York Giants @ Philadelphia Eagles

This NFC East divisional clash on Christmas Day looks promising at Lincoln Financial Field, with temperatures expected in the high 40s or low 50s and just a 5% chance of rain. Anticipated winds are at a mild five mph, and the day is described as having more clouds than sun. The elements should not be a factor in this game, and it should be great football weather.

Baltimore Ravens @ San Francsico 49ers

The highly anticipated game of the week, a potential Super Bowl preview, features the Ravens traveling to San Francisco to take on the Niners. Weather is not expected to play a significant role, as temperatures are anticipated to be in the 50s on Christmas night. With just a 2% chance of rain and five mph winds, weather conditions are unlikely to impose any limitations on this matchup. Both Lamar Jackson and Christian McCaffrey are poised to dominate the game without any weather-related restrictions. This contest is set to be a strong candidate for the game of the year, and the weather is expected to be solid.

 

Severe Weather Impact

Let's focus on matchups where weather conditions could substantially influence the game.

Cincinnati Bengals @ Pittsburgh Steelers

The Bengals take on the Steelers at Acrisure Stadium in Pittsburgh on Saturday. The temperature is expected to be around 45 degrees with seven mph winds. There is a high 60% chance of rain, and conditions are expected to be cloudy with occasional rain and drizzle. While it shouldn't be a downpour, the wet and cold elements can certainly play a factor in the game.

Arizona Cardinals @ Chicago Bears

The Cardinals head to Chicago to take on the Bears on Sunday, where the weather often plays a factor. The current high is 54 degrees, but with a 55% chance of rain and 10 mph winds, it looks to be another windy and wet day in Chicago. While the day is expected to be mostly mild and cloudy, the possibility of spot showers in the afternoon could add an interesting and wet element to the game.

New England Patriots @ Denver Broncos

The Broncos host the Patriots on Sunday Night Football, and the game in Denver might be accompanied by snowfall. There's a 77% chance of precipitation, and the Denver area is expecting two to four inches of snow before it stops. Winds are anticipated to be around eight mph for the day, and with the significant snowfall, conditions are likely to be very wet and could impact the game.

Las Vegas Raiders @ Kansas City Chiefs

The AFC West divisional clash between the Raiders and Chiefs is set to unfold at Arrowhead Stadium, renowned for hosting games in diverse weather conditions. Christmas Day might witness another of these instances, with the current forecast indicating a substantial 91% chance of rain and temperatures in the high 30s. The wind is expected to reach around 13 mph, and the outlook predicts cooler temperatures accompanied by prolonged periods of rain. While Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce are accustomed to dealing with the elements in Kansas City, their performance could be less dominant than usual if there's heavy rain. This matchup is poised to be a wet and cool divisional battle.

Stay tuned as these weather factors unfold, shaping the narrative of Week 16 in the NFL. It's bound to be an exciting and unpredictable weekend on the gridiron!
