We have already had one wet game in Week 17 (Thursday night’s Seahawks-Bears low-scoring matchup) and there’s more to come. It looks like this is the wettest week of the season and most outdoor games will have a threat of rain (mainly the Sunday games and especially the game in Washington. DC.). Also, gusty winds will be a problem in Cleveland.

The forecasts for each outdoor game are shown below. If you’re interested in how various types of weather impact scoring of skill position players, check out the list at the bottom of this article.

This weekly SportsEthos NFL weather report shows the weather forecast for each outdoor game. We will look for weather conditions that may help – or hinder – your fantasy players. We’ll also highlight games where weather forecasts may help us with Over/Under betting decisions.
