Football and Weather Impacts: Not a Fantasy

By Samantha-Rae Tuthill, AccuWeather staff writer

Published Oct 5, 2012 8:16 AM EDT | Updated Oct 5, 2012 8:23 AM EDT

Being deeply involved in a fantasy football league involves a lot of time and effort. On top of frequently checking injury reports, it would be wise for participants to closely monitor the home team's local forecast.

When most people consider inclement weather, snow and rain are what usually come to mind. This can impact both the passing and running game. However, wind can be a major player as well, as it can impact throws and kicks. When wind gusts start to reach the 20-25 mph range, participants should consider the impacts.
