The weather was shaping up to be pretty tough heading into this weekend – Cleveland in particular, but it isn’t looking so bad now. We’re definitely going to see some really windy conditions in a few games this week, but the fantastic passing stats don’t take a noticeable hit until the winds hit a steady 20mph. While we have a few in the 15-18mph range, it looks like we missed out on the worst. I’ll still be watching a few matches until kick-off and post any updates below.
Updates after publication
This article will be updated before the games directly in this section and below. I will also post updates on Twitter Sunday morning with a final update around 12:30 p.m. ET if needed.
Watch ‘SUNDAY LIVE’ at noon ET – Mike “The Fantasy Hitman” Wright will answer start / sit questions and cover injury updates for week 6.

Fantastic impact: This game will be very airy, but it’s actually a pretty big improvement over what it looked like earlier this week. Baker Mayfield and the Browns offense will continue to rely on Kareem Hunt with Nick Chubb out, but the TEs are expected to be in heavy demand again this week. Arizona’s offense is likely to have a hard time pushing it down, but I would expect anyone coming up against the Browns’ defensive front. That being said, Kyler Murray shouldn’t be too affected by the weather. This might actually make him a sneaky DFS game where the perception of the weather will push people away from him.
