The Buffalo Bills and Cincinnati Bengals are squaring off in a crucial matchup for both teams and weather could make an impact.
According to NFL Network’s Cameron Wolfe, the snow is already falling in Buffalo ahead of kickoff and that is expected to be the case all game long.
How much snow falls is the real concern here.
Let’s check out the weather forecast for this crucial AFC matchup to determine how much of an impact the snow might have on the game.
Bills vs. Bengals weather forecast
According to Weather.com, one to three inches of snow is expected on Sunday, but winds will be reasonable at 10 to 15 miles per hour.
Here’s how the forecast could impact the game.
Fantasy football impact
Slick conditions and snow accumulation will make it more difficult for players to find their footing and grip the football.
That’s a concern for fantasy-relevant players such as quarterbacks Josh Allen and Joe Burrow, wide receivers Ja’Marr Chase, Tee Higgins and Khalil Shakir, as well as tight ends Mike Gesicki, Noah Fant and Dalton Kincaid.
There’s also a slight concern for kickers, as slick conditions and snow accumulation can lead to poor footing and botched snaps. Thankfully, the wind shouldn’t be too big of a factor.
Conversely, bad conditions for a passing attack could lead to more work for running backs James Cook and Chase Brown.
