The Philadelphia Eagles will host the Las Vegas Raiders at Lincoln Financial Field on Sunday and weather should play a factor in the contest.
The Eagles are trying to get back on the winning track and move closer to locking up the NFC East on Sunday, while the Raiders are just playing out the string after what has been yet another lost season.
But the Eagles and Raiders won't just be battling each other, as the weather is going to make an impact.
Here's what we know about the forecast ahead of kickoff between Philadelphia and Las Vegas, and what impact it'll have on your fantasy football playoff matchup.
Eagles vs. Raiders weather forecast
According to AccuWeather.com, three to six inches of snow is expected to fall by 10 a.m. ET, but no snow is expected after that, so the field should be clear or relatively clear, which is good news.
Conditions will be frigid, though, as it will feel like single digits during the game, with the official temperatures hitting between 25 to 27 degrees during the contest.
The bigger concern right now is the wind, which could see gusts of up to 30 miles per hour throughout the game.
Fantasy football impact
Fantasy-relevant players potentially negatively impacted: QB Jalen Hurts, WRs A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith, TEs Brock Bowers and Dallas Goedert, K Jake Elliott and Daniel Carlson.
Fantasy-relevant players potentially positively impacted: RBs Saquon Barkley and Ashton Jeanty.
If there's snow on the ground during the game, the ball is going to be harder to grip, which makes throwing, catching and carrying the football more difficult. Also, unsure footing could lead to botched field goals and extra points.
With the wind, passing the ball will be impacted, as will kicking. Both teams might opt to avoid longer field goals as a result, and even shorter field goals could be a challenge, also.
If the wind proves to be a major issue, both teams could lean on their rushing attacks more, which would be good news for the running backs.
