Sunday Morning Projection Updates

Marion Barber is out, and Tashard Choice is in for the Cowboys. Expect Choice to get about 50 yards rushing and 20 yards receiving against Pittsburgh.

There are some weather conditions that could affect the passing games in these areas:

Jacksonville at Chicago - Currently 6 degrees, expected to be in the upper teens/lower 20s by game time. No real wind, though, so the poor passing games of both teams will only suffer a little.

Philadelphia at NY Giants - 37 degrees, some snow, 20 MPH winds. You can downgrade the passing attacks some in this game. Expect Brandon Jacobs to be used a battering ram and expect a lot of touches for Brian Westbrook.

Cleveland at Tennessee - 35 degrees, sunny, 7 MPH winds. Niether of these teams has a big passing attack anyway, but they won't be affected very much.

Houston at Green Bay - 15 degrees, partly sunny, no wind. This is the game many are worrying about, but since the wind is calm, I wouldn't bench Rodgers, Jennings, or Andre Johnson in this game. However, our projection of Rodgers being the best fantasy QB of the week is in some doubt.

Kansas City at Denver - 50 degrees, mostly cloudy. Nothing to worry about, but it is always wise to check Denver's weather this time of year.

Dallas at Pittsburgh - 20 degrees, cloudy, 8 MPH winds. Expect the Steelers to try to wear down the Cowboys with Willie Parker and Mewelde Moore, but the Cowboys have no "Choice" but to pass. The Steelers defense will be a bigger impediment to Romo and company than the weather.

Washington at Baltimore - 30 degrees, clear, 18 MPH winds. This game will see some of the heaviest winds, so it could also have a higher effect on the passing game. Again, niether of these teams is built upon the pass, so it shouldn't affect anyone's fantasy day too much.
