As of Wednesday afternoon there are seven games projected to be played in sub-freezing temperatures in Week 16. While it’s less than ideal for everyone, the passing games are what we should be particularly concerned about, especially where wind is involved. While there could be some precipitation concerns in New York on Thursday night, and the wind in Chicago is always something to watch, Cleveland looks like the only certain problem area. The forecast there calls for temperatures around 10 degrees, with sustained winds over 25 MPH and gusts as high as 50 MPH. Oh yeah, and snow. For that reason, you won’t see Amari Cooper or Chris Olave in my top 30 wide receivers in the projections below, and they’re even lower in the rankings. Cooper ranks slightly higher because his ADOT is lower than Olave’s and he has a quarterback more likely to throw through the wind in Deshaun Watson. But there are multiple waiver wire options below who I would start over both. Week 16 Previews: QB | RB | TEIf you got this far with Cooper or Olave on your roster then you’ve done it in spite of them, not because of them, at least as of late. In Week 16, you should probably try to do it with them on your bench. Here is the rest of the Week 16 WR Preview:
