The Dog League: Week 6 Preview(2017 Season)

It's time for Week 6 of the Dog League. (Reminder: the Dog League is a custom fantasy football league run on NFL.com)






Leaping Girl

Despite being on a two game winning streak, there were plenty of changes this week for Leaping Girl. Latavius Murray was out after just one game on the bench, exchanged for teammate Jerick McKinnon, who will be an unlikely starter this week. Struggling wide receiver Amari Cooper has been dropped as well, in favor of the Patriots' Chris Hogan. And with the Seahawks defense on bye, Emma let go of Alshon Jeffery, bringing in the red hot Jaguars defense.

QB Deshaun Watson
RB DeMarco Murray

TE Delanie Walker
WR T.Y. Hilton
K Justin Tucker
DEF Jacksonville Jaguars


Tailwaggerz

On the flip side of the coin is Tailwaggerz, who may have completed one of the most boring weeks in all of the Dog League. They did not make a single move, choosing to stick with the roster they have. They did make a few line-up changes, as C.J. Anderson and Michael Thomas, both returning from bye weeks, check in for Le'Veon Bell and Stefon Diggs, respectively.

QB Tom Brady
RB Lamar Miller

Ridiculous Rascals

It was a busy week for the Ridiculous Rascals, as four players were brought in. The first was Matthew Stafford, exchanged for Russell Wilson, who is out on bye. Rascal chose not to use Option C for Odell Beckham, bringing in another new starter in Pierre Garcon, who fills the spot of the struggling Jay Ajayi. Insurance at the tight end position was also acquired, in the form of Cameron Brate, who takes the spot of the injured Charles Clay, although Rob Gronkowski starts for now. Finally, the Eagles defense was jettisoned in favor of the Denver Broncos, who will face a Giants team potentially missing four wide receivers. Also, Marshawn Lynch will start in place of Ezekiel Elliott, who is on his bye week.

Week 6 Starting Line-Up(vs Tug of War)

QB Matthew Stafford
RB Marshawn Lynch
RB Melvin Gordon
WR Brandin Cooks
WR Tyreek Hill
TE Rob Gronkowski
WR Pierre Garcon
K Kai Forbath
DEF Denver Broncos


Tug of War

There were a few moves on the cards for Tug of War, as they'll look to defend their top spot against the Ridiculous Rascals this week. With A.J. Green on bye, Julio Jones made his way back into the starting line-up. Rookie Harrison Butker was brought in at kicker, replacing veteran Dan Bailey, while Tug of War got a potential steal in Jordan Reed, added in place of Jarvis Landry.

Week 6 Starting Line-Up(vs Ridiculous Rascals)

QB Aaron Rodgers
RB Todd Gurley
RB Kareem Hunt
WR Julio Jones
WR Antonio Brown
TE Travis Kelce
RB Leonard Fournette
K Harrison Butker
DEF Minnesota Vikings



It's first versus second this week in the Dog League, as Tug of War and the Ridiculous Rascals do battle once more. This week will end the second cycle of Dog League games in the season, so momentum, bringing all four teams closer to the half way point of the season.

South Park "Not Funny" Review

Good night, amateur trolls that trolled a troll and trolled themselves into a troll, brothers. With one episode to go in the season, South Park has remained consistently funny and on-point with their humor, though I worry about how their going to wrap all of this up. There are a good six to seven ongoing storylines right now, and only one episode to finish off a few of them. There was no clear focus this week, but I'll start where the episode ended, with Gerald's troll-based storyline. It's pretty satisfying to see the Troll Hunter's massive revelation; that he is, in fact, just another troll, bent on world destruction. Even Gerald couldn't find the humor in his master plan, as the Troll Hunter is truly in a league of his own. With the world on the brink of war, the trolling has truly begun, as the Troll Hunter went to work on his own employees and the other trolls, though why they had to be naked for that is beyond me. Kyle is always a sucker for saving the ...

Sasha Banks looks to earn another title shot, the tag champs are in non-title action and in the main event, for the first time since winning the Royal Rumble, Samoa Joe is in action when he faces Mark Henry. Universe Mode Monday Night Raw February 20th, 2017 Location: Anchorage, AK Itami and Balor vs #DIY The tag champs were in action to open Raw, and their opponents were the debuting Johnny Gargano and Tommaso Ciampa, #DIY.
