The Dog League: Week 15 Preview(2017 Playoffs)

It's a different look for these preview posts for the Dog League this week, as we enter the playoffs. (Reminder: the Dog League is a custom fantasy football league run on NFL.com)






Game 1: (1) Tug of War vs (4) Tailwaggerz


Tailwaggerz

It was a very nice, although ultimately useless, win for Tailwaggerz last week, as they handed Ridiculous Rascals their third loss in a row. The games don't come much bigger than this, as they square off with the peaking Tug of War in the first round of the playoffs. Heading into this week, they made two moves, adding Kenyan Drake for Adrian Peterson and the Ravens defense for the Patriots. Both will start, with Drake replacing Robby Anderson, while the returning Zach Ertz takes his starting spot back from Evan Engram.

Week 15 Starting Line-Up

QB Tom Brady
RB Le'Veon Bell
RB Jordan Howard
WR Mike Evans
WR Michael Thomas
TE Zach Ertz
RB Kenyan Drake
K Wil Lutz
DEF Baltimore Ravens


Tug of War

The defending champions of the Dog League got some extra silverware last week, capturing their second regular season championship. The celebrations cannot last long, as they play Tailwaggerz this week, with even one mistake having the potential to take them out. Tug of War will bring Kareem Hunt back into the starting line-up this week, as he replaces A.J. Green. They will also have a new defense, dropping the Seahawks for the Broncos.

Week 15 Starting Line-Up

QB Russell Wilson
RB Devonta Freeman
RB Todd Gurley
WR Julio Jones
WR Antonio Brown
TE Travis Kelce
RB Kareem Hunt
K Chris Boswell
DEF Denver Broncos


Game 2: (2) Ridiculous Rascals vs (3) Leaping Girl


Leaping Girl

Coming off of a disappointing loss to Tug of War to close the season, Leaping Girl will look to rebound in her first playoff game against the Ridiculous Rascals. She added two Panthers, dropping the injured Carson Wentz for Cam Newton and Kyle Rudolph for Greg Olsen, although neither is in line to start. She did bring DeMarco Murray into her line-up this week, benching Samaje Perine.

Week 15 Starting Line-Up

QB Drew Brees
RB LeSean McCoy
RB Alvin Kamara
WR Keenan Allen
WR DeAndre Hopkins
TE Jimmy Graham
RB DeMarco Murray
K Justin Tucker
DEF Jacksonville Jaguars


Ridiculous Rascals

In the midst of a three game losing streak, Ridiculous Rascals are suddenly in major trouble, as they will attempt to save their season this week against Leaping Girl. They will get Rob Gronkowski back this week, while Matthew Stafford earns a start over Dak Prescott. In terms of waiver moves, they made just one, dropping Alshon Jeffery for Jamaal Williams, although he is not in line to start.

UPDATE: Rascal has now dropped the Chargers defense for the Saints.

Week 15 Starting Line-Up

QB Matthew Stafford
RB Mark Ingram
RB Melvin Gordon
WR Adam Thielen
WR Brandin Cooks
TE Rob Gronkowski
WR Tyreek Hill
K Kai Forbath
DEF New Orleans Saints

Henry's Universe Mode #231: WrestleMania II (Part 3)

Finn Balor vs The Undertaker Finn Balor felt the full force of the strikes of The Undertaker in the early going, eating rights and lefts to the skull. The Undertaker continued to lay into Balor, dumping him to the floor with a clothesline, then following up with his vintage suicide dive! After a brief skirmish on the outside, the Deadman got destructive, grabbing the Demon's throat and driving him through the announce table with a chokeslam! It was here that The Undertaker allowed Finn Balor a chance to just give up and concede defeat, but Balor wasn't having any of it. Finn got his second wind, countering an attempted chokeslam to connect with a reverse DDT, then the shotgun dropkick in the corner. Up top, Finn connected with Coup de Grace! 1........................2.......................but it's going to take a lot more to put The Undertaker away, especially at WrestleMania. Balor laid in some shots, busting The Undertaker open, but that proved to be a huge mistake. ...

American Dad "Stompe Le Monde" Review

You know, I once tried to make it in musical theater. If only I had watched this episode beforehand, I would've known I needed a leather jacket to truly make it. Alas, those dreams are for a more pretentious soul than mine. "Stompe Le Monde" is a wild episode of American Dad, one that starts with Stan's previously unknown uncle dying and ends with wanton destruction of many Sonic Drive-Ins. It's a crazy a journey as it sounds, one that left me just struggling to keep up. The family to use the new inheritance to travel to New York City, but Stan quickly blows the money on the rights to Stomp, which is apparently a real musical. The whole town of Langley is very excited to see the new show, but Stan has no idea what he's doing, never once hiring a director or even rehearsing. Why this only came up literally minutes before opening is anyone's guess. The Smith Family is forced to go on the run, and are attacked by many ferocious coyotes off-screen. In ye...

American Dad "The Hand that Rocks the Rogu" Review

American Dad as a show is definitely not afraid to get a little freaky, and nothing is more evident than the existence of Rogu, Roger's tumor that became a character himself in "Persona Assistant". Rogu primarily works as a character because he stays in the background, but this week, he takes a starring role in one of the weirdest American Dad episodes to date. "The Hand that Rocks the Rogu" has little in the way of traditional plot structure, and can only barely be considered an episode at all. It's more a collection of funny and bizarre skits, with a few running plot points that end up forming some sort of resolution. Steve wants to become a babysitter, but Francine says he's not ready, so he needs to prove himself to her. He does that by taking care of Rogu, as Roger is off for a night of NSFW activities. Steve is instructed not to let Rogu have candy or screentime, but violates both rules almost immediately. It turns out that Rogu multiplies w...
