(Reminder: the Dog League is a custom fantasy football league run on NFL.com) Leaping Girl Current Record: (4-8, 6th place) One more loss will eliminate Leaping Girl from the playoffs, making her the first team to miss the top 4 in Dog League history.

The Dog League: Week 12 Review(2018 Season)

Rascal proves his worth and Rare Woofs bring out the brooms in Week 12 of the Dog League. (Reminder: the Dog League is a fantasy football league run on NFL.com) Game 1: Tug of War(109.98) vs Leaping Girl(126.96) ANALYSIS Leaping Girl keeps her season alive, as the unlikely tandem of Ezekiel Elliott(20.3 points) and Nick Chubb(24.8 points) powered her to victory. With this win, Leaping Girl does still have a chance to make the playoffs, although she needs to win out and for other results to go her way. Tug of War didn't have a bad game, but other than Phillip Lindsay(17 points), there were no real highlights this week. Game 2: Ridiculous Rascals(124.94) vs Tailwaggerz(105.04) ANALYSIS It was an uneven game for Rascal, as Christian McCaffrey(35.7 points) and the Ravens defense(18 points) played well. On the other hand, Doug Baldwin(3.9 points), Antonio Brown(6.7 points) and Greg Olsen(1.1 points) all struggled mightily to get anything going, making this game far

The Dog League: Week 12 Preview(2018 Season)

Tailwaggerz faces Ridiculous Rascals, in a game that is not just first versus second, but carries even more importance. Tailwaggerz already owns the tiebreaker over Tug of War, and if they win this week, they'll also own the tiebreaker over Rascal. A win will put them 2 games up with 2 to play, meaning that winning this week will clinch Tailwaggerz the regular season championship. (Reminder: the Dog League is a custom fantasy football league run on NFL.com) Leaping Girl Current Record: (3-8, 6th place) With any chance to make the playoffs dwindling, Leaping Girl is now in must-win territory in every game. This week, she'll bring Nick Chubb, George Kittle and Keenan Allen back into her starters, sending Emmanuel Sanders to the bench. Eric Ebron was dropped for Jordan Reed, and she exchanged Ravens running backs, Alex Collins out for Gus Edwards. Week 12 Starting Line-Up(vs Tug of War) QB Russell Wilson RB Ezekiel Elliott RB Nick Chubb WR DeAndre Hopkins WR Ada

The Dog League: Week 11 Review(2018 Season)

Bark Force shows no mercy and Tailwaggerz rallies in Week 11 of the Dog League. (Reminder: the Dog League is a custom fantasy football league run on NFL.com) Game 1: Tug of War(98.84) vs Tailwaggerz(120.32) ANALYSIS Tailwaggerz left it late, but pulled out the win on Monday night, as Jared Goff(35.12 points), Kareem Hunt(17.1 points) and Greg Zuerlein(12 points) got the job done. It was an inconsistent day for the league's top team, as James Conner(4.9 points), Alshon Jeffery(3.3 points) and Trey Burton(0.9 points) all struggled. For Tug of War, the Eagles' real life disaster cost them big, as Carson Wentz(0.84 points) and Zach Ertz(1.5 points) gave them little in the way of production. Game 2: Ridiculous Rascals(144.42) vs Rare Woofs(94.8) ANALYSIS It's hard to compete with a team with two 30+ point scorers, as Rascal had this week with Drew Brees(30.52 points) and Tyreek Hill(33.5 points). Not much in terms of big scoring for Rare Woofs this week, as

The Dog League: Week 11 Preview(2018 Season)

It's first versus second in Week 11 of the Dog League, with only four games left. (Reminder: the Dog League is a custom fantasy football league run on NFL.com) Leaping Girl Current Record: (3-7, 6th place) Emma deals with more bye weeks in Week 11, as James White, George Kittle and Nick Chubb are unavailable. She'll bring in Eric Ebron to start at tight end, dropping Marquez Valdes-Scantling. Meanwhile, Alex Collins, DeAndre Hopkins, Adam Thielen and Emmanuel Sanders all get starting spots, and Leaping Girl will start the Chargers defense. Week 11 Starting Line-Up(vs Bark Force) QB Russell Wilson RB Ezekiel Elliott RB Alex Collins WR DeAndre Hopkins WR Adam Thielen TE Eric Ebron WR Emmanuel Sanders K Wil Lutz DEF Los Angeles Chargers Bark Force Current Record: (4-6, 5th place) Le'Veon Bell will not suit up at all this year for Bark Force, so first order of business was to drop the 2nd overall pick, as LeSean McCoy has found a new home. Mark Ing

The Dog League: Week 10 Review(2018 Season)

The Streak................................is over. (Reminder: the Dog League is a custom fantasy football league run on NFL.com) Game 1: Tug of War(130.8) vs Bark Force(116.56) ANALYSIS There were solid contributions at the top level for Tug of War this week, with Matt Ryan(20.5 points) and Alvin Kamara(22.2 points) doing exactly what was expected of them. What was not expected was the performance of Zach Ertz(26.5 points) who led the team in scoring, pouring it on on Sunday night to basically get the win. The star for Bark Force this week was Aaron Jones(29.2 points), but another poor performance from Mike Evans(5.1 points) is cause for concern. Game 2: Rare Woofs(119.54) vs Tailwaggerz(106.92) ANALYSIS In the end, the seven game winning streak of Tailwaggerz came to an end in underwhelming fashion, as Rare Woofs took the lead early and never wavered. The trio of Andrew Luck(21.2 points), Leonard Fournette(22.9 points) and Todd Gurley(22 points) led the surging R

The Dog League: Week 10 Preview(2018 Season)

Rivalries are renewed in Week 10 of the Dog League. (Reminder: the Dog League is a custom fantasy football league run on NFL,com) Rare Woofs Current Record: (3-6, 6th place) With a big rematch upcoming against Tailwaggerz, Rare Woofs gets two big names back, as Andrew Luck and Leonard Fournette take the place of Mitchell Trubisky and Kenyan Drake, respectively. They also will bring back Tevin Coleman, dropping Isaiah Crowell. Coleman will immediately get his chance to start, sending Marvin Jones to the bench. Week 10 Starting Line-Up(vs Tailwaggerz) QB Andrew Luck RB Todd Gurley RB Leonard Fournette WR Julian Edelman WR Michael Thomas TE O.J. Howard RB Tevin Coleman K Stephen Gostkowski DEF Kansas City Chiefs Leaping Girl Current Record: (3-6, 5th place) With the entirety of her starting receiving corps on bye, Emma has been forced to get creative this week, and it has produced one of the strangest starting line-ups in Dog League history.

The Dog League: Week 9 Review(2018 Season)

Tug of War strikes back in Week 9 of the Dog League. (Reminder: the Dog League is a custom fantasy football league run on NFL.com) Game 1: Tug of War(142.3) vs Ridiculous Rascals(121.96) ANALYSIS The trio of Matt Ryan(28 points), Alvin Kamara(29.6 points) and the Bears defense(28 points) powered Tug of War to a decisive win this week, ending their four game losing streak and moving back into 2nd place. Rascal by no means had a poor game, with Christian McCaffrey (27.7 points) leading the way, but not much was going to be enough against Tug of War this week. Game 2: Tailwaggerz(125.78) vs Bark Force(81.8) ANALYSIS Another week, another win for a Tailwaggerz squad that is already one of the best in Dog League history. Cam Newton(21.18 points), Kareem Hunt(32.1 points) and James Conner(22.3 points) nearly won the game by themselves, as Bark Force was downright atrocious. At least a couple of the Chiefs players, Patrick Mahomes(26.8 points) and Travis Kelce(21.9 point
