Leaping Girl aims for the top as she faces Bark Force while Rare Woofs faces the underachieving Ridiculous Rascals, looking for a sixth straight win. (Reminder: the Dog League is a custom fantasy football league run on NFL.com)
Tug of War
Current Record: (1-4, 6th place)
Now with one win to their name, Tug of War was very quiet this week, making one change on the bench after dropping Wayne Gallman to bring back Joe Mixon. However, they will leave Mixon and Melvin Gordon on the bench, sticking with the solid duo of Derrick Henry and Leonard Fournette at running back. They were forced into making a change at defense, as Chicago is on bye, so the Chargers defense will start instead, as they face a Steelers team that could be without starting quarterback Mason Rudolph following his scary concussion on Sunday.

Tailwaggerz
Current Record: (2-3, 5th place)
This team has gone ice cold the last two weeks, with Tailwaggerz really lacking the scoring required to keep pace with the rest of the Dog League. To make things worse, Evan Engram is out injured and T.Y. Hilton is on bye, so they made some changes. Jimmy Graham was dropped for Gerald Everett, who gets the start, and the team tentatively pencils in Tyreek Hill to start this week in place of Hilton. If Hill can't go, they do have two very solid backup options in Tyler Boyd and Larry Fitzgerald. Finally, Tailwaggerz dropped Eddy Pineiro to bring in Ka'imi Fairbairn as their new backup kicker.

Ridiculous Rascals
Current Record: (2-3, 4th place)
The biggest news for Rascal this week is the benching of Aaron Rodgers, who has been sat for Matt Ryan after Rodgers stunk up the joint in last week's loss to Emma. Rascal makes a couple more moves, dropping Phillip Dorsett for Will Fuller, who starts over Marquise Brown, and drops Jaylen Samuels for Matt Breida. With Darren Waller on bye, Mark Andrews returns to the starting lineup, and finally, Rascal drops the Steelers defense to pick up the Cowboys, who he will start in a very good match-up against the Jets.

Bark Force
Current Record: (2-3, 3rd place)
Bark Force suffered a tough loss last week, and have had a couple starters not fully playing up to expectations this year, namely Todd Gurley and DeAndre Hopkins. Still, the roster is stacked and the starting lineup is excellent on paper, so Bark Force makes no major changes this week. They will start the Rams defense over the Eagles as they prepare to face the undefeated 49ers this week, as Bark Force hopes the absence of fullback Kyle Juszczyk might limit San Francisco's ground game.
UPDATE: With Todd Gurley doubtful, Bark Force will start Terry McLaurin this week instead.

Leaping Girl
Current Record: (3-2, 2nd place)
After a rough game last week, Emma sends Lamar Jackson to the bench, as Russell Wilson takes back his starting job. She does make a potentially controversial start/sit decision, as Austin Ekeler is benched for D.J. Chark. Ekeler could do well against the Steelers on Sunday night, but with Keenan Allen already starting, she'd rather not gamble too much on a Chargers offense that has had some struggles this year. Now, starting Chark is still a risk, but he was great last week(36.4 points) so she wants to see what he's got. Chark may have to face Marshon Lattimore, who limited Mike Evans to no catches last week, so she'll have to hope D.J. can solve the conundrum that Mike couldn't. She also does have to make a change at kicker with Adam Vinatieri on bye, so she brings in Jake Elliott for a game against Minnesota that could include a lot of field goals.
UPDATE: With George Kittle banged up and questionable, Emma has turned to Austin Hooper to start today against a Cardinals defense that has been torched by tight ends all year.

Rare Woofs
Current Record: (5-0, 1st place)
Looking for their sixth straight win in a row, Rare Woofs welcomes back Davante Adams this week, who they hope will play on Monday night, sending Alshon Jeffery to the bench. They will have to keep an eye out for injuries, though, as Adams is no certainty to play, and neither is Christian McCaffrey, who is dealing with a back issue. On top of all that, Julian Edelman is questionable for tomorrow night's game, so in light of all of these issues, Rare Woofs drops Demarcus Robinson to add Courtland Sutton, who adds to their massive amount of bench depth that includes Kerryon Johnson, Kenny Golladay, Jeffery and LeSean McCoy.
UPDATE: With Davante Adams now ruled out, Kerryon Johnson will start instead.
