Rare Woofs continue to flex their might in Week 8 of the Dog League. (Reminder: the Dog League is a custom fantasy football league run on NFL.com)
Game 1: Tug of War(163.38) vs Rare Woofs(195.36)
ANALYSIS
The rich get richer, as Rare Woofs added JuJu Smith-Schuster(21.3 points) for a spot start and Tevin Coleman(37.8 points) to their bench as the league leaders get even stronger. They got great performances from their stars, Dalvin Cook(28.1 points) and Christian McCaffrey(27.5 points) and receivers Julian Edelman(27.5 points) and Kenny Golladay(28.3 points) stepped up in the absence of Davante Adams and Amari Cooper. Add in a feast from the 49ers defense(22 points) and this team looks totally unstoppable right now. For Tug of War, this was another tough loss, as they scored extremely well in defeat, with Saquon Barkley(28.3 points), Michael Thomas(27.3 points) and Cooper Kupp(35 points) leading the way. A really quiet game from Zach Ertz(4 points), and a lesser performance from Chris Godwin(10.3 points) didn't help, but there was really no winning a game like this.
Game 2: Leaping Girl(147.88) vs Tailwaggerz(119.16)
ANALYSIS
It didn't start off well for Emma this week, as Le'Veon Bell(6.5 points) and spot starter Robert Woods(6.2 points) both struggled. D.J. Chark(19.9 points) and the Patriots defense(21 points) gave her a route back in it, but she needed one big scorer. Enter Mike Evans(42.8 points) who torched the Titans secondary for his second 40+ point game of the year, keeping Leaping Girl in the chase for the top spot in the league. Tailwaggerz were short handed this week, missing David Johnson and Alvin Kamara, and did get a heroic performance from Deshaun Watson(27.76 points) to keep them in it. Tyreek Hill(14.1 points) gave it a try on Sunday night, but they ended up falling well short, held by quiet days from Josh Jacobs(10.1 points) and T.Y. Hilton(7.4 points). With this loss, the defending champions now drop below .500 on the year.
Game 3: Ridiculous Rascals(146.2) vs Bark Force(157.68)
ANALYSIS
For most of the day, Bark Force was led by Matthew Stafford(23.38 points) and DeAndre Hopkins(21.9 points) who kept the team in it while Hunter Henry(8.7 points) disappointed on his debut. Then on Sunday night, Aaron Jones(41.6 points) took over, and the game quickly fell out of reach for Rascal. He did have two stellar performances from his stars, Aaron Rodgers(27.1 points) and Julio Jones(25.2 points), and nearly put together an incredible Monday night comeback led by James Conner(24 points) and the Steelers defense(18 points), but it wasn't enough. Quiet games from Darren Waller(9.1 points) and Sony Michel(7.4 points), plus the absences of Ezekiel Elliott and Adam Thielen were too much for Rascal to overcome, who now drops into fifth place at a meager 3-5 record.
