2021 has continued to be dominated by Rascal and Rare Woofs, who easily maneuvered their way through a tricky Week 10, and with the rest of their competition falling away, it looks like it may be a two horse race to the finish.

Growlers
Current Record: (3-7, 8th Place)
Only Josh Allen and Darrel Williams showed up to play last week for Growlers, who were handed a humiliating loss to their fellow expansion team, Canine Comets, which dropped Growlers back to the bottom of the standings. This week, they have a mess at running back, with Cordarrelle Patterson and Damien Harris carrying in injuries, while Williams will likely have to deal with the return of Clyde Edwards-Helaire. Growlers will start Darnell Mooney in the flex, leaving Williams to bump up to RB2, although the lineup will almost certainly change if Patterson or Harris are cleared. The other lineup change came at kicker, as with Matt Gay on bye, Growlers dropped him to add Greg Zuerlein.
UPDATE: Growlers will start Damien Harris as the RB2 for this week.
UPDATE: Growlers will start Darnell Mooney over Emmanuel Sanders this week.

Canine Comets
Current Record: (3-7, 7th Place)
For the first time all year, the Comets have won consecutive games, and with Nick Chubb, Clyde Edwards-Helaire, and Chris Carson all potentially returning this week, the future looks bright. Chubb returns to the roster, sending Julio Jones to the reserve, and re-takes his RB1 spot from D'Ernest Johnson. Chris Godwin returns to the lineup, bumping Jaylen Waddle down to the flex, and the Comets brought back Corey Davis for depth, dropping Devontae Booker. The Comets also make a change at defense, starting the Buccaneers over the Bills, as the former has an easier matchup against the Giants, while the latter takes on the Colts.
UPDATE: The Comets will take a chance on rookie Rhamondre Stevenson, dropping Devin Singletary to add him, and starting Stevenson as their RB2 over Zack Moss.

Tug of War
Current Record: (4-6, 6th Place)
Injuries continue to be the biggest obstacle for Tug of War, as while the team is expected to get Saquon Barkley back, they lost Aaron Jones last week in a 60+ point blowout defeat at the hands of Rare Woofs. Barkley and Jones switch places in the starting lineup, while Tug of War drops the Bears defense to add the Dolphins, who start over the Packers. Tug of War will need to monitor the health of Eli Mitchell, who remains in the starting lineup for now, though the finger fracture he picked up in Monday night's game might knock him out for this week.
UPDATE: With Eli Mitchell doubtful and Amari Cooper on the COVID list, Tug of War rapidly reconfigures their starting lineup. Tee Higgins and Jarvis Landry are now starting, with Cole Beasley moving to the bench. Cooper has gone into the reserve, and Tug of War added and will now be starting Jeff Wilson.
UPDATE: With Marquise Brown ruled out, Tug of War will start Cole Beasley in his place.

Leaping Girl
Current Record: (4-6, 5th Place)
Leaping Girl has now lost three straight games, but on the plus side, she could get back Kyler Murray, DeAndre Hopkins, and Alvin Kamara this week, provided a much needed jolt to her lineup. As of now, Hopkins is the only member of that trio to be listed as a starter, though the other two may make their way in if they prove their health. On the waiver wire, Emma made a stash play, dropping Deonte Harris to add D'Onta Foreman, in the hopes that he may take over the Titans backfield.
UPDATE: With DeAndre Hopkins ruled out, Leaping Girl will start Michael Gallup, who was added for Courtland Sutton.
UPDATE: Leaping Girl will start Dallas Goedert over T.J. Hockenson, and Rashod Bateman over Michael Gallup.

Bark Force
Current Record: (5-5, 4th Place)
The losing ways have continued for Bark Force, as the once-unassailable titans of the league dropped their fourth straight last week, as Rascal scored big by bringing Mark Ingram and AJ Dillon off the waiver wire to pick up a short-handed victory. Bark Force loses Darrell Henderson to his bye week, as they will list James Robinson as their RB1 in his place, and they will also start rookie tight end Pat Freiermuth after one week on the bench. Bark Force makes one waiver move, dropping Marvin Jones to add Brandon Aiyuk, a speculative play on the off chance that Deebo Samuel is limited or out this week.
UPDATE: Bark Force has dropped Brandon Aiyuk to add Adrian Peterson for depth, and have dropped Sterling Shepard to add Kadarius Toney, who starts in the flex over Kenyan Drake.
UPDATE: With Lamar Jackson ruled out, Aaron Rodgers gets the start for Bark Force this week.

Tailwaggerz
Current Record: (6-4, 3rd Place)
It has been the Cooper Kupp show all year for Tailwaggerz, which adds plenty of intrigue to their performance this week, with Kupp on bye. Adam Thielen takes Kupp's spot in the lineup, although Antonio Brown may have a good shot to start if he can shake off his ankle injury. Tailwaggerz made one waiver move, dropping C.J. Uzomah to bring back Dawson Knox as their backup tight end.

Rare Woofs
Current Record: (7-3, 2nd Place)
The rich get richer, as not only did Rare Woofs post 188 points in a big win over Tug of War in Week 10, they now get back David Montgomery from bye, turning their starting lineup from ultra dangerous to absolutely terrifying. To bolster the ranks, Rare Woofs also brought in a new backup running back, dropping Khalil Herbert to add David Johnson, as he joins Chuba Hubbard, Tyler Lockett, D.J. Moore, Joe Burrow, and Noah Fant on the stacked Rare Woofs bench.

Ridiculous Rascals
Current Record: (8-2, 1st Place)
Rascal's winning streak reached seven in Week 10, as his team looks nigh on unstoppable, welcoming back Joe Mixon, Ja'Marr Chase, and Brandin Cooks from their bye weeks, in addition to getting another new star in A.J. Dillon, who has the potential to be one of the best running backs in fantasy this week with Aaron Jones likely to be out. Rascal is strong everywhere except for quarterback, where Russell Wilson and Carson Wentz would both be going against stingy defenses. With that in mind, Rascal gambled on the waiver wire once again, dropping Wentz to add rookie Mac Jones, who is the starter for right now (Cam Newton is also under consideration). Rascal also dropped the disappointing Van Jefferson to add J.D. McKissic, who joins Mark Ingram as part of the backup running back brigade with Kareem Hunt and Chase Edmonds still on IR.
UPDATE: Rascal has switched quarterbacks, dropping Jones to add Cam Newton, who will likely end up starting over Russell Wilson.
