The Dog League: Week 14 Preview (2021 Season)

Rascal finally fell in Week 13, setting him up for a showdown over first place, while the final playoff spot is up for grabs in a five-way tie. 




Tug of War

Current Record: (5-8, 8th Place)

Week 13 was kind to Tug of War, who were bolstered by Tom Brady, Tee Higgins, and George Kittle, posting 174 points in a cakewalk win over Bark Force. They make one waiver move, adding D'Onta Foreman for insurance and dropping J.D. McKissic, and bring Aaron Jones and the Packers defense into their starting lineup. 

UPDATE: With Eli Mitchell ruled out, Tug of War will start D'Onta Foreman in the flex. 

Week 14 Starting Lineup (vs Growlers)

QB Tom Brady
RB Saquon Barkley
RB Aaron Jones
WR Marquise Brown
WR Amari Cooper
WR Tee Higgins
TE George Kittle
RB D'Onta Foreman
K Tyler Bass
DEF Green Bay Packers


Growlers

Current Record: (5-8, 7th Place)

The emergence of Javonte Williams carried Growlers to a critical win over Tailwaggerz, keeping them in the hunt long after many may have counted them out. This week, though, they bring back Cordarrelle Patterson over Williams, under the expectation that Melvin Gordon will return, and re-make their receiving corps, dropping DeVante Parker to add Cole Beasley, and starting Beasley alongside Elijah Moore and Mike Williams. 

UPDATE: Mike Williams has now landed in the reserve, leading to Growlers adding Sterling Shepard, whom they hope can play this week. In the meantime, Brandon Aiyuk takes the open starting spot. 

UPDATE: With Dalvin Cook cleared, Growlers will no longer start Alexander Mattison, instead giving that spot to last week's standout, Javonte Williams. 

UPDATE: A busy week for Growlers hopefully concludes, as they place Elijah Moore in the reserve, activating and starting Mike Williams. 

Week 14 Starting Lineup (vs Tug of War)

QB Josh Allen
RB Austin Ekeler
RB Cordarrelle Patterson
WR Mike Williams
WR Brandon Aiyuk
WR Cole Beasley
TE Dalton Schultz
RB Javonte Williams
K Greg Zuerlein
DEF New Orleans Saints


Bark Force

Current Record: (5-8, 6th Place)

There may not be any saving Bark Force at this point, as the once dominant roster has now lost its seventh consecutive game, putting up just 87 points in defeat. They make wholesale changes, as they get back Davante Adams, and hope to have Darrell Henderson available, while Tony Pollard takes the flex spot, and they drop Logan Thomas to add Tyler Conklin, who starts at tight end. Bark Force did get a contingency plan for Henderson, dropping Kendrick Bourne to add Sony Michel. 

UPDATE: Bark Force replaces Darrel Henderson with Sony Michel after Henderson's placement on the COVID list, putting him in the reserve to add Jeff Wilson, who starts in the flex. 

Week 14 Starting Lineup (vs Leaping Girl)

QB Lamar Jackson
RB James Robinson
RB Sony Michel
WR Davante Adams
WR CeeDee Lamb
WR Odell Beckham Jr.
TE Tyler Conklin
RB Jeff Wilson
K Daniel Carlson
DEF Denver Broncos


Leaping Girl

Current Record: (5-8, 5th Place)

Emma accomplished what many might have thought impossible, ending Rascal's nine-game winning streak, and setting herself up in prime position to contend for a playoff spot, if Alvin Kamara and D'Andre Swift can get healthy. For right now, she leaves both guys out of her lineup, and adds Russell Gage, dropping Rashod Bateman, to start at WR3 with Michael Pittman on bye. She'll stream the Seahawks defense this week, dropping the Steelers to get them. 

UPDATE: Jamaal Williams is now on Emma's reserve after testing positive for COVID, resulting in Alvin Kamara re-joining her starting lineup, while the open roster spot is taken by Jared Cook, who is called into action to start at tight end. 

Week 14 Starting Lineup (vs Bark Force)

QB Kyler Murray
RB Alvin Kamara
RB Josh Jacobs
WR DeAndre Hopkins
WR Mike Evans
WR Russell Gage
TE Jared Cook
RB Ezekiel Elliott
K Ryan Succop
DEF Seattle Seahawks


Canine Comets

Current Record: (5-8, 4th Place)

The Comets fought valiantly, but 153 points weren't enough to knock off Rare Woofs in Week 13, ending their four-game winning streak. For this week, they activate Julio Jones off their reserve, dropping Dontrell Hilliard, and bring Nick Chubb into the starting lineup to replace Jaylen Waddle, who is on bye. 

Week 14 Starting Lineup (vs Tailwaggerz)

QB Patrick Mahomes
RB Nick Chubb
RB Clyde Edwards-Helaire
WR Diontae Johnson
WR Chris Godwin
WR DK Metcalf
TE Travis Kelce
RB Devonta Freeman
K Robbie Gould
DEF Buffalo Bills


Tailwaggerz

Current Record: (7-6, 3rd Place)

Week 13 turned into a disaster for Tailwaggerz, as they lost to Growlers, saw Adam Thielen go down to injury, and now might be missing out on Keenan Allen due to COVID. They place Allen in the reserve, adding Jalen Guyton to hold his roster spot, while Van Jefferson heads into the starting lineup. Thielen's spot is replaced by James Conner, while Nick Folk, on bye, is replaced by Greg Joseph. 

UPDATE: Tailwaggerz will start Dalvin Cook on his return, benching James Conner. 

Week 14 Starting Lineup (vs Canine Comets)

QB Dak Prescott
RB Najee Harris
RB Dalvin Cook
WR Cooper Kupp
WR Terry McLaurin
WR Van Jefferson
TE Kyle Pitts
RB Antonio Gibson
K Greg Joseph
DEF Arizona Cardinals


Rare Woofs

Current Record: (10-3, 2nd Place)

With six wins on the bounce, Rare Woofs are likely to be the favorites heading into their clash with Rascal, and they get even stronger, as Chuba Hubbard takes the flex spot from Matt Breida, who was dropped for Dontrell Hilliard. 

UPDATE: Deebo Samuel has returned, starting over Tyler Lockett. 

Week 14 Starting Lineup (vs Ridiculous Rascals)

QB Justin Herbert
RB Leonard Fournette
RB David Montgomery
WR Justin Jefferson
WR Stefon Diggs
WR Deebo Samuel
TE Mark Andrews
RB Chuba Hubbard
K Chris Boswell
DEF Dallas Cowboys


Ridiculous Rascals

Current Record: (10-3, 1st Place)

Rascal's winning streak ending is the least of his troubles, as he now has to defend his top spot without Jonathan Taylor, the highest scoring running back in fantasy. Rascal benches Taylor and Mark Ingram for A.J. Dillon and Kareem Hunt, and brings in Russell Wilson to start with Carson Wentz on bye. Rascal also re-acquires the 49ers defense, and will start them over the Rams. 

UPDATE: Mark Ingram's positive COVID test has landed him on the reserve for Rascal, who brings in Samaje Perine as insurance for Joe Mixon. 

Week 14 Starting Lineup (vs Rare Woofs)

QB Russell Wilson
RB Joe Mixon
RB A.J. Dillon
WR Tyreek Hill
WR Ja'Marr Chase
WR Hunter Renfrow
TE Zach Ertz
RB Kareem Hunt
K Justin Tucker
DEF San Francisco 49ers

South Park "Not Funny" Review

Good night, amateur trolls that trolled a troll and trolled themselves into a troll, brothers. With one episode to go in the season, South Park has remained consistently funny and on-point with their humor, though I worry about how their going to wrap all of this up. There are a good six to seven ongoing storylines right now, and only one episode to finish off a few of them. There was no clear focus this week, but I'll start where the episode ended, with Gerald's troll-based storyline. It's pretty satisfying to see the Troll Hunter's massive revelation; that he is, in fact, just another troll, bent on world destruction. Even Gerald couldn't find the humor in his master plan, as the Troll Hunter is truly in a league of his own. With the world on the brink of war, the trolling has truly begun, as the Troll Hunter went to work on his own employees and the other trolls, though why they had to be naked for that is beyond me. Kyle is always a sucker for saving the ...
