Welcome back to the Dog League. I rejoin you once more to run through the roster changes and starting line-ups heading into Week 2 of the season. (Reminder: the Dog League is a custom fantasy football league run on NFL.com)
Tailwaggerz
We open things up with Tailwaggerz, who are currently last place thanks to their horrid Week 1 performance. Changes were afoot, as Stefon Diggs and the Baltimore Ravens defense were added off the waiver wire, in exchange for the injured Allen Robinson and the Texans defense. Mike Evans re-entered the starting line-up after his first week bye, while Seahawks Doug Baldwin and Jimmy Graham will get starting roles as well, thanks to a match-up at home against the 49ers.
Week 2 Starting Line-Up(vs Ridiculous Rascals)
QB Tom Brady
RB Le'Veon Bell
RB Jordan Howard
WR Jordy Nelson
WR Mike Evans
TE Jimmy Graham
WR Doug Baldwin
K Stephen Gostkowski
DEF Baltimore Ravens
Leaping Girl
Leaping Girl had the biggest decision to make, with star running back David Johnson now on injured reserve. Emma made an interesting choice, keeping Johnson on her team and not activating Option C, as he is still expected to be back this season. Rookie Dalvin Cook took Johnson's spot in the starting line-up, while Delanie Walker subbed in for a struggling Jordan Reed. Dez Bryant's tough match-up on the road in Denver gave DeAndre Hopkins the start on Thursday night.
Week 2 Starting Line-Up(vs Tug of War)
QB Drew Brees
RB LeSean McCoy
RB DeMarco Murray
WR DeAndre Hopkins
WR Amari Cooper
TE Delanie Walker
RB Dalvin Cook
K Justin Tucker
DEF Seattle Seahawks
Ridiculous Rascals
Rascal was busy before Week 2, making three waiver moves. He dropped the injured Andrew Luck to acquire and start Derek Carr, who has a good match-up against the Jets. With Odell Beckham's health in question, Rascal picked up another starter in the form of Tyreek Hill. His third addition and third new starter is the Arizona Cardinals defense, who have a good match-up in the struggling Colts, dropping the Broncos defense in the process. As of now, Jay Ajayi has been left on the bench, although he and Melvin Gordon could switch places. Odell Beckham also remains on the bench, but will start ahead of Brandin Cooks in he's ready to take the field.
Week 2 Starting Line-Up(vs Tailwaggerz)
QB Derek Carr
RB Melvin Gordon
RB Ezekiel Elliott
WR Brandin Cooks
WR Tyreek Hill
TE Rob Gronkowski
RB Marshawn Lynch
K Matt Bryant
DEF Arizona Cardinals
Tug of War
The league leaders showed off their impressive depth in Week 1, with their bench nearly matching the starting line-up in terms of production. With that in mind, there were no moves this week from Tug of War. They did bring their two rookie running backs, Kareem Hunt and Leonard Fournette, into the starting line-up, in place of Devonta Freeman and A.J. Green respectively.
Week 2 Starting Line-Up(vs Leaping Girl)
QB Matt Ryan
RB Todd Gurley
RB Kareem Hunt
WR Julio Jones
WR Antonio Brown
TE Travis Kelce
RB Leonard Fournette
K Dan Bailey
DEF Kansas City Chiefs
