Week 5 of the Dog League is about to get underway, and with plenty of injuries and bye weeks to go around, it could be a very interesting week. (Reminder: the Dog League is a custom fantasy football league run on NFL.com)
Leaping Girl
To start off, Emma had a big decision to make, with running back Dalvin Cook out for the season. She activated Option C, bringing in Latavius Murray as his replacement. With Drew Brees out on bye this week, she also brought in rookie quarterback Deshaun Watson, who will make his first Dog League appearance on Sunday Night. DeMarco Murray also moves up in the world, as he returns to the starting line-up in place of the banged up Ty Montgomery. T.Y. Hilton will also start this week, as he has a favorable match-up against the 49ers.
Week 5 Starting Line-Up(vs Tug of War)
QB Deshaun Watson
RB LeSean McCoy
RB DeMarco Murray
WR Dez Bryant
WR DeAndre Hopkins
TE Delanie Walker
WR T.Y. Hilton
K Justin Tucker
DEF Seattle Seahawks
Tailwaggerz
With Michael Thomas and C.J. Anderson on bye this week, moves were in store for Tailwaggerz. Mike Evans and Lamar Miller both re-joined the starting line-up, as Jordan Howard is once more left on the bench. The Jaguars defense, with a rough week in store against the Steelers, were outed in favor of the Ravens defense, who go up against a Raiders team missing Derek Carr. In a minor move, struggling tight end Coby Fleener was dropped in favor of Frank Gore.
Week 5 Starting Line-Up(vs Ridiculous Rascals)
QB Tom Brady
RB Lamar Miller
RB Le'Veon Bell
WR Jordy Nelson
WR Mike Evans
TE Zach Ertz
WR Stefon Diggs
K Stephen Gostkowski
DEF Baltimore Ravens
Ridiculous Rascals
The talent level is most certainly there for the Ridiculous Rascals, it's just a matter of getting the players to perform at their best. With that in mind, there were no line-up changes this week, although there were two waiver moves made. Injured quarterback Derek Carr makes his leave, with Rascal getting a hell of a talent back in the form of Russell Wilson. With concerns circulating about the health of Rob Gronkowski, another Raiders player was dropped, this time Michael Crabtree, in exchange for Charles Clay. Finally, with Matt Bryant out on bye, Kai Forbath was brought in to fill the kicker spot on Monday Night.
EDIT: with the news that Rob Gronkowski is likely out tonight against the Buccaneers, Clay will take his spot in the line-up.

Tug of War
There have to be some concerns in the Tug of War camp this week, coming off of their first loss against the Tailwaggerz. While we will have to wait for the weekend to see how it all turns out, if Tug of War is to rebound, they will be forced to do it without wide receiver Julio Jones. In his place comes A.J. Green, who may have a poor match-up against the Bills, but has played well this year. The Chiefs defense, beyond the occasional wild late game touchdown, are not really putting up great numbers, and were dropped for the Vikings defense, who will look to beat up rookie quarterback Mitchell Trubisky and the Chicago Bears on Monday Night.
