Henry's World

With 2018 almost over and the New Year approaching, I decided it's time for another blog update. Today, I'm here to discuss everything related to my blog and what you expect in 2019. Enjoy! - First off, I again want to thank everyone who tuned in to my Dog League coverage over the past four months. Those posts generated a lot more traffic than last year, and I definitely felt a lot more comfortable the second time around. Plus, I also managed to avoid feeling any burn-out, which is the most important thing. Going forward, you can expect September-December to be dominated by the Dog League, though there may be a few other posts sprinkled in. I have already planned some changes for next year to keep things fresh so that no one, least of all me, gets bored. - Hey, American Dad is coming back! The show has been on hiatus since May, but new episodes will begin at the end of January, so get excited for that. I'll be bringing back my weekly reviews, and I'll have to ...

A new champion is crowned in Week 16 of the Dog League. (Reminder: the Dog League is a custom fantasy football league run on NFL.com) Fifth Place Game: #5   Tug of War(125.46) vs #6 Leaping Girl(97.84) ANALYSIS Deshaun Watson(36.46 points) led the way, as Tug of War waltzed to an easy win and the first pick in next year's draft. Struggling stars Alvin Kamara(22.5 points) and Zach Ertz(23 points) both delivered as well, providing more than enough secondary scoring. This is Leaping Girl's seventh consecutive playoff loss, with only Russell Wilson(28.54 points) scoring reasonably high. Now picking last in the 2019 Draft, the future is not bright for the perennial last place team. Third Place Game: #1 Ridiculous Rascals(136.64) vs #3 Bark Force(116.42) ANALYSIS Ridiculous Rascals recovered face by demolishing Bark Force, as Antonio Brown(30.5 points) delivered his biggest game of the season. However, it was the last minute addition of Kyle Rudolph(24.2 points)...

The Dog League Championship is at stake in Week 16, as Rare Woofs try to complete their Cinderella run against Tailwaggerz. (Reminder: the Dog League is a custom fantasy football league run on NFL.com) Leaping Girl (#6 Seed, Fifth Place Game) Leaping Girl has her third chance in as many years to avoid last place this week. She made one back-up move, dropping running back Jeff Wilson for his teammate Dante Pettis. Week 16 Starting Line-Up(vs Tug of War) QB Russell Wilson RB Ezekiel Elliott RB Nick Chubb WR DeAndre Hopkins WR Adam Thielen TE George Kittle WR Keenan Allen K Wil Lutz DEF Los Angeles Rams Tug of War (#5 Seed, Fifth Place Game) Eliminated from the playoffs for the first time, Tug of War seeks to avoid an embarrassing last place finish. They dropped Josh Gordon for Chris Hogan, and Chris Godwin for his teammate Peyton Barber. Marlon Mack returns to the line-up this week to replace Lamar Miller, as he has a better match-up against the Giants. We...

Bark Force implodes and Rascal makes history in Week 15 of the Dog League. (Reminder: the Dog League is a custom fantasy football league run on NFL.com) First Round: #2 Tailwaggerz(108.96) vs #3 Bark Force(64.42) ANALYSIS You could've predicted Tailwaggerz winning this game, but I don't think anyone could've seen this shocking performance from Bark Force coming. Aaron Jones(0.8 points) went out injured and Saquon Barkley(5.6 points) was completely held in check, with no other starters stepping up to carry the load. For Tailwaggerz, their pieced together running back corps delivered, as David Johnson(16.1 points), Damian Williams(24.3 points) and Jaylen Samuels(17.2 points) provided unexpected high scoring. Tailwaggerz have gotten through perhaps their toughest test, and advance to the championship to face... First Round: #1 Ridiculous Rascals(78.62) vs #4 Rare Woofs(85.98) ANALYSIS Rascal was a heavy favorite heading into this game, and this shocking lo...

The playoffs begin in Week 15 of the Dog League. (Reminder: the Dog League is a custom fantasy football league run on NFL.com) Leaping Girl With no game this week, Leaping Girl was restricted to only making injury substitutions. With Jordan Reed out this week with a toe injury, she added his replacement, Vernon Davis. Tug of War With no game this week, Tug of War was restricted to only making injury substitutions. No players are out injured, so no moves were made. Rare Woofs (#4 Seed) Andrew Luck returns to start for Rare Woofs this week, as Jameis Winston faces an extremely tough Ravens defense. Speaking of that defense, they'll stream them in this week, and they'll be joined by fellow new addition Justin Jackson. Jackson was added for Austin Ekeler, and is tentatively penciled in to start over Tarik Cohen. Week 15 Starting Line-Up(vs Ridiculous Rascals) QB Andrew Luck RB Todd Gurley RB Leonard Fournette WR Julian Edelman WR Michael Thomas TE Rob ...

Rascal gets the job done by the narrowest means possible in Week 14 of the Dog League. (Reminder: the Dog League is a custom fantasy football league run on NFL.com) Game 1: Tug of War(102.78) vs Ridiculous Rascals(103.64) ANALYSIS Rascal pulls out a nail-biter to win his first Regular Season Championship, as running backs Christian McCaffrey(22.1 points) and Joe Mixon(19.8 points) led the way. Antonio Brown(3.5 points) massively under performed, nearly blowing the game for Rascal. For Tug of War, Julio Jones(22.6 points) and the Bears defense(20 points) came to play, but Brandin Cooks(2.2 points) and Zach Ertz(3.8 points) did not, eliminating Tug of War from the playoffs. Game 2: Bark Force(130.48) vs Tailwaggerz(96.7) ANALYSIS Big games from Saquon Barkley(25.7 points) and JuJu Smith-Schuster(25 points) led Bark Force to an expected win, and a playoff spot. With Kareem Hunt and James Conner gone, Tailwaggerz would've hoped that David Johnson(6.1 points) would ...

It's the final week of the regular season in Week 14 of the Dog League. (Reminder: the Dog League is a custom fantasy football league run on NFL.com) Leaping Girl Current Record: (4-9, 6th place) With nothing to play for, Leaping Girl dropped two injured players for their replacements, Matt Breida for Jeff Wilson and Emmanuel Sanders for Courtland Sutton. She also made a change at backup quarterback, dropping Kirk Cousins to add Philip Rivers. Week 14 Starting Line-Up(vs Rare Woofs) QB Russell Wilson RB Ezekiel Elliott RB Nick Chubb WR DeAndre Hopkins WR Adam Thielen TE George Kittle WR Keenan Allen K Wil Lutz DEF Los Angeles Rams Bark Force Current Record: (6-7, 5th place) Bark Force needs a win and either a Rare Woofs or Tug of War loss to qualify for the playoffs. With a solid starting line-up, they made a change at defense, bringing in the Chargers who have a good match-up against the Bengals. UPDATE: With Odell Beckham ruled out, Stefon Diggs wi...

Leaping Girl fights for her life and Rascal chokes in Week 13 of the Dog League. (Reminder: the Dog League is a custom fantasy football league run on NFL.com) Game 1: Tug of War(69.74) vs Rare Woofs(86.42) ANALYSIS Ouch. Tug of War majorly lets down Phillip Lindsay(27.9 points) who had the game of his life without any help from the rest of the team. The two Falcons, Matt Ryan(7.64 points) and Julio Jones(1.8 points) majorly disappointed, and the early exit of A.J. Green(0.7 points) didn't help. The interesting duo of star running back Todd Gurley(28.5 points) and kicker Justin Tucker(14 points) led Rare Woofs to the win, and they have now all but clinched a playoff spot. Game 2: Tailwaggerz(122.1) vs Leaping Girl(118.3) ANALYSIS After losing Kareem Hunt on Friday, Tailwaggerz narrowly pulled out a win to put themselves in the driver's seat to claim the regular season championship. No player scored over 20 points, but Jared Cook(16 points) and the Texans def...

Tug of War faces Rare Woofs, with one team securing a playoff spot in Week 13 of the Dog League. (Reminder: the Dog League is a custom fantasy football league run on NFL.com) Leaping Girl Current Record: (4-8, 6th place) One more loss will eliminate Leaping Girl from the playoffs, making her the first team to miss the top 4 in Dog League history. This week, she exchanges LA defenses, dropping the Chargers to add the Rams. Week 13 Starting Line-Up(vs Tailwaggerz) QB Russell Wilson RB Ezekiel Elliott RB Nick Chubb WR DeAndre Hopkins WR Adam Thielen TE George Kittle WR Keenan Allen K Wil Lutz DEF Los Angeles Rams Bark Force Current Record: (5-7, 5th place) Bark Force will elect to not bring back Harrison Butker, moving forward with Stephen Gostkowski for the rest of the year as their starting kicker. Travis Kelce returns to start, as Jeff Heuerman is dropped for Eric Ebron, and Patrick Mahomes gets his starting job back from Tom Brady. JuJu Smith-Schuster is ...

Rascal proves his worth and Rare Woofs bring out the brooms in Week 12 of the Dog League. (Reminder: the Dog League is a fantasy football league run on NFL.com) Game 1: Tug of War(109.98) vs Leaping Girl(126.96) ANALYSIS Leaping Girl keeps her season alive, as the unlikely tandem of Ezekiel Elliott(20.3 points) and Nick Chubb(24.8 points) powered her to victory. With this win, Leaping Girl does still have a chance to make the playoffs, although she needs to win out and for other results to go her way. Tug of War didn't have a bad game, but other than Phillip Lindsay(17 points), there were no real highlights this week. Game 2: Ridiculous Rascals(124.94) vs Tailwaggerz(105.04) ANALYSIS It was an uneven game for Rascal, as Christian McCaffrey(35.7 points) and the Ravens defense(18 points) played well. On the other hand, Doug Baldwin(3.9 points), Antonio Brown(6.7 points) and Greg Olsen(1.1 points) all struggled mightily to get anything going, making this game far ...

Tailwaggerz faces Ridiculous Rascals, in a game that is not just first versus second, but carries even more importance. Tailwaggerz already owns the tiebreaker over Tug of War, and if they win this week, they'll also own the tiebreaker over Rascal. A win will put them 2 games up with 2 to play, meaning that winning this week will clinch Tailwaggerz the regular season championship. (Reminder: the Dog League is a custom fantasy football league run on NFL.com) Leaping Girl Current Record: (3-8, 6th place) With any chance to make the playoffs dwindling, Leaping Girl is now in must-win territory in every game. This week, she'll bring Nick Chubb, George Kittle and Keenan Allen back into her starters, sending Emmanuel Sanders to the bench. Eric Ebron was dropped for Jordan Reed, and she exchanged Ravens running backs, Alex Collins out for Gus Edwards. Week 12 Starting Line-Up(vs Tug of War) QB Russell Wilson RB Ezekiel Elliott RB Nick Chubb WR DeAndre Hopkins WR Ada...

Bark Force shows no mercy and Tailwaggerz rallies in Week 11 of the Dog League. (Reminder: the Dog League is a custom fantasy football league run on NFL.com) Game 1: Tug of War(98.84) vs Tailwaggerz(120.32) ANALYSIS Tailwaggerz left it late, but pulled out the win on Monday night, as Jared Goff(35.12 points), Kareem Hunt(17.1 points) and Greg Zuerlein(12 points) got the job done. It was an inconsistent day for the league's top team, as James Conner(4.9 points), Alshon Jeffery(3.3 points) and Trey Burton(0.9 points) all struggled. For Tug of War, the Eagles' real life disaster cost them big, as Carson Wentz(0.84 points) and Zach Ertz(1.5 points) gave them little in the way of production. Game 2: Ridiculous Rascals(144.42) vs Rare Woofs(94.8) ANALYSIS It's hard to compete with a team with two 30+ point scorers, as Rascal had this week with Drew Brees(30.52 points) and Tyreek Hill(33.5 points). Not much in terms of big scoring for Rare Woofs this week, as ...

It's first versus second in Week 11 of the Dog League, with only four games left. (Reminder: the Dog League is a custom fantasy football league run on NFL.com) Leaping Girl Current Record: (3-7, 6th place) Emma deals with more bye weeks in Week 11, as James White, George Kittle and Nick Chubb are unavailable. She'll bring in Eric Ebron to start at tight end, dropping Marquez Valdes-Scantling. Meanwhile, Alex Collins, DeAndre Hopkins, Adam Thielen and Emmanuel Sanders all get starting spots, and Leaping Girl will start the Chargers defense. Week 11 Starting Line-Up(vs Bark Force) QB Russell Wilson RB Ezekiel Elliott RB Alex Collins WR DeAndre Hopkins WR Adam Thielen TE Eric Ebron WR Emmanuel Sanders K Wil Lutz DEF Los Angeles Chargers Bark Force Current Record: (4-6, 5th place) Le'Veon Bell will not suit up at all this year for Bark Force, so first order of business was to drop the 2nd overall pick, as LeSean McCoy has found a new home. Mark Ing...

The Streak................................is over. (Reminder: the Dog League is a custom fantasy football league run on NFL.com) Game 1: Tug of War(130.8) vs Bark Force(116.56) ANALYSIS There were solid contributions at the top level for Tug of War this week, with Matt Ryan(20.5 points) and Alvin Kamara(22.2 points) doing exactly what was expected of them. What was not expected was the performance of Zach Ertz(26.5 points) who led the team in scoring, pouring it on on Sunday night to basically get the win. The star for Bark Force this week was Aaron Jones(29.2 points), but another poor performance from Mike Evans(5.1 points) is cause for concern. Game 2: Rare Woofs(119.54) vs Tailwaggerz(106.92) ANALYSIS In the end, the seven game winning streak of Tailwaggerz came to an end in underwhelming fashion, as Rare Woofs took the lead early and never wavered. The trio of Andrew Luck(21.2 points), Leonard Fournette(22.9 points) and Todd Gurley(22 points) led the surging R...

Rivalries are renewed in Week 10 of the Dog League. (Reminder: the Dog League is a custom fantasy football league run on NFL,com) Rare Woofs Current Record: (3-6, 6th place) With a big rematch upcoming against Tailwaggerz, Rare Woofs gets two big names back, as Andrew Luck and Leonard Fournette take the place of Mitchell Trubisky and Kenyan Drake, respectively. They also will bring back Tevin Coleman, dropping Isaiah Crowell. Coleman will immediately get his chance to start, sending Marvin Jones to the bench. Week 10 Starting Line-Up(vs Tailwaggerz) QB Andrew Luck RB Todd Gurley RB Leonard Fournette WR Julian Edelman WR Michael Thomas TE O.J. Howard RB Tevin Coleman K Stephen Gostkowski DEF Kansas City Chiefs Leaping Girl Current Record: (3-6, 5th place) With the entirety of her starting receiving corps on bye, Emma has been forced to get creative this week, and it has produced one of the strangest starting line-ups in Dog League history. Kerryon Johnson w...

Tug of War strikes back in Week 9 of the Dog League. (Reminder: the Dog League is a custom fantasy football league run on NFL.com) Game 1: Tug of War(142.3) vs Ridiculous Rascals(121.96) ANALYSIS The trio of Matt Ryan(28 points), Alvin Kamara(29.6 points) and the Bears defense(28 points) powered Tug of War to a decisive win this week, ending their four game losing streak and moving back into 2nd place. Rascal by no means had a poor game, with Christian McCaffrey (27.7 points) leading the way, but not much was going to be enough against Tug of War this week. Game 2: Tailwaggerz(125.78) vs Bark Force(81.8) ANALYSIS Another week, another win for a Tailwaggerz squad that is already one of the best in Dog League history. Cam Newton(21.18 points), Kareem Hunt(32.1 points) and James Conner(22.3 points) nearly won the game by themselves, as Bark Force was downright atrocious. At least a couple of the Chiefs players, Patrick Mahomes(26.8 points) and Travis Kelce(21.9 point...

Bark Force faces first place Tailwaggerz without Saquon Barkley and Odell Beckham in Week 9 of the Dog League. (Reminder: the Dog League is a custom fantasy football league run on NFL.com) Leaping Girl Current Record: (2-6, 6th place) A few moves for Emma this week, as Ezekiel Elliott returns, sending Kerryon Johnson to the bench. Two new additions get starting spots, as Jameis Winston was dropped for Russell Wilson, who starts over Kirk Cousins, while the Colts defense were let go for the Cowboys. Week 9 Starting Line-Up(vs Rare Woofs) QB Russell Wilson RB James White RB Ezekiel Elliott WR DeAndre Hopkins WR Adam Thielen TE George Kittle WR Emmanuel Sanders K Justin Tucker DEF Dallas Cowboys Rare Woofs Current Record: (3-5, 5th place) The big story this week for Rare Woofs is new starting quarterback Mitchell Trubisky, who was acquired last week in preparation for Andrew Luck going on bye. Another new starter is Marvin Jones, who was added for Tevin Colem...

Tailwaggerz nabs first and Tug of War can't catch a break 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(118.08) vs Rare Woofs(125.56) ANALYSIS Only two players bothered to show up on Sunday for Rare Woofs, as Andrew Luck(23.36 points) and Todd Gurley(27.5 points) kept the team in the game. On Monday night, the Patriots defense(20 points) delivered, bringing home the second win in a row for Rare Woofs. On the Tug of War side, only Dan Bailey(2 points) noticeably struggled, while Marlon Mack(26.9 points) led the way. Just a tough loss to take for Tug of War, who now drop into fourth place on a four game losing streak. Game 2: Leaping Girl(95.96) vs Tailwaggerz(128.2) ANALYSIS You can't understate the importance of James Conner(33.2 points) to this Tailwaggerz team. If/when Le'Veon Bell returns, they could be hard pressed to replace his production. DeAndre Hopkins(20.2 points) p...

Ridiculous Rascals and Bark Force attempt to rebound from losses in Week 8 of the Dog League. (Reminder: the Dog League is a custom fantasy football league run on NFL.com) Rare Woofs Current Record: (2-5, 6th place) With Andrew Luck going on bye next week, Rare Woofs dropped Allen Robinson for his quarterback, Mitchell Trubisky. They'll start Isaiah Crowell over Kenyan Drake this week, and will stream the Patriots defense, who has an incredible matchup against the Bills on Monday night. Week 8 Starting Line-Up(vs Tug of War) QB Andrew Luck RB Isaiah Crowell RB Todd Gurley WR Golden Tate WR Michael Thomas TE O.J. Howard WR Julian Edelman K Stephen Gostkowski DEF New England Patriots Leaping Girl Current Record: (2-5, 5th place) Leaping Girl must face the hottest team in the Dog League this week in Tailwaggerz, and she'll do so without star running back Ezekiel Elliott. In his place, James White will attempt to lead the way, while Emmanuel Sanders ge...

Tug of War continues to slide, Tailwaggerz flex their muscle and Rare Woofs finally gets the job done in Week 7 of the Dog League. (Reminder: the Dog League is a custom fantasy football league run on NFL.com) Game 1: Tug of War(110.36) vs Leaping Girl(126.84) ANALYSIS Leaping Girl nailed several personnel decisions this week. The decision to stream the Colts defense(19 points), sticking with John Brown(19.4 points) after a bad game and the decision to start Kerryon Johnson(17.9 points) over Matt Breida(-0.5 points). Tug of War meanwhile, really needs to offload to Jaguars defense(2 points). Other than that, it was a fine performance in a loss, with the highlight being Phillip Lindsay(15.6 points). Game 2: Tailwaggerz(120.58) vs Ridiculous Rascals(89.78) ANALYSIS Make it five in a row for Tailwaggerz, as they continue to ride one of the most impressive runs in Dog League history. Kareem Hunt(32.1 points) was the star, while new addition Alshon Jeffery(14.8 points) m...

First faces second while Bark Force looks for revenge. (Reminder: the Dog League is a custom fantasy football league run on NFL.com) Rare Woofs Current Record: (1-5, 6th place) The lone victory in Rare Woofs' existence came against fellow expansion team Bark Force in Week 2, and now they face them again, desperate to get out of last place. They'll have help from the returning Golden Tate and Michael Thomas, who send Calvin Ridley and Isaiah Crowell to the bench. Meanwhile, Leonard Fournette may be returning soon, so T.J. Yeldon has been dropped for Tevin Coleman, while Kenyan Drake gets the start. Rare Woofs will be streaming in the Chargers defense this week, as they drop the Bears unit. UPDATE: With Rob Gronkowski unlikely to play, Rare Woofs have dropped Russell Wilson to add O.J. Howard. Week 7 Starting Line-Up(vs Bark Force) QB Andrew Luck RB Todd Gurley RB Kenyan Drake WR Golden Tate WR Michael Thomas TE O.J. Howard WR Julian Edelman K Stephen Gost...

A new team takes first place as Tug of War's slide continues. (Reminder: the Dog League is a custom fantasy football league run on NFL.com) Game 1: Tug of War(85.36) vs Tailwaggerz(125.24) ANALYSIS It was a three headed attack for Tailwaggerz this week, as Kareem Hunt(24.5 points), Davante Adams(25.2 points) and James Conner(24.9 points) led the way in what ended up being an easy win. After starting out the year 0-2, Tailwaggerz has now won four in a row, getting into the top two places for the first time ever. Matt Ryan(27.46 points) was the lone bright spot for Tug of War, who has seen a two game losing streak send them into third place. Game 2: Rare Woofs(121.94) vs Ridiculous Rascals(133) ANALYSIS For the second week in a row, Rare Woofs pushed hard for the win, but for the second week in a row, they came up just short. Todd Gurley(34.5 points) continues to be one of the best performers in fantasy football, but even his incredible scoring hasn't been abl...

Tug of War attempts to rebound from a poor showing as they face third place Tailwaggerz. (Reminder: the Dog League is a custom fantasy football league run on NFL.com) Rare Woofs Current Record: (1-4, 6th place) With starting receivers Golden Tate and Michael Thomas on bye, Rare Woofs has made some changes this week. Calvin Ridley moves out of the flex spot, leaving it open for Isaiah Crowell, who had a great game last week. Back-up tight end Kyle Rudolph was dropped for Julian Edelman, who will immediately start, while the Titans defense were dropped for the Bears.

Yeldon RB Todd Gurley WR Julian Edelman WR Calvin Ridley TE Rob Gronkowski RB Isaiah Crowell K Stephen Gostkowski DEF Chicago Bears Leaping Girl Current Record: (1-4, 5th place) As the struggles continue for Leaping Girl, plenty of changes are coming yet again. At quarterback, Philip Rivers was dropped for Kirk Cousins, who st...

Tug of War struggles as Tailwaggerz and Rare Woofs duel it out in Week 5 of the Dog League. (Reminder: the Dog League is a custom fantasy football league run on NFL.com) Game 1: Tug of War(74.8) vs Bark Force(146.82) ANALYSIS The Giants finally came to play for Bark Force, as Saquon Barkley(24.9 points) and Odell Beckham(23.38 points) had their best games of the season. Add in Tom Brady(27.54 points), and you have one of the biggest wins in Dog League history, as Bark Force ends the winning streak of the league leaders and now looks to begin to climb up the standings. For Tug of War, only Zach Ertz(17 points) showed up this week. Poor games from Alvin Kamara(3.9 points) and Julio Jones(6.2 points), with an early exit from Brandin Cooks, mean the two time champs were held under 100 points once again. Game 2: Tailwaggerz(112.74) vs Rare Woofs(108) ANALYSIS In a game that included over 10 lead changes, Tailwaggerz get their third win of the season, largely thanks to t...

On August 18th, 2018, I officially ended Season Three of my Universe Mode with my second WrestleMania. In a blog update a few days later, I basically confirmed that the longest running series on Henry's World will continue, and that is still my plan. In January 2019, Henry's Universe Mode will enter Season Four with the second WWE Draft. However, at the start of each season, I always like to change things up to keep the series fresh, and I've got a few ideas that I'll share with you today. Let's get started. Henry's Universe Mode: Season 4 Plans - First off, this is a standard one, but it goes without saying that Season Four will be on WWE 2k19. I'm pretty excited about the new release, and 2k has added some nice new features this year that I likely will be using. Nothing huge; just a few tweaks here and there. - If you've looked at my wiki lately, you'll note that I've shifted away from using a real-life calendar. I found it to...

Leaping Girl faces Ridiculous Rascals in the Dog League's most tenured rivalry. (Reminder: the Dog League is a custom fantasy football league run on NFL.com) Rare Woofs Current Record: (1-3, 6th place) Now in last, Rare Woofs have made a change at quarterback, benching Russell Wilson in favor of Andrew Luck. With Leonard Fournette still struggling with injuries, they got T.J. Yeldon for Chris Thompson, starting him over Kenyan Drake, while in the flex spot, Calvin Ridley gets his first start. Finally, they will stream in the Titans defense this week, dropping the Packers. Week 5 Starting Line-Up(vs Tailwaggerz) QB Andrew Luck RB T.J. Yeldon RB Todd Gurley WR Golden Tate WR Michael Thomas TE Rob Gronkowski WR Calvin Ridley K Stephen Gostkowski DEF Tennessee Titans Bark Force Current Record: (1-3, 5th place) Bark Force has left more points on the bench than any other team in the league, and will look to rectify that this week. When in doubt, turn to the ...

Almost every team eclipses 100 points in a wild Week 4. (Reminder: the Dog League is a custom fantasy football league run on NFL.com) Game 1: Tug of War(148.76) vs Ridiculous Rascals(107.58) ANALYSIS Tug of War retakes first place, mostly thanks to the contributions of Alvin Kamara(36.1 points) and Matt Ryan(29.26 points). For the most part, it was a good game for their entire team, as almost everyone had their best game of the season. The one outlier was Jordan Howard(2.5 points), and his starting spot is now in jeopardy, coming off of his worst game and then going directly into a bye week. For Rascal, Drew Brees(8.58 points) failed to get anything going in a tough game against the Giants, limiting the team's performance. Ultimately, despite good scoring from Melvin Gordon(23.9 points) and Giovani Bernard(21.6 points), this just wasn't his week. Game 2: Bark Force(99.76) vs Tailwaggerz(155) ANALYSIS A huge game from Tailwaggerz moves them up into third pla...

A clash of the titans headlines Week 4 of the Dog League. (Reminder: the Dog League is a custom fantasy football league run on NFL.com) Leaping Girl Current Record: (0-3, 6th place) After three consecutive losses to start the season, Leaping Girl finds herself well behind the rest of the league, with not much left to lose. She'll experiment with her line-up this week, bringing in three new starters. Marvin Jones was dropped for Emmanuel Sanders, who takes Adam Thielen's spot in the swing role. The Vikings defense were dropped for the Seahawks, and with Jordan Reed on bye, the injured Evan Engram was dropped for Trey Burton. UPDATE: With Keenan Allen a game-time decision, Leaping Girl dropped Josh Gordon and added Mike Williams, who will go in if Allen is injured.

Week 3 of the Dog League saw a new team take first, a new one drop to last and the Minnesota Vikings nearly destroy everything. (Reminder: the Dog League is a custom fantasy football league run on NFL.com) Game 1: Tug of War(81.84) vs Rare Woofs(70.78) ANALYSIS The now former league leaders survived this week, as Kirk Cousins(10.04 points) and Dan Bailey(0 points) of the Vikings both did their best to cost their own team the game. No one was particularly outstanding for Tug of War, although Alvin Kamara(19 points) continued to play well. With rumors of a new starting quarterback, injuries on the bench and the loss of first place, the league's only champions are beginning to feel the pressure. On the Bark Force side, Chris Thompson(1.7 points) and Kenyan Drake(1 point) were noteworthy for their struggles, as the team failed to get anything going. They'll try to fix the running back situation next week, and they should be getting back Leonard Fournette. Game 2: Ta...

We open up Week 3 with a trade, as Bark Force trades Julio Jones to Tug of War for Saquon Barkley. This should help both teams' rosters, and fix some issues going forward. Since Barkley was a 2nd round pick, while Jones was a 3rd, both teams will swap waiver priority for this week, as Tug of War moves up to 3rd while Bark Force drops to last. (Reminder: the Dog League is a custom fantasy football league run on NFL.com) Tailwaggerz Current Record: (0-2, 6th place) With a talented roster that has struggled to produce, Tailwaggerz is in an interesting spot this week. They elected to stand pat, with no huge changes to their line-up, other than bringing in the hot Bears defense in exchange for the Eagles. If this team continues to lose games, you have to feel that big changes will be coming. UPDATE: With Dalvin Cook ruled out, James Conner will take his place this week. Week 3 Starting Line-Up(vs Leaping Girl) QB Cam Newton RB David Johnson RB Kareem Hunt WR T.Y. Hil...
