It's Week 2 of the Dog League, as all six teams get their first crack at proper team management. The games may not have taken on an increased importance yet, but if any team can establish a true starting line-up with reliable high scorers, they may have a big advantage for the rest of the year.

Tailwaggerz
Current Record: (0-1, 6th place)
Coming off of a loss and starting the season in dead last forced some moves out of Tailwaggerz this week, as they first acquired Cooper Kupp, dropping Pierre Garcon. With receiver Davante Adams held out of practice, they'll now have an extra weapon in reserve. For the starters, the injured Greg Olsen was offloaded for Jared Cook, coming off of an impressive performance in Week 1. And with Rex Burkhead dealing with concussion issues, Tailwaggerz will stack up talent at running back, adding James Conner off the waiver wire.

Leaping Girl
Current Record: (0-1, 5th place)
With league leaders Tug of War as their next opponent, Leaping Girl also made a few moves. She brought Adam Thielen into her starting line-up to replace Marvin Jones. In the waivers, two moves were made, as Marlon Mack was dropped for Peyton Barber and veteran QBs were swapped, Ben Roethlisberger out and Philip Rivers in.

Rare Woofs
Current Record: (0-1, 4th place)
Nothing major for Rare Woofs this week, as their only concern is to the health of starter Leonard Fournette. They offloaded Ronald Jones to acquire Isaiah Crowell, who will start the week on the bench, but may be a starter by Sunday if Fournette's status is in doubt.
UPDATE: With Fournette a game-time decision in the later time slot, Rare Woofs will start Chris Thompson this week, who has a good match-up against the Colts.

Ridiculous Rascals
Current Record: (1-0, 3rd place)
For the Ridiculous Rascals, the Jimmy Graham experiment is already over, as he was dropped for reliable vet Benjamin Watson. Watson will be joined by his quarterback, Drew Brees, who takes over for the potentially injured Aaron Rodgers. The flex spot this week goes to Joe Mixon, replacing Christian McCaffrey, as he looks to replicate an impressive Week 1 performance tomorrow night against the Ravens.

Bark Force
Current Record: (1-0, 2nd place)
With fellow expansion team Rare Woofs in their sights, Bark Force still have a running back issue to solve. Rashaad Penny was dropped for surprise Week 1 star Adrian Peterson, who will get the start over Royce Freeman. How that works out will be anyone's guess. Also, on the bench, Matt Ryan was dropped for his poor first performance, as Bark Force added some youth in Patrick Mahomes.

Tug of War
Current Record: (1-0, 1st place)
Another week, another win for Tug of War, as the team has begun it's campaign for a three peat on an extremely positive note. Only one move this week, as they dropped the injured Doug Baldwin for second year receiver Kenny Golladay, who looked good against the Jets. With the team choosing to keep Matthew Stafford as a backup despite his struggles, he could form a good partnership with Golladay in the future.
