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: Tailwaggerz(102.9) vs Leaping Girl(94.2)
ANALYSIS
Cam Newton(29.6 points) led the way for Tailwaggerz this week, as they climbed out of last place with their first win this season. Leaping Girl's struggles continue, as she has now lost three consecutive games to start the year, and now sits well and truly behind the pack. Deshaun Watson(25 points) kept her in it, but it was the slow day for Keenan Allen(2.4 points) and the shocking performance of the Vikings defense(94.2 points) that proved to be the deciders.
Game 3: Bark Force(122.96) vs Ridiculous Rascals(137.74)
ANALYSIS
Bark Force gave it their all, but unfortunately ran into a nearly unbeatable juggernaut. Patrick Mahomes(25.26 points), Carlos Hyde(22.3 points) and Mike Evans (19.7 points) were all among the best in their positions, but it wasn't enough. Yet again, the Vikings played a role in this game, as Stefon Diggs(1.7 points) really cost his team, while Adrian Peterson(24 points) sat on the bench, with more than enough to earn Bark Force a victory. For the Ridiculous Rascals, the celebrations are on, as thanks to the low scoring of Tug of War, they will take first place for the first time this season. Drew Brees(40.54 points) put on a show, while Christian McCaffrey(19.4 points) took advantage of LeSean McCoy's absence to put his stamp on the starting job.
