I don't normally do update posts in the Preseason, but there's been enough happening in the Dog League to necessitate this post, especially yesterday. Let's begin. (Reminder: the Dog League is a custom fantasy football league run on NFL.com)
Rule Changes
First off, I've removed the rule that any fumble forced would be a +1 to the DEF and a -1 to the offensive player. I think it was a good idea in theory, but having watched a lot of game highlights lately, there are so many fumbles in each game that it would be too overpowered.
Tug of War
First for roster changes is Tug of War, who unexpectedly lost starting QB Andrew Luck to an early retirement. They'll activate Option C to bring in Jacoby Brissett, who will back-up new starting QB Philip Rivers.
Bark Force
Not as big of news but still noteworthy as Bark Force lost bench RB Lamar Miller to what will likely be a season ending injury. They also activate Option C, acquiring Duke Johnson to sit on the bench.
Leaping Girl
Finally we have Leaping Girl, who deals with the most catastrophic situation in the holdout of star RB Melvin Gordon. He may still return, but she prepares for the possibility that he will not, dropping Miles Sanders to add Justin Jackson. Though Austin Ekeler will likely be the better performer to start the year, she's gambling the Jackson is the better option long term. If Gordon does miss Week 1, Leaping Girl will start Phillip Lindsay in his stead.
