Leaping Girl and Rare Woofs look to keep their winning streaks alive in Week 3. (Reminder: the Dog League is a custom fantasy football league run on NFL.com)
Bark Force
Current Record: (0-2, 6th place)
Bark Force open the week by handing out a starting job to Aaron Jones, who was magnificent last week(25 points) as he starts over Matt Breida. They drop O.J. Howard to acquire Greg Olsen, who starts over Delanie Walker, and drop the Panthers defense to pick up the Cowboys, who start with an excellent match-up against the hapless Dolphins. Finally, Duke Johnson was dropped for Peyton Barber, who has solidified the lead role in Tampa Bay and the largely underwhelming Stefon Diggs was dropped for rookie Terry McLaurin.

Tug of War
Current Record: (0-2, 5th place)
Two tough losses to begin the year have forced Tug of War to make a quarterback change, and it's a big one, as Jacoby Brissett is dropped for Dak Prescott, who starts this week over Philip Rivers. They also drop DeSean Jackson to pick up Emmanuel Sanders, who starts in the flex spot over Damien Williams, who was dropped for D.J. Chark, and start the Vikings defense over the Texans, as they get set to host the Raiders. Finally, Robert Woods was dropped for John Brown, who has been the beneficiary of a good start to the year from Josh Allen.

Tailwaggerz
Current Record: (1-1, 4th place)
After such an amazing start to the year with a 200 point performance against Tug of War, Tailwaggerz came back to Earth, failing to even reach triple digits last week. They get a new backup quarterback going forward, as the injured Drew Brees was dropped for exciting rookie Kyler Murray, while they start Sony Michel over Josh Jacobs, as Michel faces the Jets in a game that could get him a lot of rushing volume. The injured A.J. Green was let go, as Tailwaggerz brings in veteran Larry Fitzgerald. They also drop Austin Hooper for Jason Witten and pick up the Packers defense for the Bills, as they face Joe Flacco and the Broncos.
UPDATE: With T.Y. Hilton questionable and in a poor matchup against the Falcons, Tailwaggerz will start Larry Fitzgerald this week, as he face a Panthers team that could struggle mightily without Cam Newton.

RB Alvin Kamara

WR Odell Beckham
TE Evan Engram
RB Sony Michel
K Harrison Butker
DEF Green Bay Packers
Ridiculous Rascals
Current Record: (1-1, 3rd place)
With a solid, healthy roster in place, there were no big moves to be made for Rascal this week. He got a new backup tight end, dropping T.J. Hockenson to pick up Darren Waller, and brought in not one but two new kickers. Previous starter Ka'imi Fairbairn was dropped for Brett Maher, and the Eagles defense was dropped for Bears kicker Eddy Pineiro, though it will be Maher who gets the start this week against the Dolphins. Rascal also brought in a new backup running back, dropping Leonard Fournette to pick up Raheem Mostert.

Rare Woofs
Current Record: (2-0, 2nd place)
Rare Woofs get entangled with the Carolina Panthers in their Week 3 moves, as they drop Cam Newton to pick up Jimmy Garoppolo and D.J. Moore is let go in favor of Demarcus Robinson. One Panthers player does come in, as kicker Joey Slye was added for the Chargers defense, as Rare Woofs want insurance for starter Wil Lutz in case the Saints' offense struggled under new quarterback Teddy Bridgewater. They do make one lineup change, as Julian Edelman gives up his flex spot to Kenny Golladay, who comes off a magnificent game(25.7 points). They also drop Devin Singletary, who is struggling with a hamstring injury, to add the red hot John Ross. Finally, with backup tight end David Njoku in concussion protocol, they drop Njoku to add Hunter Henry, as they attempt to stash Henry while he remains out injured.

Leaping Girl
Current Record: (2-0, 1st place)
With two wins in a row to start the year, Leaping Girl faced a big choice at quarterback this week, and made an aggressive move. She benches starter Russell Wilson, and starts Lamar Jackson, as he goes into one of the biggest games of the week against the Chiefs. With limited options available, she also picks up a new running back in the ageless Frank Gore, dropping Devonta Freeman and moving Gore into the starting lineup over Mark Ingram.
UPDATE: With Antonio Brown now released by the Patriots, Emma will start Chris Godwin this week, as she feels that going against the Giants, both Buccaneers receivers have a good chance for a big game. She also has decided to let Brown go for a second time, bringing back Josh Gordon.
