With just three games left in the year, Bark Force looks to finally beat Rare Woofs while Tug of War and Leaping Girl put winning streaks on the line. (Reminder: the Dog League is a custom fantasy football league run on NFL.com)
Ridiculous Rascals
Current Record: (3-8, 6th place)
With injuries ravaging his team, Rascal completes a slight overhaul of his roster this week. Gone are Jordan Howard, Marlon Mack and Sammy Watkins, and in comes Jaylen Samuels, Jarvis Landry and Calvin Ridley. Samuels starts in place of the injured James Conner, while Landry takes the flex spot from Joe Mixon, who faces a tough matchup against Rascal's own defense, the Pittsburgh Steelers. Rascal does also make a difficult decision, returning Aaron Rodgers to start over Jimmy Garoppolo, who was great last week. Considering the two men will face each other on Sunday night, Rascal does still have time to reconsider that decision if he so wishes.
UPDATE: Rascal will turn to Calvin Ridley for the start this week over Courtland Sutton, as both Falcons receivers will get the opportunity to burn the horrible Buccaneers secondary.

Bark Force
Current Record: (3-8, 5th place)
Week 12 will be tough on Bark Force, with Patrick Mahomes, Stefon Diggs and Hunter Henry all on bye. They bring in Matt Ryan to start at quarterback, Tyler Lockett returns from bye to replace Diggs and Greg Olsen returns to the starting lineup after an extended absence. Aaron Jones also returns this week, which sends D.J. Moore to the bench. Speaking of the bench, Bark Force have continued to hold onto A.J. Green. It certainly seems like Green will not play much of a role this year, but it can now be announced that the Dog League will switch to keepers next year, meaning every team will keep their roster from the end of the year with no new draft. Because of that, Bark Force will still hold onto Green, under the hope that he might get healthy and find a new home in the offseason, making the stash play worthwhile.

Tug of War
Current Record: (5-6, 4th place)
Saquon Barkley and Derrick Henry return this week, sending Melvin Gordon and Leonard Fournette to the bench. Tug of War could consider starting Fournette over the struggling Cooper Kupp, but elect not to as Kupp will hopefully rebound on Monday night against the Ravens. They do start Drew Brees over Dak Prescott, as Prescott faces a tough game in New England, and make a great move on the waiver wire, stashing Austin Hooper on their bench. With Zach Ertz firmly entrenched as the starter, getting a backup the caliber of Hooper could be fantastic.

Tailwaggerz
Current Record: (5-6, 3rd place)
Tailwaggerz bid farewell to David Johnson and Damien Williams this week, as they bring in two new backup running backs in James White and Miles Sanders. They also drop Tyler Boyd to bring in John Brown, who gets the start with Tyreek Hill on bye and T.Y. Hilton questionable. Chris Carson takes the flex spot from Michael Gallup, while Jared Cook stays the starting tight end for now with Evan Engram likely not playing this week. Finally, the unheralded Matt Gay gets the start at kicker with Harrison Butker on bye, and they'll stream the Raiders defense against the Jets.

Leaping Girl
Current Record: (8-3, 2nd place)
The George Kittle situation continues to be an issue, especially with the 49ers playing on Sunday night this week. She lists him as a starter, but does drop Jason Witten to bring in Jacob Hollister as a potential backup. With Austin Ekeler and Keenan Allen on bye, Mark Ingram and D.J. Chark return to her starting lineup, while the Vikings defense were dropped for Matt Prater, who fills in for Zane Gonzalez. Also just to note, she will stick with Lamar Jackson as the starter this week, especially with a big chance for points on Monday night.

Rare Woofs
Current Record: (9-2, 1st place)
With Tom Brady struggling, Rare Woofs bring back Jameis Winston to start this week, dropping Carson Wentz. They also lose Dalvin Cook to his bye week, but do get back Davante Adams, who takes the flex spot. With Travis Kelce also on bye, the trade they made last week pays off, as Mark Andrews will get the start. Finally, they bring in a new backup receiver in Jamison Crowder, as JuJu Smith-Schuster is dropped.
