The Dog League celebrates Thanksgiving this week, with the playoff picture beginning to clear as four more games remain on the regular season schedule.
Growlers
Current Record: (3-8, 8th Place)
Growlers had the misfortune of running into the Rascal buzzsaw last week, as 156 points was barely enough to prevent from losing by 50. This week, they start Elijah Moore, fresh off the biggest game in his rookie campaign, in their flex spot, while the return of Cordarrelle Patterson could get him the RB2 spot, currently held by Damien Harris. Growlers makes a change at defense, dropping the Browns to add the Bears, and brings in insurance for the banged-up A.J. Brown, dropping Emmanuel Sanders to add Nick Westbrook-Ikhine.
UPDATE: With A.J. Brown ruled out, Growlers will hope Cordarrelle Patterson can play this week, adding him to their lineup.
UPDATE: Brown has now gone to injured reserve, and Growlers used his roster spot to add Brandon Aiyuk, who starts over Damien Harris.
Week 11 Starting Lineup (vs Bark Force)
RB Austin Ekeler
RB Cordarrelle Patterson
WR Mike Williams
WR Darnell Mooney
WR Brandon Aiyuk
TE Dalton Schultz
WR Elijah Moore
K Greg Zuerlein
DEF Chicago Bears
Tug of War
Current Record: (4-7, 7th Place)
Tug of War was embarrassed in Week 11, putting up just 86 points, and losing yet another member of their cursed running back corps, as standout rookie Michael Carter went down. The good news, if there is any, is that Miles Sanders is back, and he takes the RB2 role this week, with Jeff Wilson getting dropped. Tug of War will hope to have Marquise Brown back, listing him as their WR1, and they also bring Chase Claypool into the starting lineup, sending Jarvis Landry to the bench. Tug of War also makes a change at defense, dropping the Dolphins to add the Eagles.
UPDATE: With Eli Mitchell expected to return today, Tug of War will start him, benching Chase Claypool. Michael Carter has gone to reserve, allowing the team to add J.D. McKissic.
Week 12 Starting Lineup (vs Ridiculous Rascals)
RB Saquon Barkley
RB Miles Sanders
WR Marquise Brown
WR Tee Higgins
WR Cole Beasley
TE George Kittle
RB Eli Mitchell
K Tyler Bass
DEF Green Bay Packers
Leaping Girl
Current Record: (4-7, 6th Place)
Buoyed by almost 70 combined points from Jalen Hurts and her Patriots defense, Leaping Girl also did the impossible, coming within a whisker of an upset win over Rare Woofs, falling at the final hurdle as Mike Evans and Ryan Succop came up 6 points short. With Kyler Murray, DeAndre Hopkins, and Alvin Kamara still sidelined, she makes no waiver moves this week, although she will start Michael Gallup and T.J. Hockenson over Rashod Bateman and Dallas Goedert.
Week 12 Starting Lineup (vs Canine Comets)
RB D'Andre Swift
RB Ezekiel Elliott
WR Mike Evans
WR Michael Pittman
WR Michael Gallup
TE T.J. Hockenson
RB Josh Jacobs
K Ryan Succop
DEF New England Patriots
Canine Comets
Current Record: (4-7, 5th Place)
Don't look now, but the Comets are starting to catch fire, with three consecutive wins after taking Tug of War behind the woodshed last week. For Week 12, they lose Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce to their bye week, forcing Ryan Tannehill and Rob Gronkowski into starting spots. The Comets add one of the hottest properties on the running back waiver wire, dropping Zack Moss to pick up Devonta Freeman, who starts as the RB2.
Week 12 Starting Lineup (vs Leaping Girl)
RB Nick Chubb
RB Devonta Freeman
WR Diontae Johnson
WR Chris Godwin
WR DK Metcalf
TE Rob Gronkowski
WR Jaylen Waddle
K Robbie Gould
DEF Buffalo Bills
Bark Force
Current Record: (5-6, 4th Place)
Bark Force came close, but took their fifth consecutive loss, this time by a margin of just 4 points to Tailwaggerz. They bring in some reinforcements this week, dropping Adrian Peterson and Kadarius Toney to add Tony Pollard and Odell Beckham Jr., though neither will start this week. Darrell Henderson returns to start after his bye week, while Logan Thomas gets a spot on the bench, sending Hunter Henry to the waiver wire.
UPDATE: Lamar Jackson will start at QB this week over Aaron Rodgers after practicing fully on Wednesday, while CeeDee Lamb, unable to clear concussion protocol, will be replaced by Odell Beckham.
Week 12 Starting Lineup (vs Growlers)
RB Darrell Henderson
RB James Robinson
WR Davante Adams
WR DeVonta Smith
WR Odell Beckham Jr.
TE Pat Freiermuth
RB Myles Gaskin
K Daniel Carlson
DEF Baltimore Ravens
Tailwaggerz
Current Record: (7-4, 3rd Place)
Even with a terrible game from starting quarterback Dak Prescott, Tailwaggerz edged out an important win over Bark Force in Week 11, as they now have a three-game cushion from the chasing pack for the final two playoff spots, likely making it a guarantee that they will contend for the league title. This week, they get back Cooper Kupp, but need a new kicker, as they drop Harrison Butker to add Nick Folk.
Week 12 Starting Lineup (vs Rare Woofs)
RB Dalvin Cook
RB Najee Harris
WR Cooper Kupp
WR Keenan Allen
WR Terry McLaurin
TE Kyle Pitts
WR Adam Thielen
K Nick Folk
DEF Indianapolis Colts
Rare Woofs
Current Record: (8-3, 2nd Place)
Rare Woofs faced an unexpectedly game Leaping Girl in Week 11, but still emerged victorious for their fourth straight win, as this team's lineup appears to be reaching peak production, and might be unstoppable. This week, they need a new kicker, so they dropped Matt Prater to add Chris Boswell.
Week 12 Starting Lineup (vs Tailwaggerz)
RB Christian McCaffrey
RB David Montgomery
WR Deebo Samuel
WR Justin Jefferson
WR Stefon Diggs
TE Mark Andrews
RB Leonard Fournette
K Chris Boswell
DEF Carolina Panthers
Ridiculous Rascals
Current Record: (9-4, 1st Place)
Rascal pushed his win streak up to eight, becoming the first team this year to score over 200 points, and discovering a new, or rather old, star in the process, as Cam Newton continued to turn back the clock with an excellent performance. Rascal does lose Tyreek Hill to his bye week, making the wide receiver corps look a little empty, as Hunter Renfrow fills in. Rascal will stream the Texans defense, dropping the 49ers, and looks primed to get back Kareem Hunt, dropping J.D. McKissic to open up space on the bench.
Week 12 Starting Lineup (vs Tug of War)
RB Jonathan Taylor
RB Joe Mixon
WR Ja'Marr Chase
WR Brandin Cooks
WR Hunter Renfrow
TE Darren Waller
RB A.J. Dillon
K Justin Tucker
DEF Houston Texans
