The playoff schedule is finally set, as Rare Woofs enter the fray, boasting the best record in the league and on the hunt for a three-peat, while the bottom four teams duke it out in an attempt to improve their draft position for next year.
Leaping Girl
Final Record: (5-10, 8th Seed)
Beset by injuries, Emma finished the year out cold, now staring down an uphill battle for relevancy in the consolation bracket. This week, she hopes to start Jalen Hurts and D'Andre Swift, benching Kyler Murray and Ezekiel Elliott, and brings in a new receiver with Mike Evans banged up, dropping Marvin Jones to add Gabriel Davis to start as the WR3. Emma has a new defense and kicker, dropping the Browns unit and Ryan Succop to add the Titans and Evan McPherson.
UPDATE: Gabriel Davis (COVID) has been dropped, as Leaping Girl will acquire Tyler Boyd to start this week.
UPDATE: Leaping Girl will start Ezekiel Elliott over D'Andre Swift.

Tug of War
Final Record: (6-9, 7th Seed)
Tug of War squandered a golden chance to clinch a playoff spot thanks to terrible performances by Amari Cooper, Tee Higgins, and Tom Brady, leaving them with a strong roster on paper, but no chance to contend for the league title. They make no changes to their lineup, hoping these talented players can turn things around.

RB Saquon Barkley
WR Marquise Brown

Bark Force
Final Record: (6-9, 6th Seed)
Bark Force put in an honest effort against Rare Woofs in Week 15, scoring over 130 points and giving off the idea of a playoff team for the first time in months, though they still lost. This week, they hope Darrell Henderson is back to the top spot for the Rams, starting him over Sony Michel, and add Hunter Henry after a big game against the Colts, dropping Tyler Conklin and leaving a banged up Pat Freiermuth on the bench.
UPDATE: Bark Force has benched Odell Beckham for DeVonta Smith.
UPDATE: Sony Michel will start over Darrell Henderson as the RB2.

Growlers
Final Record: (6-9, 5th Seed)
A win over Leaping Girl wasn't enough for Growlers to make the playoffs, though it did close out a strong debut season for this expansion team. This week, Growlers make plenty of moves, as they take A.J. Brown out of reserve, starting him over Brandon Aiyuk, and send Austin Ekeler (COVID) to the reserve. They drop both Cole Beasley and Sterling Shepard to add Justin Jackson and Mecole Hardman, starting Jackson in the flex.
UPDATE: Growlers will start Damien Harris over Justin Jackson.

Canine Comets
Final Record: (6-9, 4th Seed)
The Comets punched their ticket to the playoffs on the back of a huge Travis Kelce performance last Thursday night, but now they face a week without him after a positive COVID test. Rob Gronkowski takes the starting spot, while Jaylen Waddle returns from reserve to replace the injured Chris Godwin, who heads to reserve. Kelce is also placed in reserve, and his empty roster spot will be filled by Cole Kmet.

Tailwaggerz
Final Record: (9-6, 3rd Seed)
There are no waiver moves to report for Tailwaggerz this week, though they did get Antonio Brown back from suspension, dropping Van Jefferson. Jefferson's starting spot will be filled by Adam Thielen, if Thielen is cleared to play.
UPDATE: Dalvin Cook (COVID) has been placed in reserve, and Tailwaggerz will use his roster spot to add Alexander Mattison, starting him as the RB2.
UPDATE: With Antonio Brown cleared to play, Tailwaggerz will start him over Adam Thielen.
UPDATE: Melvin Gordon will start in the flex with James Conner ruled out.

Ridiculous Rascals
Final Record: (10-5, 2nd Seed)
Rascal's team is in a state of disarray right now, entering the playoffs with three straight losses and the duo of Tyreek Hill and Brandin Cooks both currently on the COVID list. Rascal sends Cooks to the reserve, using the roster spot to add Van Jefferson, and drops David Njoku to add Jeff Wilson, who starts in the flex. Rascal benches Hill for Jakobi Meyers, and then things get really interesting, as at quarterback, Rascal is in need of a new option. He drops Jimmy Garoppolo to add Tyler Huntley, who is listed as the starter for now, with Lamar Jackson's health in question.
UPDATE: Rascal now has to replace Huntley (COVID), so he adds Matt Ryan, who starts over Russell Wilson.

Rare Woofs
Final Record: (11-4, 1st Seed)
Rare Woofs suffered another big hit to their running back room last week with Leonard Fournette going down, but fortunately for them, they had already dedicated a roster spot to Ronald Jones, so they just substitute Jones in and move forward. Chuba Hubbard is pulled from the flex, which goes to Amon-Ra St. Brown for right now, though it might also end up being Tyler Lockett, who came off reserve, with David Johnson getting dropped to open space. Rare Woofs changes kicker for this week, as Harrison Butker is out due to COVID, so they drop him and stream Younghoe Koo.
UPDATE: Rare Woofs has benched Stefon Diggs for Tyler Lockett, and sent Leonard Fournette to reserve, adding Devin Singletary.
