Nearly 5 months of competition ran down to one final week, where Rascal hunted down his first Dog League Championship, going against a formidable Rare Woofs behemoth. In this post, I'll take a look at how each team finished, and reveal a few planned alterations for The Dog League moving forward.
Final Standings
1. Ridiculous Rascals
2. Rare Woofs
3. Canine Comets
4. Tailwaggerz
5. Growlers
6. Tug of War
7. Leaping Girl
8. Bark Force
Congratulations to Rascal for finally putting it all together and capturing his first Dog League title, crushing Rare Woofs' hope for a three-peat behind a 50 burger from Ja'Marr Chase. The Comets and Leaping Girl both survived late flurries to win their respective games, as Najee Harris (Tailwaggerz) and the duo of Aaron Rodgers and Davante Adams (Bark Force) each came with an eyelash of pulling off historic comeback wins. Growlers, meanwhile, dominated on the strength of big games from Rashaad Penny and the Saints defense. These standings will determine next year's draft order, so keep them in mind when June rolls around.
What's Next?
The Dog League now goes on hiatus, but I remain busy tinkering with the league's rules and scoring systems, in order to freshen up the experience for next season. My initial thoughts for next year surround moving to Half-PPR scoring, which will increase the importance of running backs, and balance out the divide between skill players. Should that switch occur, I would add a 3rd starting running back to the lineups, which will allow overall team scoring to remain high. We'll see if that change is implemented, but I can guarantee that the league will have at least one fresh idea at beginning of next year.
