SEASON
This season began the modern era of the league. Our first year as a ten-team league went really well, with a lot of competition. This was also the first season we switched to a one-week playoff format and a wildcard in order to increase the chances for teams to win, while also keeping the pot large for the champion. That would end up being a game-changer in the playoffs, with a wildcard team making a lot of noise in the postseason. Talk of rule changes came after this season, yet we would end up waiting again since this was our first season as a keeper league, which played into the draft strategy for many players.

3 teams finished at 9-4, the best record so far in the league. Julian continued to be a very consistent player, finishing at the top again for the second time in 3 years. Riley bounced back from his last place finish and also had a top 3 record Trevor finishes 3-10 for the second straight season, calling into question his commitment to the league. New guy Kendall would win the Championship in the most competitive championship game so far, using waiver wire star David Johnson to lead him to victory.
-3 teams were tied for Best Record at 9-4
-Josh led the league in Points For, least Points Against, and Avg. Margin of Victory.
-Kendall had the most Points Against
-Roush had the lowest Points For and largest Avg. Margin of Loss
-Trevor had the Highest Scoring Week with 164
-Kyle had the Fantasy MVP, Antonio Brown, scoring 250 points at WR
Despite some controversy, Kendall took home the championship trophy in the 2015 season, his first as a part of the league. Jack, despite all of his trash talk, missed playoffs and yet still continued to smack talk even though he might be the worst fantasy player in the league. This season was the first in which we had trophies commissioned by Kyle, Riley and Josh.
2015 League Champ, Kendall Phelps
