GanjaDwarvez takes home the top spot in week 15 with 91 total points. This is his 4th weekly victory on the year. With just 2 weeks remaining in the season Punk is Dead is in 1st with 1304 total points. He leads GanjaDwarvez by 112 points.

Robbie Gould has been a stud fantasy kicker. He leads the week with 24 points in week 15. That’s the most of any selection! Benjamin Watson was the pick that put GanjaDwarvez over the top in week 15. Watson put up 13 points but dominated the TE selections this week. Punk got 1 point from Jared Cook and Mark Abell got 0 points from Jimmy Graham. Ouch!

In addition to Gould and Watson, Ben Roethlisberger(18), the Redskins DST(12) and Davante Adams(11) led the way for the winning team.

Under the rules of this contest all entries who competed in weeks 1-15 will be without the players they selected going forward. A reminder of players that are ineligible to select for Week 16 are:

For those new to the challenge, here are a few ground rules. The format is basic enough; construct a lineup using the following roster setup: 1QB, 2RB, 2WR, 1TE, 1DST, & 1K. We will use standard ESPN scoring which is can be found here. This is NON PPR where a 5 catch for 32 yard day equals 3 fantasy points. Passing touchdowns are 4 points. There isn’t even a salary cap when setting the lineup!

The challenge is you can only select each player ONCE per season! That means if you pick Aaron Rodgers in Week 1, you CANNOT choose him again Weeks 2-17. Matchups play a HUGE part in this game, but so do injuries. Wait too long on using Rob Gronkowski and he could suffer an injury which leaves him unusable in your available player pool for the rest of the season. We are using 2RBs and 2WRs per week to make it even more difficult.

For those joining us in Week 16, you have the entire pool of players at your disposal! We will have new winners each week! In addition to that, we will also have a season long total and a weekly average leaderboard.

Please post your lineups in the comments below. I will update this weekly with the leaderboard and you will put next week’s lineup in that post! Feel free to ask any questions in the comments below as well. Thanks for the read and please share this post to grow this challenge and the Fake Teams community!
