Championship Bracket
#1 - Team Prime (11-2) Last Week: 1 (This Week: Silly Nannies)
The title defense begins now! Team Prime comes into Week 15, having survived the opening round of the playoffs with a much needed BYE week and now faces one of the hottest teams in the league, Silly Nannies. In Week 14, Team Prime was outscored by 8 of the 12 teams in the league, putting up a lowly 126 total points but saved thanks to the work put in during the regular season. Both rookie running backs Alvin Kamara (5 points) and Christian McCaffrey (7 points) struggled in Week 14, with Kamara going out with a concussion and McCaffrey taking the backseat to Jonathan Stewart (28 points) Team Prime will have to expect bigger numbers from his key players in Week 15, leaning on LeSean McCoy (21 points) and Russell Wilson (21 points) should both carry a significant load, but Team Primes supporting cast will have to step up.
#2 - Hernandez Hitmen (10-3) Last Week: 2 (This Week: I Can't Think Of Anything Clever Yet)
#3 ↑ I Can't Think Of Anything Clever Yet (8-5) Last Week: 4 (This Week: Team Prime)
I Can't Think Of Anything Clever Yet took care of business in a major way in Week 14, taking down the #6 seeded Juan Too Many and doing so convincingly winning by a final score of 144-82. Zac moves into the Semi-Final round of the KOTS Playoffs having redeemed early exits from the playoffs in the last two years. Davante Adams (30 points) and Adam Thielen (22 points) made sure of this, posting huge numbers through the air, including a walk-off touchdown for Adams. Kenyan Drake (23 points) looks to be one of the top late season adds that I Can't Think Of Anything Yet could have made. Since taking the starting role for the Dolphins, Drake has topped 100 yards in 4 of 6 games and is becoming a PPR monster with his receiving capabilities.
#4 ↑ Silly Nannies (8-5) Last Week: 5 (This Week: Team Prime)
Could this be the year for Silly Nannies!? Jake has exceeded all expectations dating back to the beginning of the season when the naysayers came out predicting a repeat of last year. Now Silly Nannies is one game away from the KOTS Championship game and will face his toughest test of the season yet. #1 seeded Team Prime welcomes Silly Nannies to town in Week 15, after Silly Nannies won a come from behind matchup against Gronkemon Go, winning 134-130. The biggest news to this point in the health of Aaron Rodgers who is likely to return in Week 15, giving Silly Nannies some major options at the quarterback position. Jake will need some major output from Michael Crabtree (15 points) and Tyreek Hill (11 points) both whom will most likely need to post 100+ yard games, and find the endzone multiples times. Team Prime boasts a dangerous lineup, but Silly Nannies could play spoiler in this matchup as he has all season long against quality teams. Win or lose, this has been a victory season for Silly Nannies.

Consolation Bracket
#5 ↓ Gronkemon Go (8-5) Last Week: 3 (This Week: Juan Too Many)
Another close loss for Gronkemon Go in the playoffs, leads to an early exit in the 2017 KOTS Playoffs. This one stings a little more than usual as Justin gave up a commanding 20 point lead on Monday night, going down on one of the last plays of the game., losing to #5 seeded Silly Nannies. Gronkemon Go was one of the few teams able to take down Team Prime in the regular season, and misses out on the opportunity to continue that trend in Week 15. With Jordan Howard (27 points) Demaryius Thomas (23 points) and Ben Roethlisberger (31 points) all sitting on the bench for Justin in Week 14, this could be a game that Gronkemon Go never lives down as the matchup could have easily been one with a few different lineup changes. Gronkemon Go will face Juan Too Many in Week 15, in a battle for 4th place, playing for a draft spot and redeeming the early playoff loss.
#6 - Juan Too Many (6-7) Last Week: 6 (This Week: Gronkemon Go)
A season of despair continued for Juan Too Many in Week 14. After playing for the KOTS Championship a year ago, Josh was knocked out of the playoffs early in wild card matchup with I Can't Think Of Anything Clever Yet. Losing by a score of 144-82, Juan Too Many was happy to get the season over with and prepare for next year after a dismantling in the second half of the season. Tom Brady (9 points) put up subpar numbers for the second straight week, while Mike Evans (4 points) and Jordy Nelson (7 points) both have dropped from league stars to droppable assets during the second half of the season. In Week 15, Juan Too Many will face off against Gronkemon Go, a win could numb some of the pains of this year, but the 2018 season will be a redemption year for Juan Too Many.
Loser's Bracket
#7 ↑ Rudy Was Offsides (5-8) Last Week: 10 (This Week: 99 Problems But A Lynch Ain't One)
201 points came a few weeks too late for Rudy Was Offsides, who is playing in the Loser's Bracket, but the performance gives Luke a huge jumpstart at winning the first pick in the 2018 draft as the offseason approaches. Luke took down Ballz Deep! 201-109, led by a dominant performance by Le'Veon Bell (38 points) scoring 3 total TD's and proving once again why he is the best back in the NFL. Jamaal Williams (29 points) is having a resurgent second half of the season, after being non-existent in the Packers offense early on. With the return of Aaron Rodgers (Collarbone) Williams could be in line for an even bigger role through the air-attack with the play action game. DeAndre Hopkins (36 points) put up monster numbers in a loss to the 49ers, finding the endzone twice and once again proving to be a receiver than can play in any offense with any quarterback. In Week 15, Rudy Was Offsides will move on to face 99 Problems But A Lynch Ain't One, a predicted high scoring affair.
#8 ↑ 99 Problems But A Lynch Ain't One (4-9) Last Week: 11(This Week: Rudy Was Offsides)

Week 15 could very well be the deciding factor of the 2018 #1 pick.
Game Of Jones...despite Kirk Cousins' (8 points) was still able to put up 159 total points, scoring one of the highest point totals in Week 14 and putting himself in contention for the #1 pick in the 2018 draft. Trey Burton (24 points) emerged in Week 14 with Zach Ertz out with injury, Burton hauled in 2 TD's through the air and is a rising young star at the tight end position. Javorius Allen (19 points) put up big numbers as the Ravens offense exploded for 38 points in Week 14 against the Steelers. Allen could be an X-factor going forward for Game Of Jones as the Ravens, who are in the playoff hunt will look to utilize their talented running back more often. In Week 15, Game Of Jones will face Martellus All About It and will have to bring his "A" game if he wants to come away with a victory.
#11 ↓ TFuchs (5-8) Last Week: 7 (This Week: Ballz Deep!)

The only bright spot was Todd Gurley (27 points) who continues to be the Rams centerpiece of their league leading offense. In Week 15, TFuchs will face off against Ballz Deep! in a battle of cellar dwelling teams looking for a pick-me-up victory.
