2015 All-Pro Team

[Cincinnati Bengals (Chris)]

Below is the North Florida Football League 2015 All-Pro team, according to Fantrax and our league scoring rules. There are three offensive and defensive teams, as well as an honorable mention team due to the smaller rosters (a standard fantasy lineup from our league: The top-6 offensive performers, by position excluding RB/WR and the top-8 defensive performers, by position excluding ID). Seattle led the way with 3 1st-Teamers, and Green Bay was the only other team to place 2 players on the 1st Team. Houston, Detroit, Jacksonville, Washington, Denver, Tennessee, Philadelphia, Oakland, Kansas City and New Orleans all placed one player on the 1st Team as well. Seattle also took home the largest point total with 16, beating 2nd Place Houston (12) by 4 points. League Runner-up Detroit was the only other team to finish with more than 10 points with 11, good enough for 3rd Place. League Champion Jacksonville finished tied for 4th with 9 points. 27 different teams were represented by a player on this year's teams, two up from last year's 25 teams represented.

Russell Wilson was the only quarterback to repeat on the teams, gaining ground from Honorable Mention a year ago to the 3rd Team this year. None of the top-8 running backs were repeats from 2014. At WR, Antonio Brown fell one spot from #1 overall to #2, and with health, Julio Jones jumped from the last wide receiver selected in '14 to the top overall option in '15. ODBJ also repeated from '14, but failed to improve his footing, staying at #5 overall. At TE, Rob Gronokowski was surprisingly usurped by Gary Barnidge and Delanie Walker, dropping him to the #3 overall option at the position. Greg Olsen repeated as the #4 overall TE on the HM team. Stephen Gostowski defended his #1 spot as the top kicker, and was the only leg-swinger to make it back in 2015.

On the defensive side of the ball, J.J. Watt easily repeated as the #1 DL option. Carlos Dunlap, the only other returning DL, dropped from the 2nd Team to the 3rd Team. A pair of 2nd Team LBs from '14, Lavonte David and D'Qwell Jackson both elevated their games and moved from the #3-4 LB options to the #1-2 overall options, both on new teams in this league. Luke Kuechly also returned, but a concussion likely kept him from repeating at the #1 spot, dropping to the #5 overall LB. C.J. Mosley also made the squad again, falling from the #5 option to the last one to make the team at the position. Not a single DB repeated from last year to this year, putting on full display the year-to-year volatility at that position. Lawrence Timmons returned as one of the ID options, but slid in on the 3rd Team as opposed to the 2nd Team last year. Cincinnati also replaced the retired Chris Borland on the '14 HM team with another rookie LB, Stephone Anthony, only to trade him away late in the season. What is wrong with that guy!?
