Week 15 was a fantasy football whirlwind. Studs like Kareem Hunt, Rob Gronkowski and Todd Gurley tore it up, while players many relied on -- like A.J. Green, Adam Thielen and the entire Seahawks offense -- put up absolute duds. It was the kind of craziness reserved only for the fantasy playoffs.

Hopefully most of you have survived the playoffs thus far. If so, congratulations!

For those of you who unfortunately did not survive the playoffs, don't check out just yet. Your fantasy season may be over, but that doesn't mean you should stop paying attention. While your competition for next year is worried about setting their lineups this week you can set your sights to the future and gain an edge going into next season.

Regardless of where you stand, there was plenty to take away from Week 15, so let's hit the books.
