The percentage of use table is always interesting. We want a good diversity of entries, so we try to black out players whom everybody would pick. With a whole bunch of players over 50 percent this week, we didn't do well enough. More than 50 percent of contestants used the highest rated available receivers, DeAndre Hopkins and Antonio Brown, and 43.2 percent used Julio Jones. If we had blacked out those players, would folks have just used the three next highest-rated players? It's a challenge for us, figuring out how many players to remove from the contest.
Andrew Luck was used by 53.2 percent of contestants - that surprised us (in a good way). Here are the stats for Week 12:
