We failed to black out Travis Kelce, who was the most-used player and was a maximum points player. #BLACKOUTFAIL #SAD Davante Adams also appeared on more than 60 percent of entries. He didn't exactly lay an egg, but the Packers-Seahawks game was a bit of a dud.

Plenty of big scores near the top in Week 10. Darren Waller was the most common entry-wrecker, although Aaron Rodgers was no prize. A.J. Brown was probably the biggest dud in the contest.
