The Blackout only hit on three players who logged top scores in Week 15 which is an opportunity for managers to rack up some points. However, the top players continued to be elusive. The QB1, Baker Mayfield, was not included on a single roster. The QB2, Jared Goff was selected by just 8% of managers, the same number as the RB1, James Cook. A single roster included the WR1, Jordan Addison and the WR3, Terry McLaurin received just two starts. The crowd did manage to mash the tight ends this week. The top finishers, Trey McBride and David Njoku were the 3rd and 4th most selected players.

There were some interesting performances from outside of the player pool this week. Joshua Palmer, WR, LAC scored 21.30 in his return from injury. In that same game, rookie Tre Tucker, WR, LV gave his dynasty owners a flash of hope, finding the endzone on two of his three receptions for 20.70 points.
This was another week where many of the top scores defied prediction but this time the crowd didn’t hold serve. The most selected players roster this week put up just 39.6% of the available points. That essentially ties the low water mark of the season which was set back in Week 5.
