Great games from Malik Nabers, Davante Adams, and Chris Godwin propelled David's Team to a massive 15.7 point margin of victory! (Click through to see his winning lineup, the perfect lineup for the week, the most frequently picked players, and the overall top 25.)
Thanks to everyone for participating in Week 2. One of the great things about the Blackout is that you don’t have to deal with injuries! Next week will be another standard format Blackout.
Week 3 of the Blackout is live
Including this week's champion, 4 of the Top 5 rosters started Kyler Murray (QB1), Alvin Kamara (RB1) and George Kittle (TE1). David left virtually nothing on the table at WR. Although he started the WR3, 4 & 5 on the week, just 1.30 fantasy points separated the WR3 from the WR1. Check out this week’s winning roster:

Week 2 was propelled by solid veteran performances and two big rookie breakouts. Malik Nabers and Marvin Harrison paid off for the few who believed in them. Betting on the Saints continuing to dominate turned out to be correct. Will it happen again against the Eagles? Only DeVon Achane repeated on the highest scoring roster from Week 1. Take a look at the highest possible scoring roster:

The top scores from outside the player pool came from Jets rookie RB Bralon Allen who’s 2 TD outing would have been good for the RB6. Seahawks RB Zach Charbonnet filled in for the injured Kenneth Walker and would have been the RB8.
The difficulty level in Week 2 was considerably higher than Week 1. There have also been a lot of frustrating injuries to start off the season and several teams seem to be bucking the preseason narratives, which has led to some unexpected starts. What I’m trying to get at here is that Week 2 did not go very well for the field. The most popular roster put up fewer points in Week 2, 167.65, just 53% of the available total. The Blackout also struggled, only two of the top scoring options were blacked out. Take a look at the most selected roster of Week 2:
