Jesse threaded the needle by picking both of the top kickers to claim the win and jump 40 spots in the overall rankings. It was a down week for the NFL and for the Blackout. NFL teams averaged just 40.7 points in Week 10, the second lowest mark of the season. Jesse’s 184.95 was the lowest winning score in the Blackout this year, likewise the Perfect Score also hit a season low. Prehistoric X managed to land 4 of the top scoring players in total.

Thanks to everyone for participating in Week 10 of the Blackout. Week 11 will be another normal player pool.
Week 11 of the Blackout is live
Week 10 continued the trend of roster diversity from last week.While all 5 of the top scoring rosters included Brock Purdy(QB1) and 4 of 5 started Malik Nabers(WR17), the rest of the rosters did not have much overlap. Interestingly, this week’s winner, Prehistoric X, did buck the trend of separating at WR or RB. Compared to the average of the other top finishers, he lost both of the key positions by a combined 10.4 points. Jesse won the week at the bottom of the roster. He was the only top five finisher to start Sam LaPorta(TE1) and he won the position by 5.5. He won at kicker by 6.5 and was the only manager to start Joey Slye(PK2) in the entire contest.

The Blackout also continued its trend of efficient selections in Week 10. 11 of the top scoring players were ineligible, a total that has only been surpassed once this season. Chubba Hubbard(RB1) and Chase Brown(RB2) were both selected on fewer than 5% of rosters. Derek Carr’s return to the top (QB2) was a hit for just one manager. Calvin Ridley (WR1) and Courtland Sutton (WR3) were selected on only 8 combined rosters. Take a look at the highest possible scoring roster:

The most selected roster had a nice bounce back, scoring a serviceable 63.7% of the available points. Other than the defenses, Kansas City(ST17) and the New York Giants(ST16) there were not really any busts. However, only Brock Purdy(QB1) appeared on both the top scoring and most popular rosters.

The action at the top of the overall leaderboard continued in Week 10 as well. Last week, Northern King finally unseated the longtime leader, GREGH987 with a 50th place finish. This week Northern King finished 67th to retain his lead and opened up his margin from 4.00 to 13.70. GREGH987 is not going away though. He did struggle again this week, finishing 266th, his 3rd finish outside the Top 100 all season, but he is only 28.40 off the pace in 3rd place. Moving into 2nd is Joe Kapp who has been hanging around the top of the leaderboard since taking the top spot back in Week 2. He finished 4th in Week 10, and is looking the part with only 2 finishes outside the top 100. This season is shaping up into much more of a pitched battle than 2023!
