Play along with the Fantasy Index crew in our fun and exciting Blackout competition. Each week, choose 2 QBs, 2 RBs, 3 WRs, 2 TEs and 2 defenses. Scores accumulate throughout the season and there will be only one Champion at the end!
This year we are going to continue the format we introduced last season. Some weeks will have the classic Blackout format; with many of the top and most popular players removed from the player pool. Other weeks are going to present you with a themed challenge that may flood the player pool with top players or may cut to the bone and test the depth of your roster knowledge.
As an example, Week 1 of the 2025 NFL season will pay its respects to last season, players from all 2024 Division Winners will be unavailable. That means no Bills, Chiefs, Ravens, Texas, Eagles, Rams, Lions or Buccaneers in Week 1. On the other hand, players from every other team will be eligible, including some you won’t often see in the Blackout.
Each week's high score (PPR scoring) will win a $25 Fantasy Index gift certificate and the season champ will win a nice prize package including a spot in the 2026 Experts Poll. The biggest advantage you can give yourself in the Blackout is to play every week so enter for Week 1 and stay in the hunt for the season championship!
It Takes Only a Couple of Minutes to Make Your Picks.
The game is low-stress, and a lot of fun. Play alongside the Fantasy Index crew: Ian Allan, Andy Richardson, Luke Wilson and Ben Prator -- the gang's all here.
