HighwayToGoodell Wins Blackout

Dak Prescott, Ka'imi Fairbairn and The Saints Defense made the difference for Peter Chen from Palo Alto, CA and his cleverly named team, HighwayToGoodell.

Week 6 of the Blackout competition is LIVE!

Even with a challenging player pool, fortune favored the crowd this week. Peter scored 71-percent of the perfect score despite getting just 39-percent of the points at wide receiver. Here is Peter’s winning roster :

The most popular roster made comeback this week with 58-percent of the available points, even without a single top scoring player. Javonte Williams won’t be back in the player pool for a while. Sam LaPorta’s mustache power also came through over half entries and Justin Fields big week helped overcome lackluster performance from most of the most popular selections. Here is a look at the Wisdom of the Crowd score for Week 5 :

Looking at the top scoring roster you might think the “No 1’s Like Bye-Weeks” challenge went off without a hitch. Only two of the top scoring players broke double-digit selection percentages. Neither the RB2, Jacory Croskey-Merritt or the Tennessee Titans Defense appeared on any rosters and only one manager selected the TE1, AJ Barner. Despite one of the most elusive perfect rosters I’ve seen, the most popular players put together strong enough scores to keep many managers in competition without having to strike gold at wide receiver. I hope you all enjoyed the challenge anyway. Here is the max points roster:

HighwayToGoodell, took the week on just his third entry of the season. With performances like this he could get back into contention, but he has a way to go. Our own Andy Richardson cracked the top 25 this week. He’s ranked 33rd overall with three finishes in the top 100. Ian Allen was one of the few managers to hit on the New Orleans Defense but finished outside the top 150 to slide to 74th overall. BeeboSamuel mashed at tight end but finished outside the top 225 to slide to 3rd overall. The new overall leader is Pro VK who has finished in the top 40 four times.
