Michael David from Nashville, TN dug deep to hit on Deebo Samuel and added both top scoring kickers on his way to the top spot in Week 11.
Week 12 of the Blackout competition is LIVE!
The top scores were highly elusive this week, but Michael’s shrewd selections at kicker gave him a total of four, enough to edge out the field. Samuel finished as the WR3 but was included on just 2-percent of entries. George Pickens was considerably more popular at 45-percent but was one of the few spots where points proved easy to come by. Team DYNAMIKE! Scored just 64-percent of the available points. Here is this week’s winning roster :

The most popular roster had a tough go of it in Week 11 with just 48-percent of the available points and only one top scoring player. Ashton Jeanty and Rico Dowdle were low hanging fruit in this week’s player pool but failed to provide elite production. Likewise, Ladd McConkey and Jaylen Waddle did not repeat their big games from Week 10. Here is a look at the Wisdom of the Crowd score for Week 11 :

The Blackout had a solid week with nine of the top scoring players blacked out and outlier performance making up most of the top scores. Only three top players managed a double-digit selection percentage. The QB1, Bryce Young was not selected at all while the QB2, Jacoby Brissett managed just 2-percent and only a single roster included the WR1, Tetairoa McMillan. Even TreVeyon Henderson’s inclusion on 15-percent of rosters seems low given the way the Patriots have played of late. Here is the max points roster:
