Unleashed Wins Blackout

Lane Harstad from Duluth, MN selected six top scoring players to claim the top spot in Week 12.

Happy Thanksgiving! I am thankful for everyone participating in the Blackout this season! To celebrate the Holiday, this week's player pool contains only a few blacked-out players. Have a great holiday and best of luck finding the top scores this week!

Week 13 of the Blackout competition is LIVE!

Lane took some chances this week that really paid off. Derrick Henry rewarded his 56-percent roster rate with his second 20+ outing of the season but big weeks from Dak Prescott (9-percent), A.J. Brown (15-percent) and the Rams Defense (10-percent) are what allowed Unleashed to finish with 79-percent of the available points and a 14-point margin of victory. Here is this week’s winning roster :

The most popular roster continued to struggle with just 49-percent of the available points and only one top scoring player. Saquon Barkley has been a trap in the Blackout all year with only one 20+ game to date. Emeka Egbuka’s early season dominance earned him a lot of loyalty in this contest, but he has just one top-scoring outing in his last six. Nearly a third of managers chased Tetairoa McMillan’s huge game in Week 11 but this week was more of the same tepid performance the Panthers have mustered for him all season. Week 13 should provide some more solid hits among the most popular players, but the key to gaining ground on the leaders is not likely to come from players being selected by 50-percent of managers.

The Blackout didn’t make it easy this week. Twelve of the top scoring players were unavailable. Wan’dale Robinson’s monster outing was predicted by under 2-percent of entrants. Last week, Ashton Jeanty burned the 35-percent of managers who selected him, this week he came back with an RB1 performance for just 2.5-percent of managers who held the faith. DJ Moore’s WR3 performance benefited just one roster! Here is the max points roster:
