Bull 51 Wins Blackout

Bob Bullen from Avondale, PA selected four top scoring players and earned 76-percent of the available points in a high scoring Week 16. He has finished in the top 100 eight times this season and is sitting at 10th overall with two games left.

Week 17 of the Blackout competition is LIVE!

Bob did not take many chances on this roster; on average his players were included on over 35-percent of entries. Luckily most of those players had a good week and the ones who busted hurt a lot of rosters. Travis Kelce highlighted that group. He scored just 1.60 points for nearly a quarter of Blackout entries as the Chiefs completed their collapse. Saquon Barkley topped 20 points for just the second time this season, finishing as the RB9 and Justin Herbert was a bit of a differentiator for Bob, he finished as the QB4 on just 17-percent of rosters. Here is this week’s winning team :

The most popular roster selected just two top scoring players but managed a healthy 65-percent of the available points. Jacoby Brissett finally got some love with a 42-percent selection rate. Unfortunately, this was his first game as a starter in 25’ under 20 points. The receivers produced solid but middling numbers. The Jameson Williams roller coaster continued with a 47-percent selection rate for a WR22 outing. A.J. Brown was 12th among eligible receivers and Mike Evans put up the 18th best score.

Six of the top scoring players were blacked out this week and the perfect roster topped 300 points again. Chase Brown rewarded the 29-percent of managers who selected him with a RB1 performance. While less than 2-percent of managers predicted Ashton Jeanty’s big week. Not a single entry included Parker Washinton who went off as the WR2 on the week. The top three tight ends were all unvailable and the Saints Defense came through as the 2nd highest selection percentage of the week. Here is the max points roster:

There is a lot of parity in the Blackout as we approach the final games. Longtime front runner Donald D is lurking in 5th place. Last week’s leader, Nostriladamus, finished just outside the top 100 to slip to 3rd and there is a new overall leader, Nate S. He finished 8th this week, his seventh week inside the top 50. Math Mania is another player to watch. He’s been banging around the top 5 all year and has eight finishes in the top 100 to go along with a win in Week 6. Here is a look at the Top 25 overall through 16 weeks:
