Fantasy Index Blackout

David Wilde emphatically wins 2018 Fantasy Index Blackout title

Wilde cements 2018 title by finishing first in Week 17 competition; earns spot in Experts draft (or auction) in 2019 edition of Fantasy Football Index

That is how it's done. Leading the season-long Fantasy Index Blackout competition by only 9.4 points after Week 16, David Wilde of Mukwonago, Wis. outscored everyone in Week 17. Click through to see his winning lineup, the perfect lineup for Week 17, and the top 25 overall finishers for the year.

In Week 17, our champion successfully picked five maximum points players: Josh Allen, Saquon Barkley, Tyreek Hill, , George Kittle and the Kansas City defense / special teams.

We are awarding David a $25 Fantasy Index gift certificate for his Week 17 high score, but he may wait until at least 2020 do redeem it. That's because he earned a free subscription for 2019 as a reward for his full-season title. David will also be offered a spot in the Experts draft or Experts auction -- his choice -- to be published in the 2019 edition of Fantasy Football Index magazine.

Second place finisher Robert Buckmann will be offered a spot in the Experts draft or Experts auction -- whichever remains after the champion makes his choice.
