We're sending a $25 gift certificate to Lucille Johnston of Sequim, Wash. because she dominated Blackout in Week 8 with Aaron Jones (included in only 9.4 percent of Blackout lineups) and Mike Evans (10.3 percent), plus shoulda-been-blacked-out QB Deshaun Watson. Click through to see Lucille's week-winning score -- plus the perfect entry, the season-long rankings, and the percentage of use for each player in Week 8.
Let's also offer special round of applause for "spencedog" and "Big Galute." No, seriously. These two teams had entries comprised entirely of Miami and Pittsburgh players. Remember, if you ever forget to enter by kickoff Thursday -- or Sunday morning -- or Sunday afternoon -- you can still salvage your season-long score by picking from the remaining players. Applause for players who keep trying.
We will begin accepting entries for Week 9 on Wednesday afternoon.

It was a bad week for the Blackout Blacker-Outer. How did he fail to black out Deshaun Watson? With five players appearing in more than 50 percent of lineups, the Blacker-Outer needs to make the choices harder in Week 9.
Here's a fun new way to look at the table. Let's sort it by position, then by score, and see how often those players were used.
This table includes only players who were used in a starting lineup. So you won't find Giants QB Daniel Jones and the Giants defense, both of whom were maximum points picks at their positions.
