The Blackout was brutal again in week seven. Six of the top scoring players were unavailable in this week’s contest. Monster games from Minshew, Foreman and Addison were very unexpected but helped the perfect roster bounce back somewhat. This week’s 315.40 points is almost forty five points higher than last week but still represents the second lowest score of the season.

Two receivers put up solid numbers from outside of the player pool. Marquez Valdes-Scantling had 17.40 points from Mahomes' monster game. Jake Bobo, the less heralded rookie WR for the Seahawks, netted 16.10 points.
Puka Nacua and Jake Moody made their way back onto the most selected roster this week. Puka and Lamar were the only players on both the most popular and highest scoring rosters. This week was wild though. Only seven people picked Gardner Minshew and only TWO teams started the top RB, D’onta Foreman (Bear Down). This week’s most selected players put up 59% of the max score.
