Steven T. Wins Blackout

Kickers key in Week 10 stage of the season-long competition

In a week that broke the record for last second field goal victories, it’s fitting that our champion selected the two highest scoring kickers. Steven Torres from Mipomo, CA is the Week 10 Blackout winner. (Click through to see his winning lineup, the perfect lineup for the week, the most frequently picked players, and the overall top 25.)

Week 11 of the Blackout is live

Jamyr Gibbs was a crucial start this week. He finished as the RB2 and appeared in three of the top five rosters. Steven’s combination of Brock Purdy and Geno Smith worked out well. Including Mike Evans, who finished WR2 among eligible players, and nailing both of the top scoring kickers gave Steven all he needed to win the week. Check out this week’s winning roster:

The Blackout was back in Week 10 and it was ruthless. Three of the top five QBs, WRs and TEs were blacked out, as well as the top two STs. Both of the top RBs were available this week but only three managers selected Brian Robinson and only thirteen rosters included Jamyr Gibbs. At WR not a single roster included the WR1 or WR3 among eligible players, Brandin Cooks and Noah Brown.

There were not any dramatic standouts from outside the eligible player pool this week. Rico Dowdle put up 13.90 for the Cowboys in an utter shellacking of the Giants. Jalen Guyton had 14.10 for the Chargers in another offensive explosion.

It was a tough week for the crowd in Week 10. The most popular roster put up 54.7% of the maximum score. That’s our third lowest percentage of the season in what amounted to an average week for fantasy scoring. Mike Evans and Jason Myers made both the most popular and max scoring rosters.
