Howard hit on one of the top RBs and a top WR this week but got solid outings from all the skill positions to take the week. (Click through to see his winning lineup, the perfect lineup for the week, the most frequently picked players, and the overall top 25.)
Week 13 of the Blackout is live
It was a week of surprises across the competition. Only three out of the twenty most selected players topped 20 points. Howard avoided all of the top end duds, with the exception of the Broncos DST. He hit with Michael Pittman (6th) and Kyler Murray (19th) then proceeded to nail four of six 20+ scorers from the next ten most popular. That’s how you win in week twelve without starting Kyren Williams, who was selected on just 14.81% of rosters. Check out this week’s winning roster:

The most notable performances from outside the eligible player pool came from Gerald Everett, TE, LAR who would have been good for TE3 with 14.30. Jaylin Hyatt, WR, NYG also contributed a season high 15.90.
Week 12 was a bad one for the crowd. We hit on just one player from the max scoring roster. Among eligible players the WR1, Rashee Rice was started on just three rosters. The QB1, Jordan Love was only selected twice. Nine players selected Pat Freiermuth while only two hit on Tyler Higbee’s boom week. The most popular roster put up just 54% of the maximum available points, quite the tumble from last week’s 70%.
