The Blackout showed up in a big way in Week 18. The top two QBs and the top three RBs were blacked out. Three of the top four WRs were unavailable. You would have had to reach all the way down to TE8 on the week to find the second highest TE score among available players. This week didn’t have as high of a ceiling as last week, but the deep cuts from the Blackout made up most of the massive tumble in the available points. The perfect score was 49.20 points lower.

Los Pollos Hermanos did have a great season. Besides taking the top spot in the final week, they also have an 8th and a 13th place finish. A total of eight weeks in the top 100 helped them to a 29th place finish. At the top of the standing, DT BOMBERS made a valiant effort, finishing 28th in the final week. However, the team that has dominated the top of the leaderboard since Week 8, The Mighty Grimmace’s, was not to be caught. Their 47th place finish was good enough to finish in the top spot with a 39.90 point margin. Congratulations Mighty Grimmace’s on an amazing season! Here’s a look at the Top 25 Overall:
