Curt battled his way to the top in Week 6 with consistency from top to bottom. He started the WR1, Garrett Wilson along with the PK1, Jake Bates and managed to put a top 7 player in every roster spot! Team CDUB started a season high 5 max scoring players and despite this week being the most aggressive Blackout yet, his score is good for third highest top score of the season. (Click through to see his winning lineup, the perfect lineup for the week, the most frequently picked players, and the overall top 25.)
Thanks to everyone for participating in Week 6’s “Mo Mercy” bounce back after last week’s AFC Bonanza. In Week 7 the Blackout will be back to normal. To celebrate no bye weeks, the Top 3 players at each position will be available in Week 8!
Week 7 of the Blackout is live
Kurt threaded the needle to come out on top in an incredibly close contest. All five of the top rosters included Jalen Hurts(QB7), Terry McLaurin(WR3) and Sam Laporta(TE5) as well as Jake Bates(PK1) and Ka’imi Fairbairn(PK2). What set Curt’s roster apart was the complete lack of mistakes. The biggest separation came from WR where team CDUB beat the average of the other top finishers by just 5.98%. The 3rd place roster started the same 3 WRs, but tripped up with Jamyr Gibbs(RB14). Two others were derailed by Tee Higgins(WR15) and DJ Moore(WR34) while the second place finisher was almost perfect except for a disappointing outing from David Njoku (TE10).

Unlike most weeks, where a percentage of the top scoring players make it into the player pool, this week there were no restrictions on the Blackout and the results were clear. Seven of the top scoring players were ineligible, a season high. That included the QB1, Baker Mayfield as well as his top target and the WR1 on the week, Chris Godwin. Four of the top five tight ends and place kickers were unavailable as well. Take a look at the highest possible scoring roster:

The field held its own admirably against the No Mercy player pool. Five players from the perfect score roster made the most selected squad this week including the top DST, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and the RB2, Bijan Robinson. The top scoring roster has been littered with single digit starts all season but this week things tightened up considerably. Only the RB1, Joe Mixon and the WR2, Alan Lazard caught the field by surprise this week appearing on just 4 and 2 rosters respectively. The most selected roster put up an elite 65.2% of the total points available.

I’m not trying to start a panic after just Week 6 but it wouldn’t be a bad idea to set your sights on GREGH987 now. Entering his 5th consecutive week atop the Leaderboard, and increasing his margin to 49.75 GREGH987 is clearly the manger to beat in 2024. He finished 16th this week. He now has 3 Top 10 finishes, a Top 20 and a Top 30 and his dud in Week 4 is basically the only reason the rest of us are still in this contest. Stay sharp Indexers, let’s try to give GREGH987 a run for his money. Here’s a look at the Top 25 Overall:
