raiderfish Wins Blackout

Ronald Fisher from Hollister, CA took an alliterative approach at receiver and claimed a narrow victory behind Wilson (WR1), Watson (WR2) and Waddle (WR5).

Week 15 of the Blackout competition is LIVE!

Michael Wilson, in three games without Marvin Harrison, has averaged over 30 points in the Blackout. He’s also finished as the WR1 twice in that span. Yet his selection rate this week was under 20-percent! His dominant outings are becoming too predictable, so he's blacked out this week. Christian Watson has provided a somewhat similar surprise in recent weeks. He’s averaged 18.43 over the last four but as a player who is boom/bust by design, I’ll let you take a chance with him this week. Jaylen Waddle is a spicy pick, he’s the WR16 by average in this year’s Blackout, but he hit for Ronald this week. RJ Harvey has topped 20 points in back-to-back games. I was shocked to see his selection rate under 15-percent. Overall, Ronald submitted a great roster and netted 74-percent of the available points. Here is this week’s winning roster :

The most popular roster selected just two top scoring players but managed some decent scores at quarterback and running back. The biggest busts were the pass catchers with Davante Adams rewarding the 63-percent of managers who selected him with under 7 points. Travis Kelce returned just 1.9 points for the 44-percent who started him. The Wisdom of the Crowd roster scored just 53-percent of the available points in total. Take a look:

The perfect roster is full of unexpected names with only Joe Burrow and the Seahawks Defense garnering significant support. Shedur Sanders shocked all but one Blackout manager with his QB1 performance. Whoever you are, Bravo! Not a single entry included Tony Pollard who finished as the RB1 and nine top scorers were selected on fewer than 15-percent of rosters. Here is the max points roster:
