Larry has a punchers chance after jumping into the top-80 with this win. How is your entry looking with just three games to go?<\/p>\n<p><a href=\" https:\/\/fantasyindex.com\/members\/competitions\/2025\/blackout\/entry\/187\" target=\"_new\"> Week 16 of the Blackout competition is LIVE!<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Pitts was the third most selected tight end but appeared on just 17-percent of rosters. His massive 45.60 points were over 20 points higher than the 2nd eligible tight end, making him a must start for anyone wanting to contend this week.  James Cook and Travis Etienne were the second and third most selected backs, appearing on around one third of rosters while Nico Collins was included in nearly half of entries. Larry\u2019s team got consistent production from all but one position and earned 74-percent of the available points. Here is this week\u2019s winning roster :<\/p>\n<p>The most popular roster selected four top scoring players but netted just 57-percent of the available points. Saquon Barkley was the most selected back (38-percent) but scored 13 fewer points than Cook and Etienne, giving a distinct advantage to managers who passed on him. Nico came through in a big way but fellow low-hanging fruits Rashee Rice and George Pickens busted by Blackout standards. The 49ers Defense did absolutely no favors for the 54-percent of managers who started them. Take a look at the most selected roster of Week 15:<\/p>\n<p>Seven of the top scoring players were blacked out this week and the perfect roster topped 300 points again. It was a mix of popular plays like Cook, Etienne, Pinero and Collins with several deep cuts upsetting expectations. Both top scoring quarterbacks appeared on less than 6-percent of rosters, with only a handful of managers selecting the QB2 Bo Nix. Less than 3-percent of entries included his teammate, Courtland Sutton, who finished as the WR2 and Jameson Williams took the top spot. He has finished with more than 16.5 points in eight of the Lion\u2019s last ten games but scored zero in the other two. Here is the max points roster:<\/p>\n<p>Plano Guru won the week and is sitting at 75th overall. It would take a couple more wins to climb the leader board but he\u2019s taken the first step. Nostrildamus finished 13th this week, his best finish and 8th in the top 80. That was good enough to vault from 7th all the way into the top spot. Donald D. has controlled the leader board for several weeks but finished outside the top 250 to fall to 6th. Ian Allan had the 27th best roster this week and is once again just outside the top 10. Here is a look at the Top 25 overall through 1 weeks:<\/p>\n<p>Here\u2019s a look at the Top 25 from this week :<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Larry Heffelfinger from Plano, TX started six top scoring players, including of course, Kyle Pitts.
