FFGuidebook.com (Sam Hendricks) finishes 13th of 25 in K and 9th in Defenses Experts in the Fantasy Index Magazine Rankings Contest

From www.FantasyIndex.com
Below are the official, final results for kickers and defenses. I did just
two scoring systems on these (the tradition 1 thru 20, and the alternate
with the last-place guys worth 11 and the No. 1 choices getting multiplied
by 30).

Readers plucked off the street won both of these categories. (We solicated
for volunteers at our website and randomly selected five who applied). How
much outside info/help these guys had, I have no idea. Picks were made in
early August (just before the kickoff of the first preseason games), so they
presumably could have had access to various draft lists produced by various
companies.

Regardless, Keith Mason of Sumter, S.C., was the winner in kickers. He was
followed by Tony Holm (FantasySharks.com) and Chris Liss (RotoWire.com).
When you go to the more balanced 11-30 scoring system, James Serra (First
Place Sports Software) moves up to the No. 1 spot, with Holm and Liss still
in those Nos. 2-3 slots.

For Defenses, they included both defense and special teams, with 6 points
for TDs and 2 for every sack, takeaway and safety. Geoff Maleman of Redondo
Beach, Calif., won this category, followed by Pretzel May and Tony Holm.

If you go to the more balanced scoring system for defenses, then each of
those top 3 spots was filled by these reader entries. Which says what? Maybe
we¹re all spending too much time overanalyzing that position? With no
injuries among defenses (no defenses missed most of the season, like with
the individual players) there was much less difference between the overall
scores ­ about a 5 percent difference between first and last.
