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

Fron Fantasy Football Index magazine (www.FantasyIndex.com)


Below is the overall recap of the 2011 Experts Poll. (Using our traditional
scoring format, anyway; we¹re doing more with other scoring systems, but
we¹re setting those aside for now).

Scott Pianowski of Yahoo! Sports was the winner this year. He was
outstanding in quarterbacks (6th), running backs (1st), tight ends (5th) and
kickers (5th). That allowed him to overcome finishing way down at 23rd among
wide receivers.

Pretzel May of FantasyDraftMaster can argue that he holds a portion of the
title. He won using the more balanced scoring systems that give more weight
to the bottom 10 guys in each top 20. But in this system, he finished 2nd,
helped along by 2nd-place finishes at running back and in the
Defense/Special Teams category.

Bob Henry (Footballguys), Lenny Pappano (DraftSharks) and Tony Holm (Fantasy
Sharks) rounded out the top 5.

The Fantasy Football Index picks aren¹t part of this poll. That¹s been a
long-standing tradition for a handful of reasons. For starters, we score the
thing. With thousands of points and calculations at stake, it¹s not right to
have a competitor in charge of the scoring. Also notably, in typical years
experts must submit their picks in mid-May. The Fantasy Index picks can be
changed in early June ­ so are we suppose to submit double lists of players
in the magazine? Sometimes something big will happen in late May or early
June; Ben Roethlisberger¹s motorcycle crash and Brett Favre¹s admission of
Vicodin addiction come to mind.

So we have settled into the gracious host role of this competition. We do,
however, run our numbers through to see how we would have fared if in the
competition. We turned out pretty solid this year. In the traditional
scoring, we would have come in No. 2 behind Pianowski. In the other two
scoring systems we¹ve discussed in the past few days, we would have moved up
into the No. 1 spot. So apparently a pretty solid year for the Fantasy Index
lists. (We¹ll list some of those numbers in the Fantasy Index Open results
tomorrow ­ that¹s our Experts Poll-like competition that¹s open to all
comers (it's a chance for readers to see how they would fare in this kind of
format).
