Sam Hendricks, aka FFGuidebook.com, finishes 9th Overall for second straight year in FSTA Ranking Accuracy Awards

59 fantasy football websites submitted their picks to the Fantasy Sports Trade Association (FSTA) for their 2013 Rankings Accuracy Awards. Sam Hendricks finished in the top 10 overall for the second straight year. Both years FFGuidebook.com has finished 9th overall among his many peers.

Organized and run by the Fantasy Football Librarian (Sara Holiday) for the past seven years (with the FSTA), these awards compare experts' preseason rankings to how the players really ranked after the season ended to determine who is the best at ranking fantasy players. 

The results were presented at the FSTA Winter Conference recently and on the FF Librarian Blog.
