61 fantasy football websites submitted their picks to the Fantasy Sports Trade Association (FSTA) for their 2012 Rankings Accuracy Awards. Sam Hendricks finished in the top 10 overall and 8th in RB and 5th in TE rankings.
Organized and run by the Fantasy Football Librarian (Sara Holiday) for the past six 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 NYTimes' Fifth Down Blog (http://fifthdown.blogs.nytimes.com/2013/01/23/fantasy-football-accuracy-rankings-for-2012/).
The FFLibrarian/F.S.T.A. 2012 fantasy football rankings accuracy results are as follows:
