Fantasy Index Open

Steve Moyer leads at halfway point

The defense, kicker and tight end positions have been graded, and an investment realtor from Alameda is the overall leader. But lots of points at stake in the three remaining categories (QB, RB, WR).

We’re at the halfway point in the Fantasy Index Open, so time to take a look at the overall lay of the land. Your leaders right now include an investment realtor, a regional manager and a teacher from Canada.

Steve Moyer of Alameda, Calif., is the current leader – first in kickers and 13th in tight ends. But eight entries are within 2,000 points of him, and the big money categories still need to be graded. There tends to be more difference in the scores at QB, RB and WR.

Another Bay Area entry, Jason Howe, has maybe had the most impressive results so far. He’s been able to crack the top 20 in all three position. With 209 entries, you have about a 10 percent of finishing in the top 20 in any given category, so the odds of starting the competition in the top 20 in all three categories is less than a 10th of 1 percent. Howe is a badass.

Shane Scott, a teacher from Toronto, is in striking distance, sitting in the No. 3 spot.

Pennsylvania might be the most impressive state, with five entries in the top 20.

We’re working our way through the six categories in this competition. The overall winner of the competition – the best of the 209 entries – wins a monstrously huge trophy from the team at Affordable Trophies. They’ve partnered with us on this competition.

The top 2 finishers (the winner and the runner-up) win berths in the Fantasy Experts Poll in the magazine (which runs just the same way but is limited to 20 participants).

I’ll be at a conference for most of tomorrow, so I might not get the next position graded until Wednesday. I’ll try to get one up tomorrow evening.
