Fantasy Index Open

Lower Megatron ranking leads to WR victory

Bill D’Allesandro is the winner of the Wide Receivers section of the Fantasy Index Open. He made a handful of bold picks to elevate himself above the rest of the entries.

Most went with Calvin Johnson as the No. 1 receiver, D’Allesandro, from Huntington, N.Y., wisely slotted him behind Demaryius Thomas and Dez Bryant. He also benefitted from having the vision to not include Victor Cruz at all. Cruz, of course, got hurt, significantly damaging the draft boards of a lot of entries.

Peter Owers of West Palm Beach took second in this category, while Stephen Fisse of Mandeville, La., took 3rd.

With four of the six positions graded (quarterbacks and running backs remain), Mathew Straessley of Pittsburgh is the overall leader, about a thousand points ahead of Zach Leavitt of Highlands Ranch, Colo., and about two thousand ahead of James Geist of Overland Park, Kan. But the biggest scores tend to come in those final two positions.
