Mock Auction

Ian Allan wins Fantasy Index Experts Mock Auction League

Huge final week propels him to championship

Fantasy Index publisher Ian Allan went 11-0 in Week 16 and vaulted to the top of our Fantasy Index Mock Auction league. Ian finished with a record of 108-64-4 -- a winning percentage of .625 -- to top the league of professional fantasy analysts.

Ian was surprised to be in contention for the championship. "With Dennis Pitta, Michael Crabtree and Vick Ballard out for the year before the season started, I figured I didn’t have a shot. I also missed on Montee Ball, Tavon Austin and Justin Blackmon. But I guess other teams also ran into plenty of problems."

But Ian finished strong, going a combined 33-0 in weeks 13, 14 and 16, and he leapfrogged second-place finisher Scott Sachs in the final week of the season. He got major contributions down the stretch from DeMarco Murray and Andy Dalton.

Each year we conduct a mock auction in May, and the results are published in Fantasy Football Index magazine. The experts -- professional fantasy football analysts, plus the reigning runner up of the Fantasy Index Super League -- were given a $200 budget to assemble a roster of 22 players.

The experts' teams competed during the season on a 'best-ball" basis. Each week, every team competed against all 11 other teams in the league. Teams in our best-ball leagues aren't managed. The expert owners don't pick a starting lineup and there are no free agents. Instead, each team is awarded its best possible starting lineup after the games are played each week.

Scott Sachs of Perfect Season Fantasy Football finished second overall (103-70-3 / .594). The other expert analysts roasted Sachs for spending a combined $54 on Drew Brees, Matt Ryan and Matt Schaub. His strategy seems to have paid off, though. Ryan was his best-ball quarterback in Weeks 1, 2, 5, 7, 11, 13 and 16.

Alex Miglio of Pro Football Focus finished third overall (102-71-3 / .588).

We don't claim that these standings are a true measure of each analyst's skill. Sheerly through bad luck, some teams lost key players and were unable to replace them through waivers.
