Hendricks was steady across the board in the competition and this allowed him to finish 122 points ahead of the second-place competitor. Sam finished in the top 10 in defenses (7th). His other finishes included: quarterbacks (22nd), running backs (13th), wide receivers (15th), tight ends (33rd), and kickers (11th). Due to a change in the scoring system this year, more weight was given to the lesser picks. This new system proved to be a boon for Hendricks and he was crowned Grand Champion. As the "king" of this year's competition, Hendricks was awarded a large 19" football trophy worthy of any fine trophy case. The trophy was graciously donated to the Fantasy Index Open by Affordable Trophies (see photo on website). In addition, the winner of this competition also earns a berth in the sister competition, the Fantasy Index Experts Poll. Since Hendricks is already a member of the Experts Panel and has been in that competition for the past five years, his at-large berth will go to the second place finisher.
