Roto Champ
Every NFL team scored as a roto fantasy team. The title the NFL never hands out.
▶How is it scored?
Lineup: every team is its best possible starting lineup by that season’s fantasy points. QB · RB · RB · WR · WR · WR · TE · FLEX, in ½PPR.
Scoring: football is a points game, not categories. The lineup’s total ½PPR points is the team’s score, and the highest total wins the title.
A team can be Roto Champ without winning the real title: that gap is the whole fun.

The Oakland Raiders won the 1970 Roto Champ with 934.8 points, 49.9 ahead of the New York Giants. Warren Wells led the way with 184.4 points, 20 percent of the lineup. The lineup leans on its receivers more than most: 39 percent of the total, about 51 percent above what that slot gave the average team this season. Their flex spot went to a running back, Marv Hubbard. The title turned on receiver, where the Oakland Raiders were 175.5 points better, several times the 49.9 that separated them.
