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 Philadelphia Eagles won the 1973 Roto Champ with 971.1 points, 0.6 ahead of the Denver Broncos, a margin of under 1 percent. Roman Gabriel led the way with 203.8 points, 21 percent of the lineup. The lineup leans on its tight end more than most: 16 percent of the total, about 60 percent above what that slot gave the average team this season. Their flex spot went to a running back, Po James. The title turned on quarterback, where the Philadelphia Eagles were 59.4 points better, several times the 0.6 that separated them.
