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 Denver Broncos won the 1974 Roto Champ with 903.7 points, 19.5 ahead of the Oakland Raiders. Otis Armstrong led the way with 272.2 points, 30 percent of the lineup. The lineup leans on its tight end more than most: 14 percent of the total, about 36 percent above what that slot gave the average team this season. Their flex spot went to a running back, Floyd Little. One slot settled it. The Denver Broncos out-produced the Oakland Raiders by 167.6 points at running back, several times the 19.5 that separated them.
