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 Baltimore Ravens won the 1976 Roto Champ with 1118.2 points, 83.0 ahead of the Oakland Raiders. Lydell Mitchell led the way with 253.5 points, 23 percent of the lineup. The lineup leans on its quarterback more than most: 21 percent of the total, about 31 percent above what that slot gave the average team this season. Their flex spot went to a running back, Roosevelt Leaks. The title turned on running back, where the Baltimore Ravens were 146.7 points better, more than the 83.0 between them overall.
