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 Dallas Cowboys won the 1977 Roto Champ with 938.1 points, 41.8 ahead of the Baltimore Ravens. Tony Dorsett led the way with 221.9 points, 24 percent of the lineup. The lineup leans on its flex more than most: 12 percent of the total, about 37 percent above what that slot gave the average team this season. Their flex spot went to a running back, Robert Newhouse. One slot settled it. The Dallas Cowboys out-produced the Baltimore Ravens by 51.1 points at flex, more than the 41.8 between them overall.
