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 San Diego Chargers won the 1982 Roto Champ with 856.9 points, 182.2 clear of the Cincinnati Bengals and never really pressed. Wes Chandler led the way with 184.9 points, 22 percent of the lineup. The lineup leans on its tight end more than most: 16 percent of the total, about 55 percent above what that slot gave the average team this season. Their flex spot went to a tight end, Eric Sievers. No one slot decided this. The San Diego Chargers were ahead at four of five, most of all at receiver.
