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 Miami Dolphins won the 1984 Roto Champ with 1400.3 points, 89.1 ahead of the St. Louis Cardinals. It was largely a two-man job: Dan Marino and Mark Clayton account for 46 percent of the lineup between them. The lineup leans on its quarterback more than most: 26 percent of the total, about 47 percent above what that slot gave the average team this season. Their flex spot went to a tight end, Bruce Hardy. One slot settled it. The Miami Dolphins out-produced the St. Louis Cardinals by 197.3 points at receiver, more than the 89.1 between them overall.
