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 1986 Roto Champ with 1358.9 points, 165.3 clear of the Cincinnati Bengals and never really pressed. Dan Marino led the way with 319.5 points, 24 percent of the lineup. The lineup leans on its quarterback more than most: 24 percent of the total, about 38 percent above what that slot gave the average team this season. Their flex spot went to a running back, Ron Davenport. No one slot decided this. The Miami Dolphins were ahead at three of five, most of all at receiver.
