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 Buffalo Bills won the 1991 Roto Champ with 1289.1 points, 63.1 ahead of the Washington Commanders. Thurman Thomas led the way with 306.8 points, 24 percent of the lineup. The production is spread much as the rest of the league spread it, with no slot doing unusual work. Their flex spot went to a receiver, Keith McKeller. The Washington Commanders were ahead at three slots, including receiver, and it counted for nothing against 115.6 points at running back.
