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 Detroit Lions won the 1995 Roto Champ with 1347.0 points, 50.5 ahead of the Green Bay Packers. It was largely a two-man job: Herman Moore and Scott Mitchell account for 46 percent of the lineup between them. The lineup leans on its receivers more than most: 52 percent of the total, about 33 percent above what that slot gave the average team this season. Their flex spot went to a tight end, Ron Hall. The Green Bay Packers were ahead at four slots, including tight end, and it counted for nothing against 263.2 points at receiver.
