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 Baltimore Ravens won the 1996 Roto Champ with 1187.1 points, 30.7 ahead of the Denver Broncos. Vinny Testaverde led the way with 277.9 points, 23 percent of the lineup. The lineup leans on its quarterback more than most: 23 percent of the total, about 30 percent above what that slot gave the average team this season. Their flex spot went to a tight end, Eric Green. The Denver Broncos had the better lineup at three of the five slots and still lost, undone at receiver by 220.8 points.
