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 Green Bay Packers won the 1997 Roto Champ with 1193.6 points, 16.5 ahead of the Denver Broncos, a margin of under 1 percent. It was largely a two-man job: Brett Favre and Dorsey Levens account for 46 percent of the lineup between them. The lineup leans on its quarterback more than most: 23 percent of the total, about 26 percent above what that slot gave the average team this season. Their flex spot went to a running back, Aaron Hayden. One slot settled it. The Green Bay Packers out-produced the Denver Broncos by 49.5 points at receiver, several times the 16.5 that separated them.
