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 St. Louis Rams won the 1999 Roto Champ with 1305.6 points, 79.2 ahead of the Carolina Panthers. It was largely a two-man job: Marshall Faulk and Kurt Warner account for 49 percent of the lineup between them. The lineup leans on its quarterback more than most: 23 percent of the total, about 29 percent above what that slot gave the average team this season. Their flex spot went to a receiver, Ricky Proehl. The Carolina Panthers had the better lineup at three of the five slots and still lost, undone at running back by 201.4 points.
