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 2000 Roto Champ with 1393.8 points, 80.8 ahead of the Indianapolis Colts. It was largely a two-man job: Marshall Faulk and Isaac Bruce account for 48 percent of the lineup between them. The lineup leans on its flex more than most: 6 percent of the total, about 37 percent above what that slot gave the average team this season. Their flex spot went to a receiver, Ricky Proehl. The title turned on receiver, where the St. Louis Rams were 131.3 points better, more than the 80.8 between them overall.
