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 Oakland Raiders won the 2002 Roto Champ with 1310.1 points, 58.8 ahead of the Kansas City Chiefs. It was largely a two-man job: Rich Gannon and Charlie Garner account for 46 percent of the lineup between them. The lineup leans on its quarterback more than most: 23 percent of the total, about 24 percent above what that slot gave the average team this season. Their flex spot went to a running back, Zack Crockett. The Kansas City Chiefs had the better lineup at three of the five slots and still lost, undone at receiver by 190.9 points.
