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 Indianapolis Colts won the 2006 Roto Champ with 1277.8 points, 68.4 ahead of the Los Angeles Chargers. Peyton Manning led the way with 309.5 points, 24 percent of the lineup. The lineup leans on its quarterback more than most: 24 percent of the total, about 36 percent above what that slot gave the average team this season. Their flex spot went to a tight end, Ben Utecht. The title turned on receiver, where the Indianapolis Colts were 251.9 points better, several times the 68.4 that separated them.
