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 New Orleans Saints won the 2008 Roto Champ with 1261.9 points, 41.1 ahead of the Arizona Cardinals. Drew Brees led the way with 302.7 points, 24 percent of the lineup. The lineup leans on its flex more than most: 8 percent of the total, about 54 percent above what that slot gave the average team this season. Their flex spot went to a running back, Deuce McAllister. Take running back out of it and the result flips: that slot alone was worth 115.5 points, more than the 41.1 between them overall.
