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 Pittsburgh Steelers won the 2015 Roto Champ with 1288.6 points, 0.7 ahead of the Arizona Cardinals, a margin of under 1 percent. Antonio Brown led the way with 322.2 points, 25 percent of the lineup. The lineup leans on its receivers more than most: 46 percent of the total, about 26 percent above what that slot gave the average team this season. Their flex spot went to a receiver, Darrius Heyward-Bey. The title turned on receiver, where the Pittsburgh Steelers were 48.4 points better, several times the 0.7 that separated them.
