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 England Patriots won the 2017 Roto Champ with 1286.3 points, 16.8 ahead of the New Orleans Saints, a margin of under 1 percent. Tom Brady led the way with 295.9 points, 23 percent of the lineup. The lineup leans on its tight end more than most: 15 percent of the total, about 52 percent above what that slot gave the average team this season. Their flex spot went to a running back, James White. The title turned on tight end, where the New England Patriots were 140.4 points better, several times the 16.8 that separated them.
