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 Kansas City Chiefs won the 2018 Roto Champ with 1494.5 points, 80.2 ahead of the Los Angeles Rams. It was largely a two-man job: Patrick Mahomes and Tyreek Hill account for 47 percent of the lineup between them. The lineup leans on its tight end more than most: 16 percent of the total, about 74 percent above what that slot gave the average team this season. Their flex spot went to a running back, Spencer Ware. Curiously, the Los Angeles Rams won three of the five slot matchups. The tight end gap of 173.0 points swallowed all of it.
