3 roto titles · 57 seasons (1970–2026)
There are three Roto Champ titles in Denver Broncos history, spread across 57 seasons, the latest in 2014. The first arrived in 1974, and then nothing at all for 39 seasons, which makes the recent title the start of a second era rather than a continuation. Their average finish is 14.3 all time, against 22.0 over the last ten seasons, a steep fall from the franchise norm.
The best single roto season in franchise history belongs to Shannon Sharpe in 1996, worth a 4.4 z-score. He owns 9 of the franchise’s 50 best seasons outright. Read the All-Franchise Team below knowing its slots are strict: Rick Upchurch, Brian Griese and Brandon Marshall all out-rate somebody who made it, and missed only because their position ran out of room.
