3 roto titles · 57 seasons (1970–2026) · SD → LAC
Three times in 57 seasons, the Los Angeles Chargers have finished a season as Roto Champ, the last of them in 2005. Two came in straight seasons, 1981 through 1982, and then the franchise waited 23 seasons for the next one, so this is really two separate eras rather than one long run. Their average finish is 12.5 all time, against 9.6 over the last ten seasons, so the recent decade has been the better one.
The best single roto season in franchise history belongs to LaDainian Tomlinson in 2006, worth a 4.7 z-score. He owns 8 of the franchise’s 50 best seasons outright. One quirk worth knowing: the All-Franchise Team below fills strict positions, so Stan Humphries, Drew Brees and Chuck Muncie all rate above somebody who made it and still missed, purely because their position ran out.
