0 roto titles · 57 seasons (1970–2026)
The Washington Commanders are still chasing a first Roto Champ title. They got nearest in 1983, 2nd of 28. They have finished in the top three three times without ever closing it out. Their average finish is 16.2 all time, against 20.6 over the last ten seasons, a step down from the franchise norm.
The best single roto season in franchise history belongs to Terry Allen in 1996, worth a 3.2 z-score. Chris Cooley is the franchise’s most persistent roto presence, owning 5 of its 50 best seasons. The All-Franchise Team below is strictly positional, which is hard on Billy Kilmer, Mike Thomas and Alfred Morris: each rates above somebody who made a team, but every slot at their position was already spoken for.
