Best Fantasy Football Team Names

This year’s waiver wire studs and breakout players have also produced some breakout fantasy team names. Topping the list would have to be “Moats and Hoes.” Ryan Moats, the one game wonderboy/flameout, also gave us the gem “Honey Bunches of Moats.” Moats may be a trivial fantasy player for the rest of his short career, but his team names shall live on forever! (such as “Men Who Stare at Moats”)

Speaking of trivia, my buddies have a new site all about Trivia Team Names. Check that one out if you like to mix a little bar trivia into your busy schedule of searching Rotoworld and adjusting your fantasy line ups on two different sites. You can find some nice Tiger Woods team names already.

Waiver Wire Stud Justin Forsett scored a nice team name with “Ease it in, don’t Forsett.” The way Forsett runs he won’t be easing anything in. The Seahawks have an incredible player there. At the time of this writing they are still starting Julius Jones, though, so Jim Mora must care more about not hurting feelings than winning.

Breakout Player Brent Celek gives us the “Toyota Celekas.” Rookie Percy Harvin gives us “Please, have Percy” and “Farvin for Harvin.” Texas Chainsaw Massaquoi is probably my fave.

From the ridiculous file “Chilliiiiiii’s, Brady Back Ribs…BBQ MOSS!”

Everyone’s favorite team name over at FantasyTeamNames.net, “Somewhere Over DeWayne Bowe,” has to win name of the year.

FantasyTeamNames.net never fails to deliver.

Chad Ochocinco is a drama machine. He’s Terrell Owens Lite, and maybe even more babyish. If you draft him you pretty much have to name your team after him. Perhaps that is why “Chad Lost His Johnson” is rapidly climbing the most popular team names list. It’s simply brilliant.

Favre Team names are going strong as well. The “Forty Year Old Viking” is a big winner. FlipFlopFavre and FavrefromRetiring aren’t too shabby.

From the legal-issues department we have “Donte Drink and Drive” and “Kibbles and Vick,” both top 20s.

Despite the drama bomb players getting most of the good team name action, the top two team names are from lower profile guys. Breaston Plants is just too easy and has shot up the ranks to number 2. Perhaps the best team name of all time, “Somewhere Over DeWayne Bowe,” has caught on like wildfire to rise to #1. Taste DeWayne Bowe is also very nice. Team name section to FantasyListings.com should be coming soon.

In the average league, about a third of the participants have a good team name. The other third has the name that they keep year over year. These may be decent names, but keeping the same name every year is so dull. The final third just writes anything, and they are the worse. In one of my baseball leagues my friend’s team name has been “Name for Now” the entire season. If you can’t put at least a little bit of effort into a team name you should just be kicked out of the league. There are lots of different approaches for creating a good fantasy football team name. We’ll take a look at a few of them here.

Football Player Pun Team names, as detailed in the blog below this one, are the easiest good names to create. Thankfully professional athletes have names like Flacco, Pujols, Witten, and Favre. These names are just fodder example - “Witten her Pujols Flacco, came out Huard.” Check out the earlier blogs for more examples.

I’m a fan of the team names that make fun of players mistakes and misfortunes. Plaxico’s Gun and Pawn, Harris Smith’s Applebee’s Experience, Tatum Bell’s Airport Security, Belichick’s Video Rentals, and Travis Henry is my Dad all resonate with the avid football fan. How about McDonald’s Wrapper 1, Brandon Marshall 0? They’re not hard to come up with and at least put a smile on this guy’s face.

If the above doesn’t do it for you, try beingsexual or gross. Feely my Breastons, Multiple Scoregasms, 2 Mannings 1 Cup, and Betty White Gang Bang are all solid . Also, nobody can fault you for naming your team 8======D.

Hope you come up with a good one this season!

The easiest, and often funniest, witty fantasy team names are puns based on the player names. These names can take all forms. Some are fun and harmless while others I’ve seen are gross and offensive. Below I’ll list a few of the better ones I’ve seen.

Favre Dollar Footlong - The #1 all time fantasy football team name on fantasyteamnames.net knocks it out of the park. Every diehard Sunday football watcher has seen the subway commercial ten million times. The song is ingrained into our minds, and somehow it stays catchy. Much catchier than the ridiculous Toyota “Saved by Zeroooooo” song that also played every 2008 NFL commercial break. Throw the exasperating Brett Favre into the name and for some reason its just really funny. At this point just about everything Favre-related is funny to me, though.

I Just Witten My Pants - The higher profile the player, the better the team name. Especially if it involved accidental bowel movements. I have personally used this team name on two different Witten-rostered teams. Grab Witten in the fourth round and immediately change your name to this.

2 Inches Flacco, 4 Inches Huard - A WELL DONE DOUBLE PLAYER NAME PUN! HOLY SHIT! This one is legendary. Way too long to fit on a Yahoo team name in this form, but shorten it to 2″Flacco4″Huard and you’re set.

Ahman the Inactive List Again - I guess Ahman Green is no longer fantasy relevant, but his last few years in the league were absurd. Who knows, maybe the Broncos will sign him so that he can have one more glorious year in the training room.

Mendenhally Retarded - Welcome to fantasy football, Rashard. It’s a harsh world. I just thought this one was particularly witty for some reason. When Rashard is the main man in Pittsburgh in a couple years I may be using this one myself.
