Best Fantasy Football Team Names For 2022

Naming your fantasy football team got a whole lot easier thanks to this list of funny names.
Jay Biggerstaff/USA TODAY Sports

Fantasy football draft season is well underway, and while most fantasy players are researching who to draft, finalizing their draft strategies and printing cheatsheets, some fantasy football managers are hard at work trying to come up with a great team name for their fantasy squad.

Fantasy team names run the gamut; from funny to intimidating to ironic, it all depends on the personality of the team’s manager and sometimes the players on that roster. Some creative team names are derived from a TV show, movie, famous song or band, while others fall directly into “dad-joke” territory.

Fantasy football is entertaining, competitive, and sometimes frustrating. But naming your fantasy football team should be fun, so make sure to get some enjoyment out of it.
