50 Funny Fantasy Football Team Names for 2021

Funny Fantasy Football Team Names

After you draft your fantasy team, you need to name it, but coming up with funny fantasy football team names is be harder than you think. You want a team name that makes the other owners in your league laugh but still respect you throughout the NFL season. You want to be funny yet feared. You don’t want to set yourself up for any potential trash talk based on your team name if and when you lose a week.

Why is a Fantasy Team Name Important?

Some fantasy owners believe that naming your fantasy team is a lot like naming a boat. There are some superstitions involved. For example, some believe that whatever name you decide on, you need to stick with it for as long as you own the team. Changing your team name mid-season can be viewed as back luck. I for one tend to agree with this, however, I will change my team name to “The Walking Dead” or “Meat Wagon” at the end of the season if my fantasy team is injured and has no chance of making it to the post-season. But for the most part, I try to never re-name my fantasy team mid-season.

Tips for Great Fantasy Team Names

The best funny fantasy football team names are usually inside jokes with your buddies or league owners. Although off the wall wacky names are good too. If your league is an office pool, it would be smart not to pick names that are too vulgar or offensive. The league owners may not mind, but you want to be able to use your name in the break room out loud.

A new trend in Fantasy Football leagues is to have a theme for a season. Like Game of Thrones, Star Wars, or classic old school TV shows like Seinfeld, even WWE Wrestling. You can name your division’s similar names or jokes that fit the mold. Some fantasy owners also go all out and trash talk in character mannerisms when making jokes like Yoda, or use cliche sayings like Macho Man. It can be fun, it can also get old fast, so make sure you stay sharp with your trash talk.
