Another great aspect is the team names that league members come up with. These can be inside jokes, digs, or just funny puns. The latter is undoubtedly the most popular. A clever pun involving a player on your team can even get applause from people outside your league. So here are the twenty best team names for 2024.

Best Fantasy Football Team Names for 2024-25:

1. Travis Kelce could do better: Based on the people in your league, that name might get you a lot of pushback, but that’s the beauty of that name. You didn’t say what he could improve on. Considering 2023 was one of Travis Kelce’s most disappointing seasons, you could argue that you weren’t talking about Taylor Swift, you were simply pointing out that you know Kelce could do better than last season. This clearly has nothing to do with Taylor Swift. Plausible deniability. That’s the name of the game.
2. Pukachu, I choose you!: Classic name game. While there are several ways to choose the name of the Rams’ standout receiver, a Pokemon reference is always a no-brainer.
3. About Bijan Kenobi: Much like Pokemon, Star Wars is almost always a hit in a fantasy football league. With Bijan also being a popular first-round pick, building the team name around the star player is an added bonus.
4. Kupp my life in Breeces: This is your last resort. This is, of course, a joke, alluding to the iconic Papa Roach song “Last Resort.” Of course, you need Breece Hall and Cooper Kupp to make this name work. This is a tough call, but if you have the 7th or 8th pick overall in a 12-man league, this is a very plausible name.
5. Django Achane’d: Although Dolphins star running back DeVon Achane’s last name is pronounced Ay-Chan, not Ay-chain, it’s still a reference that will be instantly noticeable to your leaguemates. And when someone like me points out the pronunciation issue, you can just call them a “nerd” and they won’t be able to recover from it.
6. LaPorta Potty: This was on the list from the beginning. It is so simple, so crude, and yet remarkable.
7. HOTTO-Deebo: A notable play on words featuring San Francisco 49ers star receiver Deebo Samuel and Chappell Roan’s hit “Hot to Go.” A great team name and a phrase to send to your opponent when you beat them.
8. CeeDee EeeEffGee: There’s never a bad time to teach America’s young children the alphabet. Plus, combining the alphabet with fantasy football can get these kids addicted to the game before they even develop object permanence.
9. Keenan and Dell: Again, two players are needed: Keenan Allen from Chicago and Tank Dell from Houston. However, once both players are signed, this name is incredible and a tribute to the classic Nickelodeon show Kenan and Kel.
10. Hit me, Caleb, again: For Chicago Bears fans, the combination of rookie quarterback Caleb Williams and his star receiver DJ Moore could be a league-winning combination. This name is perfect for it.
11. Baby has Dak: Any Cowboys fan will tell you that Dak Prescott is the league’s best this year. Are they right? Probably not, but they can still show their excitement after snagging the Cowboys’ signal caller with that team name.
12. Don’t you want to be my Nabers?: Of all the Neighbors puns you could make with Malik Nabers, this one is probably the best. Not only is it an homage to the best kids’ TV show of all time, but it’s also a question that begs your league mates not to beat you up when they inevitably beat you.
13. You are not worth it: Xavier Worthy is a big hit with many this year, and choosing that name could be very fitting given Worthy’s strong connection to Patrick Mahomes as they start the season 4-0.
14. Only the Tua Us: Leagues are flooded with members calling their team “Hock Tua” or some other variation with Tagovailoa on the team. Don’t give in to the pressure. Instead, opt for something cleverer, something reminiscent of a classic 1980s jam.
15. I can wish the guys on the bench a good weekend: If you, like many others, got into fantasy football because of Travis Kelce’s relationship with Taylor Swift, here’s a very clever name that not only references your favorite musician, but also highlights your ability to play good matchups. It’s a win-win.
16. Hanging out with Mahomey: Classic. Never leaves anything to be desired. A little plain, but you certainly won’t make fun of it for this name.
17. Lights, camera, action: Remarkable wordplay also adds a bit of excitement every week.
18. Etienne-tion Please: If Etienne scores a touchdown for your team, some people are sure to get angry if you mention it in the group chat.
19. Ja’Marr the Cheerful: Ja’Marr Chase accomplishes a lot of goals and the more he accomplishes, the better your team is.
20. Conner among thieves: James Conner has been a steal in fantasy drafts over the past few seasons, so this name fits very well to have on your team. Perhaps he can impress again this year.
