Don’t stop at the team name.
A good fantasy football name gets the group chat started. Punishments, trophies, league traditions and loser gifts are what make the season memorable.
Keep it short
Short names look better in standings, matchup screens and screenshots.
Make it league-specific
Draft mistakes, rivalries and commissioner jokes usually hit harder than generic football references.
Player puns work
They are strongest when the player is actually on your roster and the joke survives more than one week.
Keep the receipts
The best last place punishments get much funnier when the league can point back to the preseason trash talk.

What happens if my team finishes last?
