The 2021 NFL is upon us, which means it’s officially time to dust off the book of fantasy football team names prior to Friday’s kickoff between the Bucs and the Cowboys.
Each year trades, free-agent signings, and a new influx of rookies help spawn a list of puns and innuendos that are sure to help you stand out in your league – but beware, there are a few key rules to follow.
- Don’t use a name you used in a previous season
- Avoid over-used names (see our list of cringe below)
- Don’t involve your actual name
- If you’re opting to go down the player-name route, steer clear of using retired guys. Keep it fresh!
If you’re new to fantasy, this aspect of being an owner might be a little overwhelming, so that’s why we’ve separated the guaranteed winners and losers in our complete list of the Best and Worst Fantasy Football Names of 2021.
