5. Livin’ La Vita Vea

Player: Vita Vea, DT, Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Current ADP: N/A (Tampa Bay D)
2017 Stats: N/A (in college)

A spin on Ricky Martin’s classic, Livin’ La Vida Loca, this name just knocks it out of the park. It may not work for everyone — especially those macho football fans who want you to think they never listened to Ricky Martin — but for plenty it’ll strike the perfect chord.

Either that, or you’re a Tampa Bay Buccaneers fan who no longer wants to use a Jameis Winston-themed fantasy football team name. It’s understandable. Plus, it’s not like there’s a whole lot to look forward to in 2018 beyond the development of some of your recent draft picks.

One in particular would be Vita Vea, the Buccaneers’ mammoth defensive tackle and 2018 first-round pick. A colossal presence along the interior of the defensive line, the rookie should pair with Gerald McCoy to form a brick wall for opposing running games. Although it’s unclear if Vea will be able to pressure passers at the next level, he should make an instant impact as a lane clogger.

Don’t, however, touch the Buccaneers defense. They were skewered all season long in 2017, and didn’t make significant upgrades on that side of the ball this offseason beyond adding Vea and Jason Pierre-Paul. Barring some surprise turnaround, they should stay on the waiver wire for most of the 2018 campaign.
