32 Funny fantasy football team names inspired by 2021 NFL Draft prospects
By Zach Cohen
If you’re in need of funny fantasy football team names to use for this season, we have 32 great ones inspired by 2021 NFL Draft prospects.
So you need help coming up with a fantasy football team name? Well, you may have come to the right place. Emphasis on the “may” because this is a list that only includes rookies from the 2021 NFL Draft. Similar to my 30 funny team names for 2020 NFL Draft prospects from last year, this list is a compilation of original nicknames for your fantasy football team.
Just be warned: Your team may be a winner, but not all of these names are. Luckily, alternatives are provided for most players, which is why the title says “32 Funny Team Names.”
If you feel like any obvious ones are missed, feel free to reach out and let me know where I went wrong.
Funny Fantasy Football Team Names: Rookie Quarterbacks
Trevor Lawrence: Lawrence and Order
Maybe he can finally bring some order to Jacksonville. (May I also interest you in Lawrence and Repeat?)
Zach Wilson: Good Wilson Hunting
The “Zach” puns are endless here, so it’s not your fault if you settle for one of them.
Trey Lance: 50 Shades of Trey
Fans of the books/movies and 49ers fans may disagree on what number to use. This can also be used for 49ers’ running back Trey Sermon, though he gets his own team name later.
Justin Fields: Fields of Dreams
I mean, it’s too easy, right? It’d be too bad if the Bears end up moving out of Soldier Field, though.
Mac Jones: Game of Jones
There are way too many Mac puns to list here, so let’s stick with a classic. Fans of the hit show may have used this name before, though fans of a certain snack may prefer The Mac That Smiles Back.
Funny Fantasy Football Team Names: Rookie Running Backs
Najee Harris: Najee and the Beast
Interpret what ‘The Beast’ means at your own risk. A more kid-friendly name could pay homage to his incredible skillset with American Najee Warrior.
Travis Etienne: Etienne, Phone Home
Google it, kids.
Javonte Williams: The Javonte Redemption
Hopefully, Williams escapes from the worst situation in fantasy football: A running back committee.
Michael Carter: Carterassic Park
The name Michael Carter is bland enough, so I tried to get creative. Not hybrid-dinosaur creative, but close enough.
Trey Sermon: Golden Trey Warriors
San Francisco residents may be jumping through hoops with all these 49er-themed names.
Funny Fantasy Football Team Names: Rookie Wide Receivers
Ja’Marr Chase: Chase Jam
The rookie wide receiver made SEC cornerbacks look like pre-magic Monstars, but if this classic basketball flick isn’t up to your speed, try The Amazing Chase.
Jaylen Waddle: WaddleVision
Waddle’s highlight reel at Alabama is simply magical, though the older crowd may prefer a trip back to 1984 with Van Jaylen.
DeVonta Smith: DeVonta’s Inferno
The former Heisman winner was on fire in 2020, hence this name. Any ‘with’ pun works, too. You may even consider Star Wars: Revenge of the Smith.
Kadarius Toney: Toney’d For Speed
All aboard the Kadarius Express!
Rashod Bateman: Bateman Begins
It’s not who you draft, but what you do with those picks that defines you. (I couldn’t think of a better quote, I’m sorry.)
Elijah Moore: Big Little Elijah
Don’t worry, there are infinitely Moore puns to go around here…
Rondale Moore: Rick and Moore D
…like this one!
Terrace Marshall: Forgetting Terrace Marshall
Recycling this from the Brandon Marshall days.
Amon-Ra St. Brown: St. Brown Sugar
Not a Rolling Stones Fan? Try out St. Brown Eyed Girl.
Funny Fantasy Football Team Names: Rookie Tight Ends
Kyle Pitts: Pitts Creek
Yes, there are many other words that rhyme with Pitts, but this is a family site.
Pat Freiermuth: Catcher in the Freiermuth
The phonies may demand a better name, but all I could think of was Fountain of Freiermuth.
Tommy Tremble: Tremble in Paradise
Want a peek into the creative process behind this article? Just replace ‘trouble’ with Tremble.
Next. Best 2021 NFL breakout candidate for every team. dark
Brevin Jordan: Stairway to Brevin
Not sure why there were so many references to ‘80s and ‘90s music. It makes me wonder.
