Fantasy Football Team Names Based on 2021 Rookies
35. Pitts Creek (Kyle Pitts)
If you needed any indication of how good people expect Kyle Pitts to be right away, he’s coming off the board as TE4 right now. The Falcons drafted him higher than any tight end in NFL history because he’s such a unique pass-catching talent and, with Julio Jones now gone, he could immediately be the second option in the aerial attack.
34. Forgetting Terrace Marshall (Terrace Marshall Jr.)
Going as WR64 in drafts, it feels like we should be talking more about Terrace Marshall Jr. He was the forgotten stud of the prolific LSU wide receiver room that won with Joe Burrow and is now in Carolina with offensive coordinator Joe Brady to reunite the two. Considering that there are targets to be had as the third wideout in the offense, Marshall could have fantasy value.
33. Najee by Nature (Najee Harris)
Sometimes workload can outweigh a bad offensive line to make a player fantasy relevant or a fantasy star, which is the case with Najee Harris in Pittsburgh and why he’s going as RB11 in drafts. The Steelers are going to feed him the rock and the rookie has enough talent to do right by an homage to a terrific 90s band.
32. Lawrence and Order (Trevor Lawrence)
Even though Trevor Lawrence was the No. 1 overall pick and has all the talent in the world, it’s still shocking to see him going as the QB14 in drafts. The Jaguars offense is far from perfect and we have no idea if Urban Meyer can coach in the NFL. Maybe he lives up to that billing/ADP but that’s a bit lofty for a rookie in his situation.
31. Waddleburger (Jaylen Waddle)
If what’s been happening at Dolphins training camp is any indication of what the 2021 season is going to hold, Jaylen Waddle should be going much higher than WR43. He’s been burning defensive backs regularly in practice and Tua Tagovailoa is in lock-step with his former Alabama teammate, which could lead to a monster rookie year for the first-round pick.
