Welcome to Fantasy Football Team Naming Season, where the only thing more important than your first-round pick is your team’s name.

Sure, you could go with something boring like “John’s Team” or “Gridiron Warriors” (not hating, but yawn), but you’re better than that! You deserve a name that makes your league mates laugh, groan, or question your sanity just a little. Whether you’re here to flex your puns, rep your favorite player, or just find the perfect combo of dad-joke and trash-talk, I’ve got you covered.

Below is a list of 128 fantasy football team names that range from clever to slightly cringe-worthy, player-based to totally absurd. Use one, steal a few, or let them inspire your masterpiece. Either way, your team’s name is about to be the real MVP (most valuable pun — ok, I’m sorry, enough dad jokes…for now). 

Let’s dive in.
