Quarterback Stars (QBs)
The NFL is a passing league. Perhaps quarterbacks don’t distinguish themselves in fantasy scoring as much as backs and receivers, but they still have the biggest brands.

Creative Fantasy Football Names
Here are a few original fantasy naming ideas to get you thinking outside the typical ideas.
Not My Only Fantasy League – Let other owners know you can take or leave this measly league.
No Team Scheduled – Maybe another owner will think they have a bye week and not submit a line-up. You’re not above trying to sneak a win.
Run Around the Blocks – Clever fantasy football nicknames that are fresh and original are hard to come by. Get back to the basics with common football terms.
You’re Not That Guy! – Directly threaten the other team’s owner. You’re not that guy who can beat my team. If you’ve checked out TikTok recently, you know where this one is coming from.
GOAT Team – The greatest of all time. A modest approach is sure to win favor with fellow owners.
Big Yikes – Yes, now we’re coming around to the truth. You have no idea what you’re doing.
How Do I Name My Team? Expert Tips For Name Selection
A whole lot of thought goes into naming a team for most fantasy players. Here are some factors to consider.
1.) Originality counts. Make your fantasy football team name one that resonates with you. A white squirrel called our neck of the woods home for an extended period of time. A team owner in our neighborhood league won the name game by calling his team the “Albino Squirrels.”
2.) Logo possibilities. Ask yourself, “Does my team name bring some good logo ideas to mind?” Some of the best names lend themselves easily to logo treatments.
3.) Use your star power. The player you draft first, or your team’s QB, should be considered for your team’s name. If you’re fortunate enough to draft Patrick Mahomes, there are a lot of play-on-words for team names for the KC quarterback. Give them strong consideration.
4.) Know your audience. Be very cautious about using vulgarity if you’re playing in a company league or with folks you don’t know well.
5.) Memorable. Ask yourself if your selected name is easy to remember.
6.) Research. Check out our article on How to Win the Name Game. Plus, ask friends and family for feedback.
