Best, funniest fantasy football team names for 2020

Best, funniest fantasy football team names for 2020 image

Some will tell you that studying rankings and auction values is the most important part of your preseason fantasy preparation; others will say it's coming up with a sleeper list or draft cheat sheet. Do those things matter? Sure, I guess...I don't know. Who cares? We all know what really matters -- what can make or break your season and determine if it's successful before the first down of football is played in  2020 -- is whether you come up with a funny or creative fantasy football team name. Better yet -- coming up with the best fantasy team name. 

We already know this season is going to be crazy, which is saying something since fantasy football seasons are always crazy. You still have to worry about first-round picks tearing their ACLs and other starters being taken out near the goal, but now you also have to worry about a dude going on the COVID-19 reserve list the morning of a game. There's nothing you can do about any of that, so focus on the one thing you can control: Your team name.

DOMINATE YOUR DRAFT: Ultimate 2020 cheat sheet

Not all of our player-name puns are winners. For every "Chark Week" there's a "Cute As a Sutton." (Can you tell which is supposed to be the good one?) We have some lengthy ones, like "I Live in a Van Down By the River" and some quick-hitters, like "Boyd Rage." There are pandemic-related suggestions, like "Drew Lockdown," "Stay in Mahomes," and "We're Allen in This Together," as well as politically inspired ones, like "Gallup Poll," "Ad Hockenson Committee," "Cooper d'etat," and "The Mixon Administration." Don't worry, though -- we have something for the Left ("Green New Deal") and the Right ("Build The Waller!"). We're inclusive like that. 

2020 STANDARD FANTASY RANKINGS:
Quarterback | Running back | Wide receiver | Tight end | D/ST | Kicker | Superflex | Top 200

Of course, we also have some classics, like "Lamar the Merrier," "Last Night I Took an El(liott)," "Another 'Quon Bites the Dust," "Finding Deebo," and "Chubby Chasers," as well as new favorites, such as "Batman and Dobbins," "Call of Jeudy," "Jalen Thee Stallion", "Burrowito Bowl," and "Fresh Prince of Helaire."

2020 PPR RANKINGS:
Running back | Wide receiver | Tight end | Superflex | Top 200

We'll fully admit we're volume shooters with our list of potential team names. We've been compiling these for years, so some aren't exactly on the cutting edge of modern pop culture (if they ever were). But all it takes is one good one to win over the people your league -- or even just one bad one to inspire you to think of something better. After all, the best team names tend to be inside jokes or possibly offensive material that we can't put here, so you're on your own for those. Just, you know, be careful you don't get canceled or anything because people aren't screwing around in 2020. 

2020 FANTASY SLEEPERS:
6 QBs | 16 RBs14 WRs | 10 TEs | 5 D/STs | One from each team

You might not get all -- or most -- of the references below, so either ignore those or go to your local library to research them. Either way, you're in the right place if you're looking to start your season off right!
