The Best Fantasy Football Team Names (2023)

When it comes to team names, I’ve instituted a rule for myself – never choose a team name before you choose your team. I mean, are we really going into the season rocking “Something Burrowed” then drafting Trevor Lawrence when he falls to us? No way, man.

Anyway, here are some of my favorite team names heading into the 2023 fantasy football season. Some of them are products of my imagination, others gave me a good tickle when I came across them online.

Side note, I’m assuming my little cousin will come across this when inevitably googling what to make his name in our family fantasy league, so Nick Chubb’s name will not be involved in any of these names if you catch my drift. Also, scroll down for my annual list of Jimmy Buffett-inspired team names.

The Best Team Names (2023 Fantasy Football)

–Courtland Sutton Ranch

Will Yellowstone EVER give us the last half of season five?

-Yippee Ki-Yay, Justin Tucker

We’re keeping this RELATIVELY clean…

-I’m a Darby Girl

So what if he hasn’t played in a year, Ronald Darby is absolutely getting a nod thanks to Barbie’s resurgence.

-Dan Koppenheimer

There’s a small niche that will appreciate this.

-Project Dex

Got Dexter Lawrence in your IDP league? Like vintage early-2010’s raunchy comedies with elite soundtracks? Here you go.

-I am the kicker

Here’s a player-less name for any Trailer Park Boys fan out there.

–Boston Scott Paper Company

He’s not even rostered in my 14-team dynasty league with a massive bench, but it’s a classic nonetheless.

-Juszczyk yourself before you wreck yourself

Again, he shouldn’t be rostered, so you’re good regardless of who you draft.

-The Home Deebo

Dad mode activated.

-Only Fants

No comment.

-Jeudy and the Blowfish

I all-too-recently learned Darius Rucker’s “The Dolphins make me cry” refers to his favorite football team.

-Rachaad (or Zamir) White Lotus

Never seen the show, but this one is low-hanging fruit if you end up with either the Buccaneers’ RB1 or Josh Jacobs‘ handcuff.

-How I Kmet Your Mother

He moved up a spot or two when he got that contract!

-Ice Cold Ameer Never Broke My Heart

Any other Luke Combs fans out there?

-Something in the Mooreange

Any other Zach Bryan fans out there?

-Unoaked Charbonnet

If you draft with a glass of wine, here’s your go-to.

Jimmy Buffett-related team names

Lastly, as a die-hard Parrothead, I have to include a list of my favorite Jimmy Buffett-related team names. These ones are all me, please hit me on Twitter (@TJHorganTV) if you think of more of these.

-Tin Kupp Chalice

My favorite Buffett song of all time and a player I’m drafting a TON of this year – what’s not to love?

-Lindstrommin’ My Six String

Giving myself bonus points for incorporating an offensive lineman on my favorite team. Real ones know how underrated Lindstrom is.

-A Pirate Looks at McCourty

Your call on which McCourty.

-There’s Roos in the Blender

You can’t make this list without a Margaritaville reference!

-Come Monday (Night Football)

Sometimes you just have to make your layups.

-Son of a Keith Traylor OR Hockenson of a Sailor

Yes, in my fantasy baseball league, this is Son of a Josh Naylor. No, I don’t care that my favorite Madden ’04 defensive tackle has been retired for almost 20 years.

-Wonder Why We Ever Go Mahomes

Finally, another player who actually might be on our 2023 fantasy team.

-Down at the Amon-Ra

How about a little tribute to some of Buffett’s newer jams?

-He Went to Parris Campbell

At least this name is going to Parris Campbell because we know footballs aren’t.
