Whether you're prepping for a new season or giving your team a refresh mid-year, one of the hardest decision you'll make about your fantasy football team is what to name your team.

A fantasy football team name is an identity, and there are many approaches to picking one that best suits you and your squad.

The most popular tactic is to pick a player from your team and form a pun around their name. Maybe your league has a general theme going for it, or you latch on to something in pop culture.

You might also just be naturally creative, and able to pull something funny out of thin air. Maybe your friends know you by an especially unique nickname that will serve you well.

Most Popular Fantasy Football Team Names in 2024

If you're a low-risk, low-effort planner, you get a lot of respect here. Work smarter, not harder, right? Below, you'll find a list of the most popular fantasy football team names in 2024. Maybe you thought your idea was clever, but it's actually not unique. Or maybe you just want a tested, vetted team name to hold you over. There's a good chance you've already seen some of these in your leagues.

How do I know these are the most popular? I analyzed over 50,000 real teams, of course! This is all proved out in the data.

  1. Hawk Tua - The number one most popular fantasy team name this season. From the viral internet street interview, this team name is perfect for anyone who is holding Tua Tagovailoa (Quarterback, Miami Dolphins), but maybe better if you're looking to trade him off. As a bonus, there's also Hock Tua for those lucky enough to have T.J. Hockenson as well.
  2. CeeDeez Nuts (and variations) - Childish. Silly. Meme-perfect. Hard to believe we're still running with this in 2024, but it's a classic for a reason. CeeDee Lamb is a star wide receiver for the Dallas Cowboys, so it's hard not to feature him in your team name. Bonus if you have Saquon Barkley (you know what to do).
  3. LaPorta Potty - Coming in strong at number three, as Sam LaPorta (Tight End, Detroit Lions) had a breakout season in 2023. People are proud to have him, but not too proud to package him with bathroom language.
  4. To Infinity and Bijan - One more for the puns, and this nod to Toy Story legend Buzz Lightyear is an apt comparison. Bijan Robinson (Running Back, Atlanta Falcons) is out of this world.
  5. Nacua Matata - Another breakout start in 2023, Puka Nacua (Wide Receiver, LA Rams) has a big career ahead of him. This, too (obviously), is a Disney pull from The Lion King.
  6. Bijan Mustard - Sticking with our boy Bijan, this one is... also popular. Grey Poupon anyone?
  7. Breece's Pieces - Breece Hall (RB, New York Jets) is also a favorite in the fantasy football community. Good pun.
  8. Run CMC - You know, like Run DMC, except it's Christian McCaffrey (San Francisco 49ers), who is also a running back?
  9. Baby Back Gibbs - Jahmyr Gibbs, running back for the Detroit Lions. Makes me want to watch the Thursday Night Football at Chili's.
  10. Better Call Hall - Another (and in my opinion, better) name for Breece Hall owners to latch onto.
  11. Show Me Your TDs
  12. Prestige Worldwide
  13. Slim Pickens
  14. Bishop Sycamore
  15. Joe Buck Yourself
  16. King of the Hill
  17. Fields of Dream (Justin Fields here, if it wasn't obvious)
  18. Love Thy Nabers (Underrated team name - Malik Nabers)
  19. Finding Deebo (Deebo Samuel)
  20. The Hurts Locker (Jalen Hurts)
  21. Silence of the Lamb (CeeDee Lamb)
  22. Hot Chubb Time Machine (Nick Chubb)
  23. Breece Lightning (Breece Hall)
  24. Dakstreet Boys (Dak Prescott)
  25. Dak to the Future
