Fantasy Football Team Names 2014: 31 Funny, Creative Ideas To Earn League Bragging Rights

The 2014 fantasy football season is nearly upon us, but assembling a championship-ready roster is only part of the battle. A hilarious team name can mean the difference between year-long bragging rights and ending up as the league laughingstock.

Creativity is the key to any good fantasy football team name. Nearly every league will have a team named “Somewhere Over the Dwayne Bowe” or “Show Me Your TDs”; funny names, but certainly not the best in terms of originality. Eric Kay of CBS Sports notes that names such as “Da Bears” or “Turn Down For Watt” are already among the most commonly used on the site’s fantasy football service.
