Joe Burrow
is an Ohio kid playing for the Bengals and will be trying to claim dominance over the Browns.

has a name that can alliterate well with a
classic television show.
Tee it up (Tee Higgins)- Tee Higgins

What Can Brown do for you? (Marquise Brown/A.J. Brown/UPS)-
Any team that has a player with the last name of Brown needs to consider the old UPS slogan, “What can Brown do for you?”
DJ Got us Fallin’ in Love (D.J. Moore/Usher)
Minshew Mania (Gardner Minshew)- Minshew is a cult hero already and deserves his own fantasy team name.
Pop Lock and Drop it (Drew Lock/Huey)-
Lock is an up and coming player and could remind people of

on the roster.
Free

(Aaron Jones)- Aaron Jones
has been a good running back for a few years, but was fully unleashed last season. Anyone who has owned him over the last few years knows that Jones needs to be set free.
Run CMC (Christian McCaffrey/Run DMC)- A common fantasy team name pairs one of the best players in the league with an early, great rap group.
King of the Hill (Tyreek Hill/Taysom Hill)- Hank Hill would’ve been a great fantasy running back, but chose to sell propane instead.
This motivational speech
may give a team of Tyreek or

the right kick in the pants to win a championship.

Here Comes Deebo (Deebo Samuel/Friday)-

was named after the
movie Friday, which features a great character.

famous video game character.
Lockett and Put it in Your Pocket (Tyler Lockett)- When
Russell Wilson
targets
Tyler Lockett, it’s a lock for a reception.
James Conner: The Terminator (James Conner/The Terminator)- The Terminator is actually
John Conner, but it still fits.
James Conner
has battled injuries, beaten cancer and been a productive running back in the NFL. He is tough as nails and
he’ll be back this year.
Bitchin’ Kamara (Alvin Kamara/Bitchin’ Camaro)-
My Aunt Vicky showed me this video and asked if anyone had this name yet. Kamara is pretty bitchin’.
Combination Names
Note: These are names if you have a combination of players, but here are some good Fantasy Football Team Names.

2 Many Cooks in the Kitchen (Dalvin Cook/Brandin Cooks/James Cook)-

Brandin Cooks
might have two many cooks in the kitchen. Add in rookie
James Cook
(Dalvin’s Brother) as a possible teammate.
Don’t Wentz, It Hurts (Carson Wentz/Jalen Hurts)
Double Piercing (Alec Pierce/Dameon Pierce)– These unrelated rookies can combine for a cool name.\
Monsters Inc. (Adam Randall/Mike Washington)
Love Hurst (Jeremiah Love/Jordan Love/Ted Hurst)
