Kenyon Sadiq wins this year's award for best fantasy puns.
It's mid-August, which means that if you're anything like us, your are spending eery extra minute at work pounding google with fantasy football-related searches. As you prepare for your draft over the next few weeks, you'll need more than just a strategy for building a championship-caliber team — you'll also need the perfect team name.
For fantasy managers who like to name their team after a player each season, the 2026 rookie class has delivered some spectacular possibilities (we're looking at you Jets tight end Kenyon Sadiq). From clever wordplay to names that are downright ridiculous, there are plenty of options to choose from.
