2020 rookie fantasy football team names list co-authored by Jimmy Brown, Karl Leslie, Jason Lu, and Bryan Sclar
I love this painstakingly-written 2020 rookie fantasy football team name list. I love our writers: I genuinely believe they are the best in the world at coming up with fantasy football team names. A big reason is that they are just naturally talented. Another reason is I made strict guidelines for what qualifies as a “good enough” name. Because if there’s one thing I know about lighthearted, pun based comedy, it’s that you must have STRICT RULES TO MAXIMIZE THE FUN.
Here are my two rules for 2020 rookie fantasy football team names:
- The team name must contain at least two syllables from the player or players names
- The player names must be at least one-third of the total number of syllables in the team name
A bit rigid, yes, but rookie team names are always one of our most popular articles, so I insist on trying to be the best. Yes, the writers probably resent the restrictions, but again, I love them.

Special editor’s note: Justin Jefferson has a hard name to make a fantasy football team name from. We had a list of all the players we wanted to use and we crossed each one off once we came up with a name, Jefferson was the last player remaining. So that’s why I left the Elton John song team name up there despite it having other meanings.
