The Athletic has your Fantasy football rankings week 3: Sleepers, projections, starts, sits

Friends,

Some people say that choosing a name for your newborn child can be stressful. Well, those people have clearly never tried coming up with a name for their fantasy football team.

The pressure associated with this annual burden cannot be overstated. Each year we’re tasked with coming up with a team name that will hopefully, if all goes well, get a light chuckle from our friends.

Our ultimate goal is to come up with wordplay so clever that the other league members have no choice but to respond with a “hehe” or a “lol” in the group chat.

The pun you choose today will follow you throughout your entire fantasy football season. It’s the name that will be spoken aloud when you triumphantly hoist a 20-dollar Starbucks gift card at the end of the year (or whatever the prize is in your league.)

Luckily for you, I, Ryan George, am here to help. Throughout my career as an internet person (search my name on YouTube!) I’ve developed the ability to imagine silly football team names and then write those names down. A skill of which the value is frankly incalculable- which is probably why this is the first time I’ve ever been paid to do it.

So without further ado, here is a list of fantasy football team names to choose from that will completely change your life.*

*please note that this list of fantasy football team names is unlikely to change your life in any way, shape or form.
