New Fantasy Football 2026 Funny Team Names for the Upcoming Season

The 2026 NFL season will be underway before you know it. Training camps have already begun, the preseason will open on August 6, and the Seattle Seahawks will begin their title defense on September 9.

For fans of fantasy football, this means that draft season is also right around the corner.

Preparing for fantasy drafts is a multi-faceted challenge. Managers must know their leagues' rosters and scoring rules, be up to date on injuries and role projections, and have a clear value for top targets. Of course, it never hurts to have that perfect name picked out, as well.

Here, we'll examine some funny team names tailored to the 2026 season. We'll focus on incoming rookies like Fernando Mendoza and Jeremiyah Love, as well as ascending stars likely to be popular this season and notable names who have recently changed teams.

First, though, let's examine some updated point-per-reception (PPR) rankings and a PPR mock draft conducted with FantasyPros Mock Draft Simulator.
