We Analyzed 650,000 Winning Fantasy Football Team Names - Here's What We Found

At TrophySmack, we’ve engraved more fantasy football champion names than anyone on the planet. Seriously. With over 650,000 trophies, belts, and rings produced, we don’t just crown champions—we know them. So we decided to dig into our one-of-a-kind data vault to answer one big question:

What do the names of fantasy football champions actually look like?

Trend #1: Puns are Powerful

Names like “Hurts So Good” and “Ceedeez Nuts” dominate the winner’s circle. The takeaway? Fantasy managers love a good wordplay. Whether it’s clever, cringey, or downright immature—if it makes the league laugh, it’s got staying power.
A few of our favorite champ level puns are:

• Kittle Kittens
• I’m Kupped
• Purdy Good
• Chubb Dub
• It Hurts to Lose

Trend #2: Player-Based Names Run the Show

“Run CMC” didn’t just trend—it topped our charts. Champions gravitate toward names built around fantasy MVPs (McCaffrey, Hurts, Kelce). Why? It’s a flex. You’re signaling your guy, claiming his greatness, and manifesting those sweet, sweet points all season long. If you’re looking for good fantasy football team name ideas built on player puns, start here:

• Run CMC (Christian McCaffrey)
• Kelce Grammar (Travis Kelce)
• Hurts Locker (Jalen Hurts)
• Breece Lightning (Breece Hall)
• Josh Jacobs Jingleheimer Schmidt (Josh Jacobs)

Player-based names not only dominate drafts but also keep the trash talk alive all year. Claim a name, claim a star, and make sure your team’s swagger matches your championship belt.

Trend #3: The Commish Has Power

“The Commish” didn’t just sneak into our data—it ranked in the top 10, multiple times. Coincidence? Not a chance. If you’re running the league, you’re not just setting the draft order and collecting buy-ins—you’re stacking wins.

Championship-worthy commissioner names we’ve seen engraved include:

• Kid Commish
• TheCommish
• Griddy Committee
• The Decommissioner
• Da COMMIshorts

Being the commish is already a flex. Winning the title while running the show? That’s a legacy move—best celebrated with a custom belt that lets everyone know who’s really in charge.

Trend #4: “Show Me Your TDs” Is Eternal

There are dozens of versions—“Show Me Your TDs,” “TD’s,” even “Show Me Ur Tuddies.” It’s fantasy football’s version of Freebird. Classic. Crowd-pleasing. Slightly inappropriate. Always effective.

Trend #5: Slight Tweaks = Big Difference

A little wordplay goes a long way. Two nearly identical names—like “Ceedeez Nuts” vs. “Ceedeez Nutz”—both cracked our top 10. Why? Originality matters. If you’re trying to stand out in your league, don’t settle for copy-paste.

Some real examples of how winners tweak their team names for extra flair:

• Chip Coming Mahomes
• Mixon Sizzurp In My Kupp
• Big TDs, No Bush
• TD’s-N-Beer
• It HURTS To Piss

Your league doesn’t need five “CMC Ya Later” clones. Get weird, make ‘em laugh, and make sure your team name is as memorable as the belt you’re playing for.

Commissioner’s Takeaway

As a league commissioner, your job isn’t just to run the show—it’s to set the tone. Make it fun. Make it competitive. And make sure your league doesn’t settle for boring team names. Start your draft party with a laugh, and end it with a title-worthy belt from TrophySmack.
