One Funny Fantasy Football Dynasty Team Name for Each NFL Team—Even the Jets

In this story:
Full disclosure, I’m eminently mediocre at naming fantasy football teams.
Like three years ago, my team was called Justin Fields Forever, a moniker that embarrassingly mashed up my love of the Chicago Bears and the Beatles.
A garbage name, I know, but I won that league, so it’s possible that slick waiver wire work can overcome mediocre naming skills.
That said, the conceit of this article is solid: I’m dropping 32 team names, all of which are based on an intriguing 2025 rookie from each franchise. I give you full permission to use any of the below names for your own dynasty team, but please do so at your own risk.
Oh, P.S. – Unsurprisingly, there’re multiple Beatles-centric entries. You’re welcome.
