Patrick Mahomes Inspired Fantasy Football Team Names

The NFL regular season is right around the corner, meaning fantasy football drafts — and mock drafts — are happening as each day passes.
There are many fun aspects of fantasy football. Some of which often change year-over-year, such as team names. They give individual rosters a unique identity and can significantly impact the fun and engagement of a league.
Team names that’re clever or funny aren’t necessary, but oftentimes foster a more competitive and active fantasy football community. One popular way to come up with creative names is by drawing inspiration from star players on one’s team.
Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes has been a top option at quarterback on fantasy football teams for the past several years. By nature, the veteran has also been a target for many fantasy team names.
Mahomes finished the 2024 season as fantasy QB 12, scoring 283.02 points (17.7 per game). He passed for 3928 yards, 26 touchdowns and 11 interceptions. He also rushed for 307 yards and two TDs on the ground. Mahomes currently has a consensus average draft position (ADP) of 54th overall across all platforms in half PPR redraft leagues, according to FantasyPros.
