Soon enough, the Minnesota Vikings will be playing real football. Soon enough, fantasy football is going to return. Contained below is a humble attempt at a marriage between those two things.

Football, at least in theory, should be fun. The Vikings appear to enjoy twisting the knife, refusing to find any form of meaningful success. May these team name suggestions function as a sweet balm to soothe any football wounds that may have accumulated over the years.

12 Minnesota Vikings Fantasy Team Names

Air Jordan — A touch drab and bland at this stage. One can only assume fantasy leagues have seen some variation of this name used a million times (give or take). Drafting Jordan Addison is likely to be a wise decision.

Do You Want Fries with That? — Will Fries plays right guard. A right guard generally has little to do with fantasy. Make your own decision.

Flores’ Fiends — Opting for the Minnesota Vikings defense doesn’t appear like a bad option. Sacks should be a given. What happens if the secondary bounces back with more interceptions? Plus, leagues often toss special teams into defense, so a return touchdown (or two) can really help.

For Whom the Bell Tolls — Somebody out there is a massive fan of Ernest Hemingway and Vikings rookie receiver Dillon Bell. If that’s you, then go ahead and roll with this name.

He Came, He Darrisaw, He Conquered — Again, an offensive lineman. Still, not too bad, right?

Hock, Stock, and 2 Smoking Touchdowns — T.J. Hockenson has never been a touchdown assassin in his career. Maybe playing in a contract year will help.

Mad Max — Truth be told, I don’t know why you would have either of Max Bredeson or Max Brosmer on your team. Of the two, Mr. Bredeson appears to be the option to roll with if your league has a fullback slot.

Natural Born Kylers — Most think Kyler Murray is locked into being the QB1. Anyhow, enjoy the movie pun.

Oliver Twist — Josh Oliver isn’t super valuable in fantasy. Instead, he’s built for real life. Rolling with Minnesota’s TE2 means hoping for a touchdown.

The Price is Right — Myles Price boasts a pile of potential. Soon, the returner is going to put points on the board. Whether he can do so on offense is what remains to be seen.

The Stone Masons — A tip of the cap to The Simpsons (Stonecutters on there, I think). Mason is going to get tasked with carrying the rock. He’s supposed to be in excellent shape.

Will the Thrill — Kicker is a valid fantasy position. Mr. Will Reichard is an assassin out there, meaning he should be the first kicker taken.
