25 Vikings Fantasy Football Team Names for the 2025 Season
Football is supposed to be fun. Don’t let Minnesota’s franchise history detract from that basic reality. Football = fun.
Thankfully, the Vikings fantasy football team names can be part of restoring a bit of joy. The NFL regular season is soon to arrive, so that means fantasy drafts are flying off the shelf. To help with naming your team, go ahead and peruse some of the options for player puns. Some, to be sure, aren’t the world’s most original, but I did my best. Basically, the process involved pulling up the roster and looking at the names of players on offense until there were twenty-five options. See if one fits for your team.
The Vikings Fantasy Football Team Names
1) Addison, Jordan — Air Jordan
If there’s a Michael Jordan fan who also follows Minnesota football, then maybe this one is the way to go. He’s suspended for a trio of games but has good chemistry with the new QB1.
2) Brosmer, Max — Mad Max
To my shame, I haven’t seen the Mel Gibson Mad Max movie. I have, however, seen the more recent one with Tom Hardy. Maybe Mr. Brosmer is someone to add in dynasty leagues.
3) Chandler, Ty — Chandler & Friends
For friends who like 90s TV (like Friends).
4) Darrisaw, Christian — He Came, He Darrisaw, He Conquered
Give the large lads some love in fantasy. Christian Darrisaw, if healthy, is going to ascend into the NFL’s elite left tackles.
5) Fries, Will — Do You Want Fries with That?
Alright, I’ll admit: the name simply isn’t very good. What about “Good Will Hunting?” Maybe “Where There’s a Will, There’s a Way?” Or perhaps you could roll with “Will You Marry Me?” Endless options, all of them lame.
6) Felton, Tai — Take a Bow, Tai
Admit it: that’s not bad.
7) Ham, C.J. — Purple Eggs and Ham
One wonders how much tolerance there is for “green” being included in a title. Getting Ham onto one’s fantasy team feels unlikely in most leagues. How many leagues out there offer a spot for fullbacks?
8) Hockenson, T.J. — Hock, Stock, and Two Smoking Touchdowns
In PPR leagues, Hockenson is going to be a beast. He’s now healthy and working from within an offense where a lot of receivers got hurt. So, too, has he shown chemistry with J.J. McCarthy. Inspired by the Guy Ritchie film.
9) Hockenson, T.J. (and Jordan Addison) — Hock is a Good Add
Pickup both of Hockenson and Addison. Doing so could lead to good things, especially after Week 3 gives way to Week 4.
10) Jefferson, Justin — The Jeffersons
Bonus points if you snag multiple players named Jefferson. Van Jefferson, perhaps, the one who shook loose from Zemaiah Vaughn in what is one of the worst examples of tackling one will see on an NFL football field.
11) Jones, Aaron — Keeping Up with the Joneses
Bonus points if you snag Tim Jones.
12) Mason, Jordan — The Stone Masons
Maybe fans of The Simpsons (which should be everyone) will warm to this option. After all, there’s a catchy song.
13) McCarthy, J.J. — The McCarthy Era
For the Cold War nerds.
14) Nailor, Jalen — Van Jalen
If you’re a music fan who snags Jalen Nailor.
15) Nailor, Jalen — Air Nailor
I make my living as a writer and an editor. I do know, however, that air nailers are a tool that get used by people who can fix things.
16) O’Neill, Brian — Life of Brian
A tip of the cap to Monty Python.
17) Oliver, Josh — Oliver Twist
One can only assume this team name has been out there for a little while. Regardless, there it is. If your fantasy league somehow awards points for the brawniest blocker at tight end, then opting for Oliver could be a good move.
18) Oliver, Josh — Mount of Oliver
Works, folks. Mr. Oliver is a huge guy. He can reasonably be compared to a mountain, such as the Mount of Olives from the Bible.
19) Price, Myles — The Price is Right
Been pushing for him for a little while. In all likelihood, we’re looking at someone who is almost exclusively a special teams player. Nevertheless, Mr. Price has proven to have good hands. Does he earn a target or two per game?
20) Price, Myles — And I Would Walk 500 Myles
Someday, perhaps, Mr. Price will get up to 500 receiving yards in a single NFL season. Until then, listen to the song to pass the time.
21) Reichard, Will — The Reichard Holder
If Will Reichard is your kicker, then maybe this is the team name for you. If I’m not mistaken, Mr. Reichard has scored the most points in NCAA history. How about that tidbit as a conversation starter at dinner parties? It’s better than anything I’ve got. Plus, Vikings fans even experienced some holder anxiety in the preseason when Oscar Chapman bobbled the ball.
22) Rouse, Walter — Quiet as a Church Rouse
Take a look at Mr. Rouse; he doesn’t look like a mouse. He’s a large lad, making him an appealing option at that OT spot. Nevertheless, there is a rhyme and we’re rolling with it.
23) Skule, Justin — Taking You to Skule
Even I don’t like this one.
24) Thielen, Adam — Adam’s (Fantasy) Family
“Hooked on a Thielen” and “Thielen Lucky” (bonus points if you have Lucky Jackson) have been around forever. Boring. Go a bit spookier with a nod toward the classic movie/TV show that’s trendy yet again.
25) Vikings Defense/Sp.T. — Flores’ Fiends
All sorts of options, folks. Could do Flores’ Fleet. Flores’ Friends. Flores’ Fantastic Fumblers. Possibilities aplenty.
Note: Had Bo Richter been on offense, I would have rolled with Boa ConRichter (Mrs. Joudry’s idea). Maybe even something about the “Richter Scale.” Good luck in your fantasy leagues!
