So the Lions are one of four teams to have never made the Super Bowl. That’s not great, but at least they’re a fairly recent expansion team.
What’s that? They’ve been around since the 1930 season? Ooooooh nooooooooo…
These Detroit Lions fantasy football names celebrate the good, the bad, and the weird of football in the Motor City.
Detroit Lions Fantasy Team Names for 2023
Lions fans were very classy when Matt Stafford won a Super Bowl out in LA. I saw 90% supportive messages, with only one or two sour grapes in the bunch.
How long that graciousness will extend to Stafford’s trade partner Jared Goff remains to be seen.

Goff and Running
In case you have Jared Goff and some good running backs, not because Jared Goff is fast. Because he is not.
Amon-Rawesome
Jahmyrk of the Beast
We’ve got more Jahmyr Gibbs fantasy football names down below.

Saint Misbehavin’
We just had to make a whole list of Amon-Ra St. Brown fantasy team names. His name is Amon-Ra St. Brown – how could we not?
Marvin’s Room
Very Marvinteresting
Simply Marvilous
Jameson Rocks
If Jameson Williams does indeed end up rocking, that’s going to give Jared Goff one heck of a receiving corps.
Shakespeare’s Romeo and Julien
The Okwara’s parents had to know what they were doing, right? If not, that’s a crazy coincidence.
But if so, they named two brothers after a famous couple? Strange either way.

Return to Sanders
After the barren wasteland that has been post-Barry RB’s in Detroit, a return to Sanders sounds pretty good. So what if he is in his 50’s by now?
The Lions are Perfect
Perfect can mean different things to different people.
Andrey Warrington
Combining the two biggest QB busts in team history because a negative times a negative equals a positive?

Ultimately the Lions couldn’t find one good one for him to stay.

Historical Detroit Lions Fantasy Football Names
Out of the top ten rushing seasons in Lions history, Barry Sanders owns the 9th and 10th best. Then good ol’ Billy Sims comes in at number eight.
After that, it’s all Sanders all the way up.

Megatron’s Guns
