Matt Stafford is the greatest statistical quarterback in Lions history, and it isn’t even close. That said, he still had a losing record, was 0-3 in playoff games, and only made one Pro Bowl.
While Stafford wasn’t the problem, maybe he also wasn’t the solution. So is the solution Jared Goff?
Let’s just say I think he’ll need more help than just these Detroit Lions fantasy football names. And yet that’s all we have to give.
Detroit Lions Fantasy Team Names for 2022
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…
Fordained by Goff
Goff and Running
In case you have Jared Goff and some good running backs, not because Jared Goff is fast. Because he is not.
D-Swift’s Reputation Tour
D’Andre 1000
D’Andre Swift is my pick for a Lions breakout player. Somebody has to get some touches, and it’s not going to be Adrian Peterson.

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?
Barry Good
Megatron’s Guns
Now this could make for a pretty solid photoshop, if one were so inclined. Maybe a pic of Calvin Johnson flexing, but replace his arms with Megatron-style guns?
Andrey Warrington
Combining the two biggest QB busts in team history because a negative times a negative equals a positive?
A Millen Reasons
Ultimately the Lions couldn’t find one good one for him to stay.

Jared Goff Fantasy Football Names
Jared Goff’s career is off to a solid start, but he doesn’t get the same respect as the top QBs. Geeze, crap in your pants in one Super Bowl and that’s all anyone seems to remember.

T.J. Hockenson Fantasy Team Names
I’m thrilled to see Hockenson in the NFL for a couple of reasons:
- His ability to create separation from an overly-instinctive defender
- My ability to create a team name idea from an easily-malleable surname

Detroit Lions Defense Fantasy Names
Some people think it’s strange that defense is such a small part of your fantasy team. Lions fans are used to it.

Penisini Vagina
I almost feel bad about this one. With a name like Penisini, you know he’s heard it all before.
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.
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.
