Alright, so today I decided to dive into the wild world of fantasy football names, specifically those with a medical twist. I mean, why not combine two awesome things, right?
First, I brainstormed some general medical terms. You know, stuff like “scalpel,” “stitches,” “X-ray,” and “ICU.” Pretty basic, but it was a good starting point.

Then, I started thinking about player names. I tried to find some that could be easily pun-ified with medical terms. It’s tougher than it sounds! I spent a good hour just Googling different NFL players and seeing if anything clicked.
Next, I started mashing things together. Some of my early attempts were pretty lame, I’m not gonna lie. Stuff like “Aaron Rodgers’ Stethoscope” and “Tom Brady’s Band-Aids.” Yeah, not my best work.
But I kept at it! I started to get a little more creative, playing around with wordplay and double meanings. That’s when things started to get interesting.
I started using a whiteboard to map all of the names, crossing them off as I went. Many failed attempts later, and some names I found started getting good!
After a few hours of this, I finally had a decent list. Here are a few of my favorites, that I came up with:
- Dak Prescott’s Anatomy
- The Surgical Strikers
- Critical Condition Crew
- The ACL Avengers
- The Concussion Collective
Honestly, it was way more fun than I expected. I might even make this a yearly tradition! Now all I have to do is convince the group to let us change our old boring names. Wish me luck!
