How this list was compiled

A list of 110 teacher fantasy football team names written by Wheel of Teams on 2026-10-03 for a staff room league and filed in five groups: classroom puns, staff room league life, names by subject, coaches and PE staff, and last place and extra credit. The names are our own suggestions; none is a joke at a student's expense, none uses the name of a real player, coach, team, league, fantasy service, school, district or test, and any match with a real team is a coincidence. The 19 names in the By subject group print the department they are for. The football and league words the names lean on were looked up on 2026-10-03 in three English Wikipedia articles, text under CC BY-SA 4.0: Glossary of American football terms (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glossary_of_American_football_terms), American football (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_football) and Fantasy football (gridiron) (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fantasy_football_(gridiron)). Benchwarmer is not in those articles and is used as an everyday word. Compared by script on 2026-10-03 with every other list on this site: no name is repeated. Nothing was checked against a trademark register. Licence: own work
