Five NFL games we can’t wait to watch in the 2025 season
The schedule for the 2025 NFL season has been released. Here are a few games on our must-watch list.
The football season is right around the corner and that can only mean one thing – it’s time to play the name game.
Summer is in short supply as fall looms. The days get shorter, the back to school sales get bigger. While there’s still some time before all that, it’s the perfect time for fantasy football players to get back to class.
With new faces in new places, we have about a month to figure it all out before the opening kickoff in Philadelphia on Sept. 4. However, that all means nothing if we don’t get the name right.
So that’s why we set out to compile a list of over 160 names so you can focus on roster building. After all, just think about how great those names will look on a trophy that can provide a light during the cold, dark winter.
