Alright, fantasy football season again. Got my draft done, felt pretty good about it. Landed Stefon Diggs, which I was pretty stoked about. He’s usually solid. But then came the real hard part: the team name.
Seriously, I always struggle with this. You want something clever, you know? Something that nods to one of your key players. Since Diggs is likely gonna be my main guy, I figured I’d focus on him.
My Brainstorming Mess
So, I sat down, opened up a blank note on my computer. First thought? Just plain “Diggs”. Nah, too boring. Gotta have some spice.
Then I started thinking about his name. Diggs. What rhymes with Diggs? Pigs? Wigs? Rigs? Didn’t really lead anywhere good. “Diggs in a Blanket”? Lame.
Okay, pivot. What’s he known for? Great catches, sometimes gets fiery, moved to the Texans now… that’s a big change. Maybe something about Houston?
- Houston, We Have a Touchdown? (A bit generic)
- Diggs Texan Two-Step? (Getting closer?)
- Can You Digg It, Houston? (Classic reference, maybe?)
I spent a good hour just jotting down stuff like this. Some were terrible. Like, really terrible. I won’t even share the worst ones, honestly.
Getting Somewhere
Then I thought about puns on his first name, Stefon. “Stefon the Gas”? Doesn’t really work. “Stefon Your Toes”? Weird.
Back to “Diggs”. I remembered that old phrase, “Can you dig it?”. That felt promising. People know it.
So I played around with that:
- Can You Diggs It? (Simple, direct)
- Yeah, I Can Diggs It
- Diggs It Like It Is
These felt okay. Decent. Not amazing, but solid. Better than “Diggs Dynasty” or whatever everyone else uses.
I also thought about his past teams, Bills specifically. “Diggs Outta Buffalo”? Maybe too soon? “No Diggity, No Doubt”? Getting into song territory now.
Another angle: his actual skill. Route running, catching.
- Diggs Deep
- The Diggs Route
- Got Caught by Diggs
These were… fine. Serviceable. But still not hitting that perfect note for me.
The Final Few
After staring at my list for way too long, probably drank like three cups of coffee, I narrowed it down. I wanted something kinda fun but also, you know, showing he’s a key player.
My top contenders ended up being:
- Can You Diggs It? – It’s classic, easy to get.
- Diggs In Victory Lane – A bit more aspirational.
- Stefon Your League – Bit of a play on words, kinda aggressive, I liked that.
- Houston Diggs Command – Trying the Houston angle again.
It’s tough, man. Picking a name feels almost as important as the draft sometimes. You gotta live with it all season.
In the end, I leaned towards Can You Diggs It?. It just felt right. Easy, kinda cool, and everyone gets the reference. Plus, it’s fun to say when he scores a TD. Yeah, went with that one. Hopefully, he lives up to the name this year for my squad. Fingers crossed.
