The third year in the NFL is often a breakout season for wide receivers, so About Football has put together this list of receivers who are entering year three, along with some comments on their fantasy football potential. Some of these guys are already established contributors, but a sleeper or two might be found among the rest.

With the NFL preseason winding down, some of you beginners might be wishing you had a better understanding of how this seemingly confusing game works. To a beginner, the game of football can seem very complicated, but it's really very simple once you learn the basics. That's why we've put together this three-step course designed to arm you with all the knowledge you need to enjoy this year's action.
In three easy-to-follow lessons, you'll learn all the basics, from the object of the game and the various ways to score, to the layout of the football field and the components of the team itself. We've also created a glossary that defines hundreds of football terms you can bookmark for quick reference when needed.

Part of the fun of owning a fantasy football team is getting to come up with a clever name for said team. Myself, I've been going by the name "Can of WhoopAss" for several years now in honor of my all-time favorite wrassler, Stone Cold Steve Austin. The Misses, who's relatively new to fantasy football, goes by the highly-appropriate moniker of "Yo Momma".
For those of you who are fantasy football veterans, I'm sure you're aware of the plethora of incredibly creative team names that are affixed to teams throughout the thousands and thousands of fantasy leagues. So we're asking for your help in assembling a list of some of the more clever, witty, humorous, and perhaps obnoxious nicknames ever assigned to a fantasy team.
We'll start the list off with a few of our favorites, and you can leave your contributions in the comments section below.
No Punt Intended
Orton's Neckbeards
Favre's Flip Flops
Urine Trouble
Rings Around Uranus
Victorious Secret
The Cereal Killers
(Editor's Note: I've assembled a list of submitted team names that I feel are the top 10 funniest fantasy football team names based on my own warped sense of humor.)
