Fantasy names for Justin Tucker usually riff on his surname or his kicking records, but two facts change the advice: in the latest reports I found, he’s an unsigned free agent, and his exit from Baltimore followed misconduct allegations that he has denied. Below are names that stick to kicking, safer kicker-themed alternatives, and what to avoid.
Where things stand
- Kicking record. Tucker holds the NFL record for the longest made field goal, 66 yards, and the highest career field-goal percentage in league history (89.1%, with a minimum-attempts qualifier), according to the Ravens’ release coverage. He’s a five-time All-Pro and seven-time Pro Bowler.
- 2024 was a down year. He made 22 of 30 field-goal attempts, a career-worst 73.3%.
- The Ravens released him in May 2025. The team called it a football decision. The move came months after more than a dozen massage therapists in the Baltimore area accused him of inappropriate sexual misconduct, according to the Baltimore Banner as reported by Fox Sports. Tucker has publicly denied the allegations.
- The NFL suspended him for 10 games in June 2025 for violating its personal conduct policy, and reinstated him after he served it.
- Current status. As of September 2, 2026, he was a free agent who worked out for the Jets alongside other kickers, and had not kicked in a regular-season game since 2024. I couldn’t find a report of him signing, and one fantasy site showed a projection of 0.0 points for him in Week 4, consistent with having no roster spot. Check the latest news.
What that means for a name
- He may not be playing. A fantasy name built around a kicker with no team can look odd or out of date.
- Some people won’t find it funny. Because of the allegations, a Tucker-themed name can be uncomfortable in a mixed or workplace league. That’s a judgment call for your group, so think about who’s in it.
- The safest approach is to celebrate the kicking, not the person. The names below do that.
Names built on kicking records, without the controversy
- The 66-Yard Club
- 66 Yards Out
- Eighty-Nine Percent Club
These nod to the records without naming a person. If you want a Tucker-specific reference, stick to the kicking and avoid any wordplay on his name that could read as innuendo.
Kicker-themed names that work for any kicker
- Uprights and Downs
- Doink Dynasty
- Double Doink Club
- Wide Right Wednesday
- Extra Point Extremists
- Field Goal Fever
- Three Points Matter
- Hold for the Kick
- Long Snapper Society
- Last-Pick Legends (kickers typically go last in drafts)
- Leg Day Legends
- Toe the Line
What to avoid
- Anything that references the allegations, even jokingly.
- Puns on “tuck” or “Tucker” with a suggestive edge. They can sound like innuendo given the context.
- Names that mock the people who made the allegations.
- Names that assume he’s on a roster. If he’s still unsigned, the name won’t fit your team.

FAQ
Is Justin Tucker on a team right now?
As of a September 2, 2026 report, he was a free agent who had worked out for the Jets. I didn’t find a later report of him signing, so check a current source.
Why was his status uncertain for so long?
He was released by the Ravens in May 2025, then suspended for 10 games in June 2025 for violating the NFL’s personal conduct policy. He served the suspension and was reinstated, but hadn’t played since 2024 as of the latest reports I found.
Which records can I safely reference?
The 66-yard field goal and the 89.1% career accuracy, both documented in coverage of his release. Phrase them as records, not as praise of the person.
Would a Tucker name be a bad idea?
It depends on your league. Some groups won’t mind, while others may find it in poor taste given the allegations. A kicker-wide name avoids the question.
Can I rename my team if he signs somewhere?
On ESPN, yes. Its help page says names can be changed at any time during the season. Other platforms may differ.
Is he worth drafting?
That’s a fantasy decision outside this article, but a Week 4 projection of 0.0 points suggests he wasn’t on a roster at that time. Check current news before building a team around him.
Conclusion
If you want a name that nods to Justin Tucker, stick to his kicking records, such as The 66-Yard Club, and avoid wordplay on his name or any reference to the allegations. For something safer and more durable, pick a kicker-wide name like Uprights and Downs or Doink Dynasty. Check his current status and your league’s makeup before committing.
