48 The Office & The Paper Fantasy Football Team Names for Your League

The Paper — the Office spinoff from Greg Daniels and Michael Koman, about the same documentary crew trading Dunder Mifflin’s Scranton branch for a struggling Toledo newspaper — came back to Peacock on September 9 for a 10-episode second season. Turns out the mockumentary format works just as well on a dying newsroom as it did on a paper company, and your league group chat has been quoting both shows in the same breath all week anyway. So here’s a roster built for managers who still worship at the altar of Michael Scott and the ones who’ve already pledged allegiance to the Toledo Truth Teller.
