So you finished last in your league. Big deal, right?

Wrong.

You don’t just get clowned in the group chat anymore. In 2025, fantasy football punishments are bigger, meaner, and more humiliating than ever. Whether you're the commissioner trying to keep the league competitive or the loser scrambling to avoid social exile, this is the list you need.

These aren’t “wear a costume to work” punishments. These are fantasy football last place punishments designed to permanently alter reputations. There’s no dignity in 12th place, only content, shame, and maybe a criminal record. Here are the wildest, most creative fantasy football loser punishments for 2025.

1. Run for Mayor in Your City

You must officially enter the next mayoral race in your hometown. Create a campaign site. Print signs. Walk around and shake hands. Develop a policy platform that somehow ties back to your fantasy football failures, without direclty mentioning the reason for your campaign. You must at least try to convince people to vote for you. If you get more than 10% of the vote, your league owes you a steak dinner.

2. Lie on a Resume and Get Hired for a Job You’re Unqualified For

Apply to jobs you have absolutely no business doing. Make up certifications, inflate your experience, and gaslight LinkedIn into believing you’re the next CEO of NASA. Keep going until you get hired. Show up. Work one day. Quit. Walk out like it’s Week 8 and you just dropped your entire FAAB on a backup tight end.

3. Start Selling Feet Pics From Your Instagram

Make your profile public. Begin marketing yourself as a full-time foot model. You are not allowed to say it’s a joke or a punishment until you have two paying customers. No refunds. No explanations. Just you, your toes, and the algorithm. You'll learn a lot about social media marketing, and even more about who your real friends are.

4. Delete Every Contact In Your Phone

No exporting. No backups. You wipe your contact list like you're formatting a hard drive. This is the punishment that keeps on punishing. Want to text your mom? Too bad. Need your group chat? Start over. The only way to rebuild your network is one awkward text at a time. Maybe next time you won’t draft three players from the same bye week. Now this one someone could easily cheat at, so make sure to check in a month out after the punishment to ensure they didn't find a loophole. 

5. Spend a Weekend at a Planet Fitness

Get a guest pass at your local Planet Fitness and spend a full weekend there. If you take a selfie with a person wearing a matching outfit (same color shirt and pants) then deduct an hour from your time. Is this sponsored by Planet Fitness? No. Would I be mad if Planet Fitness sent us some money? No.
