The Ringer

Danny Heifetz, Danny Kelly, and Craig Horlbeck help you through the 2025 fantasy football season with who to draft, who to avoid, and how to win a championship—or at least how to not get last place. We hit everything you need to win: Which old guys aren’t washed yet? Which coaches will ruin your life? Which players would be drafted higher if they had cooler names? Why do I keep doing this to myself every year?
We post episodes every week throughout the spring and summer and even MORE during the NFL season with four shows a week: Sunday recaps, Monday waiver wire targets, Wednesday power rankings, and Friday weekly previews.

The Ringer Fantasy Football Show

The guys preview the games for Week 11 of the NFL season, featuring two marquee NFC matchups in Rams-Seahawks and Eagles-Lions, some divisional matchups, and some interesting rematches from earlier in the season. They then make their picks for the Ringer 107 competition.
