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 start the show by bringing on The Ringer’s Austin Gayle to rant about the incompetence of the Las Vegas Raiders following their loss to the Dallas Cowboys on Monday night. Next, they power-rank their favorite fantasy trade targets in this week’s Power Hour, share some Ringer fantasy football league updates, listen to a fantasy court case, and answer some emails before closing the show.
