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 discuss some of the biggest injury news from around the NFL and what it all means for fantasy. Then, SHOWDOWN TIME! Must-add players at each position ahead of Week 12.
