The Ringer

Nominated for Best Sports Podcast of 2026. Three friends—Danny Heifetz, Danny Kelly, and Craig Horlbeck—talk all things football, from NFL Draft, free agency, trades, fantasy, and everything else NFL. (This feed is named “The Ringer Fantasy Football Show” from May to January, and named “The Ringer NFL Draft Show” from February through April.)

The Ringer Fantasy Football Show

The Rams getting to Melbourne 30 hours before kickoff against the 49ers turned out to be a pretty bad idea. Danny, Danny, and Craig run through their biggest takeaways from San Francisco’s 27-7 beatdown over Los Angeles (00:57), the NFL’s first trip to Australia, Aaron Rodgers’s podcast confessional (38:27), and finally, our first Ringer 107 segment of the season (41:38).

Brock Bowers OUT(!), Plus One Stat for Every Game in Week 1

The boys can no longer contain their excitement just one day from kickoff. It’s time for their first (!) Power Hour of the season. Danny, Danny, and Craig rank the things they’re most excited about going into the 2026-27 NFL season.

After the final potential Tom Tom Club replacement (please email us your votes), Craig forces DK to make his Super Bowl pick, and Heifetz screams about the Australia travel mess going into Rams-49ers. They also give their two cents on the Michigan Mulligan and a few new Fantasy Court emails. It’s a packed show. You’re going to love it. Not as much as the guys love Mike McDaniel and the Chargers offense this year, but definitely more than how much Heifetz likes the Vikings skill group.

(04:50) Mike McDaniel’s Chargers

(08:23) Ben Johnson’s Bears

(11:56) Jalen Hurts–A.J. Brown revenge tour

(15:50) Can Lamar Jackson and Jayden Daniels bounce back?
