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 Take Purge is back. The guys empty the notebook with their wildest 2026 NFL draft takes: Should prospects tank the combine on purpose, are the Giants headed for disaster, should the Raiders pass on a QB at no. 1, and which sleepers could become stars? Zero accountability, maximum chaos, and the kind of draft brain that hits only in April.
