The Ringer Fantasy Football Show

We leave every fantasy football season with many lessons learned, but after a long offseason, we often fail to recall those crucial former takeaways as we gear up for our next fantasy draft. Luckily, we knew this would happen and have seen the movie ‘Memento’. We run through the past lessons we learned by deciphering the fantasy tattoos we left on ourselves after the 2021 season.(1:42) - News(11:45) - 5 Lessons(57:15) - Listener EmailsCheck out The Ringer’s Fantasy Football Draft Guide!Email us! ringerfantasyfootball@gmail.com.Hosts: Danny Heifetz, Danny Kelly, and Craig HorlbeckProducer: Craig Horlbeck Learn more about your ad choices.

We spend so much time talking about players, sleepers, the sexy guys with upside—we’re going to do the opposite—we’re going to put together the All-Boring Team, a.k.a. the most boring fantasy team possible that could still win your league. These players will not turn any heads during your draft, but they will after you win your league.Check out The Ringer’s Fantasy Football Draft Guide!Email us! ringerfantasyfootball@gmail.com.Hosts: Danny Heifetz, Danny Kelly, and Craig HorlbeckProducer: Craig Horlbeck Learn more about your ad choices.

The overwhelming majority of elite fantasy receivers come from real-life playoff teams, or teams that are at least in the playoff hunt. So, a good way to find a breakout WR is to try and figure out which team could make a surprise playoff run. Ja’Marr Chase was going in the sixth round of fantasy drafts last year, and after a surprising run by the Bengals he ended the year as a top-4 player at the position. We map out our playoff picture, and come back around to figure out—based on our playoff feelings—which players we think are a good fantasy value.Check out The Ringer’s Fantasy Football Draft Guide!Email us! ringerfantasyfootball@gmail.com.Hosts: Danny Heifetz, Danny Kelly, and Craig HorlbeckProducer: Craig Horlbeck Learn more about your ad choices.
