The Ringer Fantasy Football Show

Welcome to The Ringer NFL Draft Show, the seasonal spin-off of The Ringer Fantasy Football Show! With the 2024-25 NFL season in the books, we have temporarily transformed this feed into a show completely dedicated to the 2025 NFL Draft. Each week, The Ringer’s Danny Heifetz, Danny Kelly, and Craig Horlbeck will guide you through different NFL draft–related topics, featuring player analysis, mock drafts, team needs, listener questions, trivia games, and much more. Episodes air twice per week all the way through the draft in April. Don’t worry, The Ringer Fantasy Football Show will be back this summer!

    Stop with the politics
    We get it you don’t like Trump. Just stop it.
  • Michael CM Fl
    Stop bringing politics into your pod
    We get it, you hate Trump and Elon. But as you know, more of the country voted for them than Kamala. Not a good business decision to try and shove irrelevant blue sky down our throats. The little comments aggravate half of your audience, maybe take a look at your recent reviews and consider hiding your bias? Talking to Heifetz here
  • MShelkow
    Good vibes only, please
    Not sure why conservatives leave nasty reviews on here complaining about libtards? Bill Simmons’ general political views are not a secret, and it’s safe to assume that most of his employees align themselves with those views. If it annoys you that much, there are plenty of outlets targeted for your demographic. I don’t watch Fox News and am then surprised when there’s too much MAGA talk, I just look elsewhere. Anonymous internet vitriol is really the lowest form of self expression. Love the pod. Keep on keeping on.

    Good show could be great…
    Every single ep. mentions Austin Gayle. Why can’t he host?
  • Feathery greedy
    bluesky 86 mentions per episode
    We get it Heifetz, you voted for Kamala, must you constantly rail against Twitter 124 times per show and try and get us to sign up for your little lib echo chamber

    Get new jobs
    Have any of you fellows played football at a level higher than HS . DK was offered more money than Pittsburgh. He refused Godwin left 20 mil on the table. Diggs one of three receivers to have 100 catches and 1k yards every year he played minus the year he was injured and was still on pace for 100plus rev1100 yards.

    Awesome
    Love it!

    Draft show? More like bad movie reference show
    Why is it called the NFL draft show? They literally don’t mention it in most episodes.

    Heifetz is a Blue Sky Sales Guy
    Heifetz has always been the fat ugly loser of the group. Unfunny, desperate to be seen as cool by the other more naturally charismatic duo, and eager to have the spotlight on him at all times. But DK and Craig are good enough to overcome how fat and annoying and punchable Heifetz is every week. Lately Heifetz has thought it a smart business decision for the ringer, for him to subject the audience of an NFL pod (keep in mind majority of who watches nfl), as a platform to show what an intolerant libtard he is. No one cares about your politics, or the fact that ur an annoying, insecure person. Heifetz- hopefully you read this. Dude… shut up. We don’t care about ur virtue signalling, media driven, brainwashed opinions. Ur job is to platform Craig and dk, and stay out of the way. Until u can learn ur not likeable enough for anyone to come here for u (let alone listen to ur idiotic takes), then u need to ask Simmons if they can replace u with Tate Frazier until you grow up a bit. Ok byeeeeee
  • great i say
    Just delightful
    Craig, DK, and Danny are awesome. This pod is the go to for humor
  • WWoooot
    Be yourself
    It’s okay not to want to be famous like other players. How Jalen Hurts carries himself is okay. It’s just not what you would do. Have some respect please.
  • dchild
    Pure Entertainment
    I really look forward to every new episode dropping. Great format, great hosts, great mix of humor and insight - it rarely disappoints. Highly recommend.

    ideas can't stand up to the market place of ideas. so took their balls and fled lol soft
  • lindsvo
    Lads being lads
    Big fan, mostly due to my bf’s obsession with sports and being nudged into his fantasy football league. These guys have great chemistry, and make me feel like I’m listening to my own friends. Funny banter (football and non football related), informative insights and not taking themselves too seriously. 5 stars!
  • John Elway is fine
    If you want a fun football podcast, listen to this show.
    The guys are great. Super funny and entertaining. Maybe not the best pod if you want a podcast solely focused serious advice or are a maga weenie.
  • J-money1127
    Great show
    This is the first review I’ve went out of my way to write. This show is great in terms of entertainment, the hosts are funny. Other fantasy podcast just churn out content and it’s hard to stay engaged through every episode that comes out. I look forward to every episode of this podcast, sometimes it gets off the rails but that’s what I love. They also think differently from other fantasy podcasts so it’s nice to have that comparison when most other shows are the same takes just coming out of different hosts mouths. Make the assumption for yourself. Enjoy.

    Fantasy Football for the Vibes
    I don’t even play fantasy football or really watch football — I mostly keep up through ESPN, conversations with friends, and podcasts like The Bill Simmons Show. But I still listen to The Ringer Fantasy Football Show every week. It’s just that good. These guys crack me up, and I feel like I’m just hanging out with friends. Awesome job, y’all!
  • Killacam169
    The best
    One of the worst times of the year is when yall decrease your shows/week. I don’t even need fantasy football content, just yall talking is wildly entertaining. Edit: kinda weird of yall to have Emhoff on. Don’t do that again.
  • Bobo-5252
    Great show
    You guys remind me of a younger version of the College Football Enquirer from Yahoo in all the best ways. Keep it up
  • hardeight 99
    I don’t like football
    Love the chemistry of the hosts, humorous perspectives on football
  • Matthewtheodore
    Makes me laugh like no other pod
    Good pod good group
  • SLCUtahUser
    5 stars for Fantasy Football “Name That Tune” 😂👍
    I don’t even play fantasy football (although I DO watch the NFL every Sunday, Monday, and Thursday). These three guys are always so entertaining & (to use a Bill Simmonsism) fun. Working out how to play Zoom “Name That Tune” on the fly, was laugh out loud funny — not to mention a great party game you guys invented. Keep up the great work, and we’ll be listening!

    Lame
    Having the nanny banger and woman beater on a sports show is ridiculous.
  • Noah Killian
    Give Heifetz his flowers
    I’ve heard that Netflix and Amazon are in the business for late night talk show hosts, and here is my entrant—HEIFETZ! Let Danny cook
  • S_B25
    Doug Emhoff?
    Why is Bill Simmons and the rest of the Ringer so based? You guys are so lame.
  • Former grantland listener
    Doug Emhoff, alleged abuser
    My girlfriend works in domestic violence counseling and when she heard the intro to the latest episode in the car she made me turn it off. Why have such a creep (who also had a confirmed affair with a nanny) who abuses his power to make women feel small? Absolutely awful.
  • D763904134D
    Stick to the Sport
    I liked these guys for the heated rants they do once in awhile but there are other shows that do a better job with data analysis. The final straw was when they had a political candidate’s spouse on to “talk ball”. Clearly was a stunt one way or another and you think people would learn of this with example after example of pairing politics with sports that this is not what people want. Put your time and money elsewhere.
  • tgaldes
    The best!
    These guys are hands down my favorite podcast, bar none. They make jokes, do gimmicks, and even talk about football. Keep up the great work guys!
  • FartLicker_69
    Not Informative, but Very Entertaining
    I enjoy this show quite a bit, but frankly the fantasy aspect brings it down a bit. I don’t think their football/fantasy knowledge is strong enough to be a selling point for the show, but at the same that’s not what I’m listening for anyways. These guys are very funny in a podcast genre that tends to lack humor entirely, which is very refreshing to hear. They also do some creative segments and go on fun tangents here and there. If they’d drop the fantasy aspect of the show and just embrace their strengths, I think it would pay off for them!
  • Jezikaya Bramble
    I’m mediocre
    I listen to four podcasts per month, not daily but literally four podcasts a month and you guys are right in the middle, and I cherish it. Love the GOT references
  • Matt Jack015
    Best podcast ever…
    I listen to about 40 different podcasts a week as a cyber engineer(I don’t really work with people), best episodes of my week are always from your show. Thanks!
  • Wallstreet456
    I’m dominating my leagues since listening. Flex!
    Funny show, guys do a great job keeping you updated on players and weekly matchups. Love some of the other items they cover like start or sit, waiver targets, fart or shart, etc. I would love it if the “who’s the bigger A hole” became a regular part of the show.
  • Free Celler
    Less of the picky eater bit.
    I love everything about the show, except for the bit about the pick eater being punished by eating regular food. I wish that part would go away.
  • Smp4osu
    Enjoy the show, but not much FF analysis
    I enjoy listening to this show and find these guys funny but if you’re looking for true fantasy analysis, this probably isn’t the show for you.
  • Pittpanther18
    Entertaining but losing me my season
    These guys are fun and funny, but their predraft analysis was way off on major players. Justin Jefferson is tier 1, as is Saquon. Danny did this with Josh Jacobs too. I’m just done taking their advice. They obviously are right sometimes, but not enough for me to listen anymore. They’ll make you laugh at least, but don’t draft players based on their tiers.
  • PandaWatch!
    Pod of the Year
    Great pod. The guys do an excellent job of balancing helpful fantasy football advice with jokes and content that engage the audience. They also do a great job bringing their listeners into the episode through fan-submitted trivia games and answering emails on the show. They tell inside jokes that long term listeners will catch and enjoy, while not gatekeeping the show to newcomers. I look forward to every episode. Come for the content, stay for the fun.
  • julestompkins
    Totally entertaining and more than adequately informative
    Fantasy nut here. Listened to a lot of dry, info-heavy shows for years. Felt like a chore. This show is the opposite, except these guys *also* know what they’re talking about. Enjoy listening to every single episode.
  • Great game could be greater
    THIS IS NOT A FANTASY PODCAST
    These bozos spend MAYBE 5% giving actual tangible fantasy advice. Otherwise it’s just them sitting around listening to themselves spew dumb commentary while giggling the whole time. It’s incredible. If you want to waste your time listening to randos give commentary on things not related to fantasy, this is for you! But if you want no nonsense fantasy advice, I recommend you check out Fantasy Pros or Fantasy Football Today. These guys are not it.

    Best Out There
    That’s it! That’s the title! Best football podcast out there.
  • ArnoldFang
    Love this show
    Would be so fun and interesting to sit down and have a beer with these guys. Keep up the good work!
  • Ben999f
    I have fun
    There’s only a couple podcasts I look forward to when they pop in my feed — and when ringers fantasy football pod drops I know I’m gonna have a good time for an hour —I love these guys — I trust in their fantasy football knowledge and I have fun with them as well ! Thank you for consistently giving me something to look forward to!
  • Chaloopa12
    Dear Bill
    Ya know when you’re listening to Nora and Steven Ruiz and Ben Solak (rip) and you’re thinking “dang something is missing here.”? The chemistry is what is most important and these guys are leaps and bounds better at managing the flow of a pod because of that. All the other people you employ that talk about grinding tape when they’re like a 5 foot 3 38 year old truly are not what the ringer nfl should be. These guys should be doing the main pod for ringer nfl.

    5 Michelin Stars
    It’s got 5 stars. Can’t argue with that. Shouts out Randy Newman. Pole assassin is in the past, but I’m still a GOAT
  • Chris, Charlotte NC
    Had to get political
    Over an absolute lie at that. Oh well, there are plenty of other shows.
  • Kbs40
    Pick one
    Stick to only fantasy and stop combining with movie themes. Pick one it’s not as cool as you think it is. If you want to do a movie podcast then do that but on a separate feed. I would listen to that. Just not the weird movie/fantasy football combo the past two episodes have done
  • Hayleynilsen
    Horrible episode
    Seriously? Bill needs to clean house. Horrible fantasy football takes from an unwatchable movie. Swing and a miss.
  • Nude collector
    mixed bag
    great content schedule and ways to make each show interesting and unique in its presentation. solid mix of personalities and generally an easy listen. i ignore any show’s email segments, low effort and not in the slightest way interesting. could use less laughing from dk ngl. literally never laughed out loud at this show because it’s not very funny if at all so i’m not sure why dude is losing his mind every episode. definitely a show for more casuals, as there is little actual in depth football talk. these guys clearly just watch the ball on every play but that’s okay simmons does too and i like his content.
  • Fox-33
    Lack of fantasy football
    Episodes seem to really be lacking from real fantasy football analysis of late. Half the episode feels like an comic open mic night. Would love more statistical analysis instead of just going off vibes.
  • Not Tom Selleck
    A great offseason pod
    This show is a mess. DK laughs at everything, which is ironic since nothing funny is ever said. He should consider spending his efforts on having better opinions Heifetz is pedantic jerk who wastes the majority of each episode on complete idiocy. Dude can barely get a complete sentence out. How do you expect him to host a podcast? And Craig loves the smell of his own farts. As an offseason podcast it’s fine because their horrible advice can’t hurt you, so dumb jokes and poor takes are fine with no stakes. As soon as it’s time to draft, literally anyone else would offer better fantasy advice. You know I’m right
  • Jknox8
    Great pod between the tension
    I’ve loved this pod for a while but every few episodes it seems like these guys not-so-subtly hate each other lol
