Latest Episodes:

Giants Week From Hell, Players Most Likely to Break Records in '26, and the 1897 Cleveland Spiders Jun 01, 2026

Show notes

It’s safe to say Heifetz’s Giants had a bad week. Jaxson Dart (AKA J6) is hanging out with Donald Trump, Joe Schoen’s cuck chair isn’t going anywhere, and there’s no good injury news for Malik Nabers. But the guys couldn’t spend the entire show laughing at the Giants. They also go over the most breakable NFL records and some listener emails on YouTube voice, more nut kicks, Charley Pride, and the 1897 Cleveland Spiders.

Best Rookie Fantasy Landing Spots + Our 2026 Dynasty Superflex Rankings May 01, 2026

Show notes

The Ringer Fantasy Football Show is back with our favorite rookie landing spots and 2026 dynasty superflex rankings. Why did [redacted] trade new Cardinals running back Jeremiyah Love for scraps? Should Ty Simpson go third overall after Love and Fernando Mendoza? What’s the right price for Jadarian Price? Craig and Heifetz have no idea what to do with their first-round dynasty picks. DK is getting JJ McCarthy chills with Simpson, and he wants no part of the Jonah Coleman-Sean Payton experience. None of it. Also, no one knows how to pronounce Jeremy even though it’s our job to hunt down silent e’s, and we have an important update on the Seahawks fan’s nuts.
