What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

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!

lindsvo · Feb 2025

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.

J-money1127 · Jan 2025

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!

San Bueno · Jan 2025

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!

SLCUtahUser · Nov 2024

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.

D763904134D · Oct 2024

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.
