Welcome to the Ringer Fantasy Football Show. My name is Danny Hyford.

And I'm joined by Danny Kelly and Craig Rilbeck.

And today it is Power Hour, where we power rank something every Wednesday. And this week, we are power ranking the players. We are not thankful for it. We are not thankful with these people at all, right, D.K.? It's the anti-spirit of the season, really, which is what we're going for. These are the Stephen Glanbergs of the season derogatory. Right. These are people... We want them to sit alone eating the pudding. We haven't been talking enough about how bad and annoying they've been. This is, these are just people that, like there's just too much gratitude right now this week. You know, there's a lot of being. Exactly. Overwhelming. Everything's going too well in the country, global, like, I'm just like, it's time to be a little negative for once. Yes, for once.

0:55.5

So we wanted to just introduce a little negativity to your life because I'm sure no one has enough. And we, for the most part, stayed away from the burn book. These aren't, except for a couple people. These are new people that are bothering us that we have. Yes, we've talked enough about the burn books, the AJ Browns, like we shit on them all the time.

And so hence my background looks different. And then a reminder, as we go to the end of the season, we cover the whole year. It's not just fantasy. So we do the real NFL playoffs.

We do... And then a reminder, as we go to the end of the season, we cover the whole year. It's not just fantasy.

1:30.5

DeKins your draft experts.

1:35.4

So we stick with us.

1:36.2

We cover the playoffs.

1:36.8

It's really fun.

1:37.3

We do a good job.

1:40.5

Honestly, off season, kind of weirder.

1:41.2

1:45.1

So stick with us all year. But with that said, for Power Hour, we're going to take a quick break.
