Welcome to the Ringer Fantasy Football Show. My name is Dan and Harkins. And I'm joined by Danny Kelly and Craig Rolbeck. It is part two of our lessons from 2024. We're going to apply to 2025. Basically, we're really bad at taking our own advice. But every year at the end of the previous, or at the end of each season, we do a whole show where we're like, damn, what's all this stuff that we want to remember for next year, things we regret, things we would do differently? And then every year, usually we just kind of get to the next season and forget everything we wanted to learn.

So we're going to go over all the lessons from last year and try to apply it to try to fight the amnesia, right, D.K.? Yeah, that's right. And I'll be the first to admit that I don't always do so well at following all these rules. But it's good to have them in the front of your mind when you're drafted. Well, no one takes their own advice.

That's true. That's true. Yeah.

Most New Year's resolutions don't work out.

You got to stick. mind when you're drafted. Well, no one takes their own advice. That's true. That's true. Yeah.

Most New Year's resolutions don't work out. You know, you got to stick with them.

They only last for a round or two. So, yeah, we're going to get to all of our lessons, or the rest of

Getting into the back half of all the lessons we learned from 2024 starting off dk you kick us off

here give us your tattoo something you tattooed on your body to make sure you would never forget

you tattooed on your body um identified the kingmakers and this is i mean this is something that

actually really matters every year is like identifying the team and a lot of times as a team that people aren't really expecting. I think last year the Buccaneers were kind of a big one. Not that they came out of nowhere, but they were a lot more prolific. Obviously, Baker Mayfield. And Baker Mayfield won Mea League. So, you know, he had to have done flex, something with a lot of people.

So, you know, Mike Evans, Godwin was great for a while. Like later in the year, it was Jalen McMillan. Finding the teams with basically, here's a way to think about it. Find the team that's going to have the O.C. That is the head coach next year. You know what I mean? like the Liam Cohen's of the world,

the Sean McVeys of the world,

the guys who do so well with their offenses, Ben Johnson is a perfect example this year. Obviously, we've been all over the Lions for a couple of years because they just have such a great well-oiled offense. Maybe can Ben Johnson do that with the Bears? I know High Fitz is not necessarily in on the Bears this year, but this is the type of thing you have to think about before the season.

Is Chip Kelly going to do different things with the Raiders?
