Welcome to The Ringer Fantasy Football Show. My name is Danny Heifetz. I'm joined by Danny Kelly and Craig Horlbeck. Today, we are doing the 10 most difficult players to rank this season because we made our rankings up at fantasyfootball.thereer.com and Craig, some of them are harder to rank than others.

**Craig Horlbeck** (1:47)
Yeah, look, there's always a couple of problem children during the season where you can't quite figure it out. And we have a hand, well, there's a bunch of them this year that I'm excited to dig into because I truly don't know what to do with them.

**Danny Heifetz** (2:00)
DK, you had no trouble at all.

**Danny Kelly** (2:02)
Yeah, these are super easy. I don't know what you guys are talking about.

**Craig Horlbeck** (2:05)
Great. DK can help me.

**Danny Kelly** (2:08)
I think there's always a handful of players that there's so many variables with them that it's basically just guesswork. I mean, that's what we're doing here. We're guessing. But I do like the idea of kind of breaking down the different variables and trying to figure out if we can have any more clarity on some of these guys.

**Craig Horlbeck** (2:24)
I'll tell you what wasn't difficult to rank was the hottest quarterbacks in the NFL. The people have spoken. The episode is out. It's on Instagram. Me and the Kimes came on and we figured out who the hottest four quarterbacks in the NFL are. The seven made their decisions. I think they were wise. I think they nailed it.
I think the top four was solid.

**Danny Kelly** (2:46)
I'm seeing some people that were a little concerned that Josh Howland was number two. In the comments on our Instagram, there's some controversy there, but it is over.

**Danny Heifetz** (2:55)
Go follow the Ringer Fantasy Football Show on Instagram and go join the Discord. Link for the Discord in this episode. Go Ringer Fantasy Football Discord if you want to scream about the rankings in the hot quarterback.
Actually, no, Craig, at the end, you have to give a take. You kept a take in the whole stream at the hot quarterbacks. We're going to save that for the end of the show.

**Craig Horlbeck** (3:13)
I'll unveil that.

**Danny Heifetz** (3:15)
We're going to get to the hardest players we had to rank for this.
But first, we're going to do news. But before that, we're going to take a quick break.
This episode is presented by Verizon. Let me tell you all about Verizon's new Simplicity Plan. You get one plan, one price, just $30 a line per month, even for a single line. So while everyone is running four trade analyzers before offering a backup tight end, Verizon said one plan, one price. Sometimes the simplest move is the best one, like the Simplicity Plan. Head to verizon.com today for new customers. $30 per line includes auto pay and switch discount. Additional taxes, fees and terms apply. Unlimited data is restricted to on-device smartphone usage. Domestic data roaming at 2G speeds. Back from the break, DK and Craig didn't like the way I was like before that. But you know what?

**Danny Kelly** (4:12)
Oh, I liked it a lot.

**Danny Heifetz** (4:13)
Oh, you did?

**Danny Kelly** (4:13)
Oh, yeah. All right.

**Danny Heifetz** (4:14)
Good. OK. Couple of things that happened before we were about to record. So the Falcon Sign Bijan Robinson running back to a very large contract extension.
They basically added on three years and seventy five million dollars into the year that he still was under contract. So 51
