Welcome to The Ringer Fantasy Football Show. My name is Danny Heifetz and I'm joined by Danny Kelly and Craig Horlbeck. Our last recording in Los Angeles, although the second last that you'll see because we're recording this Thursday, September 3rd and the season is less than a week away. The Niners just landed in Australia, I think.

**Craig Horlbeck** (2:06)
I don't know.

**Danny Heifetz** (2:06)
You're hearing this Friday and we're going to go over the best players nobody's talking about.

**Craig Horlbeck** (2:11)
These are the Glansbergs. This is an important episode. We do this at this time every year because I feel like there are players who take over the narratives all season and there's guys who slip through the cracks who, when their name is at the top of the list during a draft, they're like, nobody's really talked about these. Do I like this guy? Do I not like this guy? So we're going to talk about the best no names from the draft.

**Danny Heifetz** (2:31)
And why is it called the Glansbergs?

**Craig Horlbeck** (2:32)
Steven Glansberg from Superbad. He sits alone. He eats his lunch.

**Danny Kelly** (2:35)
Don't make me sit by myself like a loser. Like Steven fucking Glansberg.

**Craig Horlbeck** (2:37)
But you know what? Steven turned out to be a lawyer. And he's having a successful career.

**Danny Kelly** (2:41)
He's laughing his way to the bank.

**Craig Horlbeck** (2:43)
Yeah, definitely.

**SPEAKER_1** (2:44)
Well, his friends are probably richer.

**SPEAKER_5** (2:45)
But yeah, Seth Rogen might be richer.

**SPEAKER_1** (2:48)
Seth and Evan are doing just fine.

**Danny Kelly** (2:49)
Right. But that's fine.

**Danny Heifetz** (2:51)
So yeah, we're going to go over the players nobody's talking about in a reminder. Good luck in your drafts. And also we have our draft fantasyfootball.themeringer.com for our rankings. Printable PDF is there. And also we have four episodes a week during the season. So go over and well, no, not go over. Go keep checking out our show during the season. We have waivers. We can help you with waivers and trades and trade advice.

**Craig Horlbeck** (3:08)
Don't do not look at your dial and don't touch it.

**Danny Heifetz** (3:11)
Don't you go anywhere.

**Craig Horlbeck** (3:12)
Identify your dial. Leave it alone.

**Danny Heifetz** (3:14)
Speaking of which, we're going to go over the players nobody's talking about. But first, we're going to go to an end.

All right, players, nobody's talking about and sometimes this is nobody. And sometimes it's just we haven't talked about them yet. But either way, DK, I want you to start off with the player not being discussed this year for whatever reason that right here at the buzzer you want to mention as a player worth targeting.

**Danny Kelly** (4:04)
Devontae Adams, Los Angeles Rams, weird player to not really talk about for the last six months, especially considering Pukka Nkula's tumultuous off season.
