This episode is brought to you by Chevrolet.
Chevy drivers need a truck that shows up the same way they do. That's why Chevy Silverado is number one in manufacturer loyalty, so they can go where others won't. Make their own way there and always get it done. And as long as Chevy people keep showing up, we'll keep building trucks that do the same. Chevrolet, together, let's drive. Visit chevy.com/trucks to explore the lineup.

Welcome to The Ringer Fantasy Football Show. My name is Danny Heifetz and I'm joined in person still in Los Angeles by Danny Kelly and Craig Horlbeck. We're still here, baby. Okay. We are going to go over the boring players who will win you your league because you know what?
Sexy players are out. Boring players are in. We're half kidding, but we're actually, there probably is the skeleton key is players that are not trending on social media.

**Craig Horlbeck** (2:11)
Yes. There's a lot of sleepers. Everybody's aware of the sleepers now. We believe that the new edge is understanding which boring veterans you should take.

**Danny Heifetz** (2:19)
It's a little bit of a bit, but we're also, I actually think we're right. So the other thing to know, Netflix today, live on Netflix, The Ringer Fantasy Football League.

**Craig Horlbeck** (2:28)
If you're listening on Friday the 28th at 11 a.m. Pacific today, we are doing our live draft with Bill and the gang on Netflix, Ringer Fantasy Football League.

**Danny Heifetz** (2:36)
1 p.m. Eastern. So again, it's the three of us. It's Bill Simmons and his cousin Seth. Yeah, 2 p.m. Eastern. You know what messes me up? It's three hours, but two and three are next to each other. You know what? Don't worry about it. It's at 2 p.m. Eastern.
You know what? Now you're looking at it. Don't worry about it, man. Anyway, go to Netflix and just Ringer Fantasy Football Show. It'll be right there and you hit live and you're gonna watch us. And here's the key. Even if you're not interested in watching this draft, everyone's gonna scream at us. Everyone's mad at us. We put out the draft order. None of the people in the league can't do anything right.

**Craig Horlbeck** (3:05)
People didn't like the draft order video. A third of the- Message received.

**Danny Heifetz** (3:08)
Literally a third of the league is threatened to quit. That is not an exaggeration. And yeah, no, everyone's mad at us. Everyone hates everything we do.

**Craig Horlbeck** (3:17)
It was a random selection, but people were not happy about it.

**Danny Heifetz** (3:19)
Everyone except Chris Ryan, who loves Craig.

**Danny Kelly** (3:21)
Chris Ryan got to- I finally did it for my guys.

**Danny Heifetz** (3:22)

Players we find are boring, think are boring, whatever. Craig, when we started talking about this, the first person you said was James Cook running back for the Bills.

**Craig Horlbeck** (4:14)
Yeah, so if we need to pick a guy from the first round who I think is boring, complimentary, I think Jonathan Taylor is also boring, but I'm not that into Jonathan Taylor in the first round. I think James Cook is the most boring player in the first round. Yeah. And is, I think, one of the best values late in the first round. He's going like ninth, tenth overall. So right at the end of the first round.
