7 Players Ruining Our Rankings, Zay Flowers Gigantic Contract, and The Great Almond Debate
The Ringer Fantasy Football ShowShow Notes
We kick off the show by discussing the contract extensions that Bijan Robinson (03:02) and Zay Flowers (03:57) received. What does this mean for Jahmyr Gibbs’ hold-in? Does this big-money deal change how we view Flowers’ role in Baltimore’s offense? After a recap of the latest NFL news, the guys present the players that are the hardest to rank in fantasy this season (15:10).
