The Athletic's Jake Ciely, Brandon Funston and Michael Beller help you get your fantasy lineups set with The Fantasy Football Rankings Show. Rankings gurus Jake and Brandon will run down their rankings at every position, interpreting the key news of the week and how it affects the fantasy landscape. The guys will go toe to toe where they differ in their rankings, and likely find some agreement, as well. Most importantly, they’ll give you the well reasoned, in-depth analysis you need to make your tough lineup decisions. The Fantasy Football Rankings Show comes to you every Wednesday during the NFL season. For exclusive episodes on Fridays and 40% off a subscription, subscribe to The Athletic at theathletic.com/therankingsshow.
