The Ringer Fantasy Football Show

The Patriots reunited Mike Vrabel with AJ Brown (03:41). The Chiefs signed Super Bowl MVP Kenneth Walker (14:01) away from the Seahawks. Mike Evans (23:07) is the new obvious target leader with Kyle Shanahan in San Francisco. Kirk Cousins (31:14), Tua Tagovailoa (39:20), Malik Willis (46:28), and Kyler Murray (01:00:45) are all quarterbacking new teams. The boys discuss the best NFL players on new teams before unveiling The Seven's (blessed be) honorable mentions for the inaugural Hottest NFL QB Rankings (01:31:02).
