What is the premise of the episode and why are the hosts talking about the Emmys?
On today's episode, we were power ranking things we instantly regret doing after watching a single week of NFL football.
Monday night football, another year of being tortured by the whims of Sean Payton. Great.
We also do a good fantasy court. I went to the Emmys. I actually got stabbed at the Emmys, so I'll tell you about that. And we also recapped the Ringer Fantasy Football League after week one. Spoiler alert, I'm in last place.
We'll be right back. This episode is presented by Verizon. Let me tell you all about Verizon's new simplicity plan. You get one plan, one price, just $30 a line per month, even for a single line.

Welcome to the Ringer Fantasy Football Show. My name is Danny Heifert today. I'm joined by Danny, Kaley and Craig Worldbeck. And today it is power hour where every Wednesday we power rank something. And this week we are power ranking all of the things we instantly, immediately regret after one week of football and feel really stupid about, inspired by Jalen Waddell on Monday Night Football, right, Craig?
Yeah, you kind of you guys witnessed me kind of crashing out in real time. I was at the Emmys, which we can talk about at the end of the episode, and I was also watching the game on my phone and checking the the Denver box score over and over, thinking this can't be right. J is Jalen Waddle playing? Did he tweak an ankle? What happened? And yeah, it inspired the idea of what's the immediate week one regret? The post nut clarity of what's what was I thinking? Of course this went
horribly wrong. Of course. Yeah. Just feel unbelievably immediately, unbelievably stupid. Yeah. For a bunch of things. We have a whole list here. We have to s we have to start though with this Broncos Chiefs game. The Chiefs absolutely obliterated the the Broncos. It was 31 to 10. It was just kept getting worse and worse as the game goes. I wanna give I I don't even know where we want to start. Like Ken Walker, Jalen Waddle, Mahomes, all these things. I I I do we start do you want to give Ken Walker his flowers here, or should we just talk about Jalen Waddle? We like we hate him so much and I would like to start with. I would be hating. I would like to start with
Jalen Waddle. And then we can get to we can get to the to the more exciting stuff. The Jalen Waddle thing to me is just I can't believe I fell for it again, man. Yeah. Like I can't believe I did this to myself. So everyone knew everyone knew I was going to regret it immediately when I was talking about this. Why didn't anyone tell me directly? Why didn't anyone call me? Or stage some kind of intervention. Jill Rodney had the right. One catch for two yards. One catch for two yards. He had one and a drop from three yards.
Yeah, yeah. He had three targets, one of which was a was a blatant drop. Um yeah, so I I I dra I don't know why I did this. I don't know why I did it. I I That's a fourth round pick for a lot of people. I have him in the
Rigger League.
Yeah, yeah. I took him. My my long-standing high school league that I've had for 15 plus years. I took Jalen Waddle. He was there. It seemed like a reasonable price. And I was like, everybody seems to be in on Jalen Waddle. And I get and I guess I'll just hop in. What if I'm wrong? What if Jalen Waddle's great? I'm not I'm not going to be the stupid idiot who sits this one out. I needed on Monday Night Football to win in week one for my team, I needed 14 points from Waddle. A reasonable number in a half PPR league. I was like, all right, sixty yards and a touchdown, I'd probably get it done. Um, I needed fourteen points. He didn't even get fourteen yards. And I I I just and you know what's funny is I knew it.
Like I after the first quarter was over, I was like, I I know it.
