Early 2018 Breakouts, Top Handcuffs, Juliaaaaan!!!

That's what I always do. I always look and go, oh, this guy's smart in our league. I'm going to pick who I would pick. So, shoot, I shouldn't have said that. All right, let's move on to another question. Hey, guys, this is Danny from Orlando. I'm just wondering in the Dynasty League, what you guys are doing with Evan Ingram. Would you look to move him while he's in the top dynasty asset before maybe Sequin Barclay and Odell returning eating to his targets?

Or are you just going to hold on to him because he's one of the better options in the Barfi-Tie-Tide-in situation? Thanks for the input, and I love to show. Well, first of all, Danny, you should live in Denver based on the previous Cody in California. You need to live in the all. He's with the mouse, man. He's good. I want to jump in here because we have our dynasty rankings coming to the ultimate draft kit very soon. Probably by the time you hear this, they'll be in there.

I moved Evan Angram ahead of Zach Ertz in my dynasty ranking. So I flip-flop those guys from where I think a lot of people might ordinarily have them. So my answer to that question is no. I don't think you need to cash in on Evan Ingram. His statistical output last year wasn't at some level that I don't think he can get back to or sustain. He is a very, very...

special talent at the tight-in position past catching wise. I think he is, uh, he's extremely young. I think he's a great dynasty player. And I, I, he's one of those guys where I, you know, I'm taking him over Hunter Henry. I'm taking him over Zach Kurtz. He's pretty much behind Kelsey and grunk. I, yeah, I mean, to me and my, we obviously were going through our dynasty rankings, I agree with the premise of what you're saying. I don't have them in the same spot as you. I actually have him.

as my number three tight end overall, which actually is the same spot, but different guys, I have Travis Kelsey behind him, but that's an age issue. When you look at the top guys, right, Gronk, even Ertz and Kelsey, they're all 27 and a half and older, but then you've got Evan Ingram, who's 23, and we don't want to overemphasize age, but when you've got a guy near the same, near the same tier of fantasy production,

But he's got four more years. I mean, that's pretty darn good. It depends on what the hall is for Evan Engram. But the fact is... Do you still have Gronk ahead of him in your dynasty? I have Gronk still my number one in dynasty. He's just too valuable. Since 1992, the only rookie tight ends with 100 plus targets, Jeremy Shockey and Evan Angram. It...

It's hard to argue with something that historical. So I wouldn't want to, I wouldn't be shopping him. I'll say that. If someone came to me, and I have Engram in our dynasty league, if someone came to me with an offer that I could not refuse. I'll give you Kyle Rudolph. No. All right. I can easily refuse that. Thank you, Jason. You're welcome. Okay. All right. This one comes in from Kyle in Canton, Texas. First of all, he says, 55.

With a period. Yeah, there's a period. That does bring up a really good point. Period. Ju-Jew Smith-Schuster, you want to know what percentage of his routes were from the slot? Wow. Okay. So first of all, 55 period. Secondly, what are the steps to determine whether to pull the trigger and accept the trade offer or to be safe and decline?

Thank you. Love the show. We want universal principles here. There is not one on the table. This is any and all trades. How do you know whether to take a trade, Mike? Come on, Mike. How do you take a trade or just be safe? So in his mind, change is bad, not change is safe. That's the thought here. Does it make your team better? That's a good advice. Then take it. Yeah, it sounds like he's afraid of regret.

If you're scared, go to church. But the reality is this. The reality is that you can have regrets either way. What if you regret not making the trade? It's faulty logic. So, yeah, look at the players. If you like it better, just pull the trigger. And then here's the thing. If you don't like it later, find another trade. There's one way that you can not have regret. And that's just by you put your hand up over the screen over where the trade is and you just hit decline before you can see it. Just decline them off. Then you never know.

And then you can live in your scared world. All right, another voicemail question. Yo, what up, Ballers? This is Cody from California. I had a question about selecting draft order. So, of course, I've heard about, you know, random selection or reverse order of the standings of last year. Well, my commissioner is very insistent on wherever you placed is where you draft. So if you did really bad last year, you draft bad. I guess it's kind of an incentive thing.

I don't know if it's completely fair because the rich get richer. Curious if I'm being crazy here, would love to know what you think. Hold on a second way. Number one, did Cody sneak a second question in on this? Don't worry about it. Oh, I'm very judge. Wait, that wasn't the same guy. Yes, that was 100%. That was Cody from California. There's only one Cody in California. That's 100% Brooks.

Judge is on me. Oh, Judge. My goodness. He even had the alliteration to let you know. The question's still very good though. They were both good questions and both kept short into the point. Yeah, well, look. Take a page from Cody in California. Give us to the alliteration and keep it short. So let's get back to the real problem, which is has he never, has this commissioner never paid attention to how the draft works in every major sport in the history of time? My first response is, what? Yeah.

I think on the YouTube. You don't get the best pick by winning. On the YouTube, when he actually said, I think both my and Mike's head shot up like, wait, we're looking to the sky to see if we heard that right. When he's like, if you finish bad, you draft bad. Guess where you're going to draft next year. We're not the Boston Celtics here. Nice. I mean, no, that's dumb. Yeah, that's really, you're not crazy, Cody. Yeah. It's, that's rough. Yeah. Yeah, so he should change it.

And he said it's an incentive. An incentive to win with your bad players. Yes. That's not how incentive works. Incentive doesn't mean want to win more. Yeah. All the people with the fast cars get the best parts. All the worst cars get the bad parts. Now win the race. That's incentive to find a good league. That's what that is.
