00:02 Last year, you just were not in on this guy.
00:05 And we'd come back here on the show every Monday and
00:07 it was another good week and another good week and another good week.
00:10 And it looks like you're doing it again here, even though they paid this guy.
00:13 So he finished scoring very, very well at the end of the season at tight end Davis,
00:21 but you are not in on this guy again this year, why?
00:27 >> Yeah, well, I mean, part of it is the addition of Calvin Ridley, right?
00:31 So Calvin Ridley is gonna be running those same sort of short intermediaries.
00:34 The other thing is that Evan Ingram scored 35% of his fantasy points
00:41 in one game against the Tennessee Titans, 11 for 162 and 2.
00:46 He only scored touchdowns in three total games.
00:49 He had four separate games, five separate games where he only had one reception.
00:54 I mean, I basically just think Evan Ingram is more or less exactly who he was
00:59 when he was a member of the New York Giants, which is a talented but
01:04 frustrating player.
01:06 And he's one step further down the pecking order now,
01:09 because Christian Kirk is, I think Christian Kirk makes $22 million a year.
01:15 And I know Evan Ingram got paid, but he didn't get paid that much.
01:18 And I think he's fine, tight end eight,
01:23 that seems about right, I mean, that's where he's being drafted.
01:26 I definitely prefer Waller and I definitely prefer Waller, Kittle and
01:31 Pitts to him by quite a bit.
01:32 So I just don't end up taking Evan Ingram all that often.
01:36 And if I'm wrong and 29 year old Evan Ingram goes,
01:42 actually I would say one thing that could happen would be either an injury to Ridley
01:48 or Kirk with a, so Trevor Lawrence was better last year and
01:52 Trevor Lawrence takes another step this year.
01:54 And all of a sudden we're thinking, Trevor Lawrence is, he's in that conversation
01:58 with Joe Burrow, Josh Allen, Jalen Hurts, Patrick Mahomes.
02:01 Then totally I could be wrong, right?
02:03 Because Evan Ingram is gonna be that short area guy for him.
