00:00Start, sit, moving on, Zach Ertz, the commanders at Cincinnati or Colby Parkinson for the Rams,

00:10home to the Niners here.

00:12The only thing is you'd have to wait for the Ertz stat.

00:14So I'm going to lean Parkinson just on that, but Joe, yeah, look, Ertz was resting on Thursday.

00:23It's veteran stuff.

00:24I wouldn't really get too concerned with it.

00:26Both games he's played so far with Jane Daniels.

00:28He's had four targets in both of them.

00:31He's finished his tight end 18 and then tight end eight.

00:33Now, Colby Parkinson theoretically has a lot of targets here that could become his.

00:37The problem is that offensive line is just, it's Swiss cheese right now.

00:41And I'm concerned of Matthew Stafford finishing this game.

00:44I'm concerned about Matthew Stafford's health in this game.

00:46I really am.

00:47So it's something, it is, and it's not like to make a joke of it either.

00:53It's legitimate in terms of the way I'm approaching it and investing in it or not investing in

00:58it.

00:59I think the 49ers are going to be hungry for a victory.

01:01I think it's going to be one where the defense knows that the offense is banged up and they're

01:04going to show up and they're going to win this game for them.

01:07So at the end of the day, even though Parkinson is tempting and might have more upside, I

01:12think Ertz might be the safer play.

01:14So they're going to be behind.

01:17They're going to have to throw the football Washington against the Bengals.

01:20That's a good situation there.

01:21And with the a dot so far, the Jane Daniels has shown us he's not throwing a ball real

01:25far.

01:26He kind of goes into the wheelhouse here of the tight end Zach Ertz.

01:30So give me Ertz here.

01:31It's very close, but I'll take Ertz here for the win.

01:34Joe, you're using that stat a dot for those that are new to it.

01:38Average depth of target, correct?

01:41Correct.

01:42All right.

01:43Let's go to quarterbacks based off of the average depth of target.

01:46Geno Smith for the Seattle Seahawks, a team that Joe believes is just has padded stats,

01:50really hasn't played anyone, right?

01:52They have Miami and then Justin Fields.

01:54Even in a loss, Pittsburgh can still show you that they're viable, and I think that's

01:57important here as Pittsburgh has the Chargers.

02:00I'm going to lean Justin Fields, but I want to hear from you, Joe.

02:04Another one where it's really close.

02:06Geno in that first game ran amok, right?

02:08But it was over Denver.

02:09Denver, a team that gives up rushing yards like it's candy at Halloween.

02:14Against New England, certainly looked really good, 33 completions through 327 yards.

02:20Only one touchdown this one.

02:22I like Geno at home against Miami.

02:25I keep waiting for Fields to have the big breakout game here.

02:28I feel like this one's going to really just get pulled down into the mud, and between

02:33Harbaugh and Mike Tomlin, this sort of game has the opportunity to be a real 13-10 kind

02:38of banger, and I think that limitation in the scoring is at the end of the day, it's

02:42going to hurt Fields potentially.

02:44I do think that Fields should continue to play regardless of Russell Wilson's health

02:48because you're winning football games.

02:50He gives you more opportunity to make plays.

02:52I think he's going to take less sacks because he's more mobile at the end of the day.

02:56So although you saw, you know, I think things that you liked out of Fields, there was a

03:00couple plays that got called back last week, too, again on him that could have been some

03:04bigger plays.

03:05We might feel better about Fields statistically.

03:07I would still lean Geno at home against the Dolphins because that defense isn't very good

03:11either.

03:12So give me what I know here.

03:14I hope that I'm wrong about the field situation in terms of the score and this total today,

03:20but Vegas is telling you they're not looking for a big total.

03:23Herbert's not 100%.

03:25I can see a lot of run in the football, both of these teams here, and Fields will run as

03:29well.

03:30But unless Fields has that one big breaking run, I think Geno's the smarter start here

03:35for week three.
