00:00All right. Next question comes in about tight ends. We have the beloved Steelers.

00:03What's that stat in three coaches in the last 40 years? That's a stability I like.

00:08Pat Friarmuth with the tight end position. They have Cleveland. Or is it Juwan Johnson? I guess

00:12it's all hands on deck. I mean, if you're healthy and you live in the greater New Orleans area,

00:16please show up and suit up. Actually, you can come right here. They're playing the Giants,

00:20so they need all hands on deck. But Joe, Pat Friarmuth or Juwan Johnson start,

00:24sit at the tight end position. Yeah. How many quarterbacks have the

00:27Browns had compared to the head coach of the Steelers? 1972. Can we get those two numbers?

00:34Three versus what is it? Probably what? Like, I don't know, 60 something. It's crazy.

00:40Friarmuth has been intriguing the last couple of weeks. A very frustrating

00:46fantasy option up until the last two weeks, where all of a sudden four for four for 59,

00:50then six for seven with a touchdown and 68 yards last week. Now he does have two touchdowns the

00:55last four weeks. That's a positive trend here. Juwan Johnson is streamable this week if you're

01:00missing out on a tight end because of the buys or injuries. But I'm still going to favor Friarmuth.

01:05I like the total. I like Russell Wilson more. Derek Carr on the road in the elements with a

01:11lot less to work with. You know, I understand the Giants are missing key pieces on defense,

01:17too, but it is a little chilly here in the Northeast and Jersey. And I just think that

01:23a little the four outcome game of the Saints Giants doesn't make me feel as warm and fuzzy

01:28as Pat Friarmuth does. So I'll take Pat Friarmuth. Maybe he's capped a little bit.

01:32Maybe Juwan Johnson has eight targets today. Hard to tell, but I think I'm going to stick with

01:38the number one tight end on his team, not the guy who is too behind Taysom Hill. But Juwan Johnson,

01:43still, if you need him this week, is absolutely startable without a doubt on that fringe of tight

01:47end. Look at you coming with logic. How dare you? Don't you see what's going on out there?

01:52I'm the worst.

01:53All right. You gave a great home road split on Brock Purdy earlier in the show with regards to

01:59how well he does at home. They are at home against Chicago, but you believe that Caleb Williams and

02:04the Bears are going to win on the road at San Francisco. So here's the question. Brock Purdy

02:08or Caleb Williams? Who do you start? Who do you sit? In case you missed hour one, I'll bring it

02:13back again. On the road, number one QB rating, Brock Purdy. At home, number 32 in QB rating,

02:21Brock Purdy. This is a no brainer for me. I'm taking Caleb Williams here. The splits matter.

02:26No Christian McCaffrey, no Jordan Mason matters. We're down to the third string running back. And

02:30yeah, he can be productive and might even have a good day. But at the end of the day,

02:34I want Caleb Williams, especially with that pass rush, not being what it normally is. I think

02:39that Bears team, that game against the Lions, where they knew they had it in their hands.

02:45I think that tells you a lot. Like, hey, we're not just competing. We could have beaten the best

02:49team in the NFC, maybe even arguably the best team in the NFL. We were right there with them

02:53in their own building. I think if you could take anything out of a loss, that was a loss you could

02:57take something out of. All right. Our producer Cool Hand Luke, a man of the people, says we have

03:02time for one more. So here we go. Adam Thielen at Philadelphia or Parker Washington for Jacksonville

03:09at Tennessee. I mean, geez, I'm leaning Thielen. But Joe, what says you? I am too. Parker Washington

03:15put up some good numbers in garbage time last week with Matt Jones. But again, can we believe

03:20in it with the Tennessee Titans? That is a bit of a question mark. So Philadelphia, a really good

03:27defense as well. Much better, actually. But at the same time, I think you're seeing Adam Thielen go

03:33right back to being that guy with Bryce Young who just peppers it with targets. And this is kind of

03:37the final run for Adam Thielen, I think, in the NFL, I think. So I expect him to continue to get

03:42his. So I think the floor of Thielen is just much, much better.
