Jack Bech, Jack Bech Off Fantasy Radars in Week 16 Against the Houston Texans

Las Vegas Raiders rookie wide receiver Jack Bech was pretty quiet in Week 15 against the Philadelphia Eagles, logging two receptions for 17 yards off three targets. Notably, the young pass catcher's playtime was remarkably consistent between Weeks 14 and 15. In both games, Bech played 81% of the snaps, ran 82% of the team's routes, and had two targets with over ten air yards. The rookie wide receiver has a terrible matchup in Week 16 on the road against the Houston Texans and their top-rated defense, which is likely to hamper his fantasy production. Bech is quarterback Geno Smith's (shoulder, back) fourth or fifth receiving option, but he is carving out his niche and potential future with the Raiders heading into the season's final weeks. As a result, the rookie remains relevant only in dynasty leagues as a stash and is unlikely to warrant a starting position in Week 16 for redraft leagues.

Tre Tucker, Tre Tucker Unlikely to Bounce Back Against the Texans in Week 16

Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Tre Tucker failed to haul in a single catch on three targets in the team's 31-0 defeat against the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 15. The 24-year-old pass catcher has a terrible matchup in Week 16 on the road against the Houston Texans and their top-rated defense. Tucker is primarily an intermediate-to-deep threat with his 10.5 average air yards per target. Still, the Texans are giving up an average of 5.1 passing yards per play this season, which is likely to limit Tucker's upside. Since Week 9, Tucker has averaged a 96% snap share and a near-perfect route participation rate, but has only 17 receptions for 185 yards and one touchdown over that span. The third-year wide receiver is still getting ample opportunities to produce, which may be appealing to deep league fantasy managers. However, Tucker is being profiled as a WR4/Flex and is outside starting lineups in most Week 16 formats.

Geno Smith, Geno Smith Returning in Week 16, Has Brutal Matchup Against the Texans

Las Vegas Raiders quarterback Geno Smith (shoulder, back) will return this Sunday on the road in Houston against the top-rated Texans defense in Week 16. He practiced in full all week and was removed from the team's injury report heading into Sunday's game. Smith has failed to pass over 175 yards in five of his last eight starts, and the Texans have held opposing quarterbacks to a league-best 12.9 fantasy points per game this season. In his previous start in Week 14 against the Denver Broncos, Smith completed 13 of his 21 pass attempts for 116 yards and one touchdown. In Week 16, the veteran quarterback will need to rely on rookie running back Ashton Jeanty and tight end Brock Bowers for short, quick passes as the Texans' defense allows quarterbacks a mere 2.73 seconds to throw, which is tied for first in the league. Only desperate two-QB Superflex league fantasy managers should consider the 35-year-old Smith as a starter in Week 16.

Michael Mayer, Michael Mayer Remains Stuck in Backup Role for Week 16

Las Vegas Raiders tight end Michael Mayer remains off the fantasy radar ahead of Week 16 against the Houston Texans. Mayer was productive during his short stint as the team's starting tight end earlier this season, but he fell off the fantasy radar when superstar tight end Brock Bowers returned to the mix mid-year. Mayer has dealt with his own injury problems, too, as the 24-year-old was sidelined for Weeks 13 and 14. In his return to action last week, he played just 19% of the offensive snaps and wasn't targeted in Vegas' Kenny Pickett-led offense. Geno Smith will return as the Raiders' starting quarterback this upcoming Sunday, but that shouldn't change Mayer's fantasy outlook much. He is averaging just 2.0 catches, 15.3 yards, and zero touchdowns in games where Bowers is active.

Tre Tucker, Tre Tucker Continues to Lose Fantasy Value

Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Tre Tucker gave fantasy managers a goose egg as he failed to haul in any of his three targets during last week's loss to the Philadelphia Eagles. Tucker wasn't offering much fantasy value before Week 15. Over his last four games, Tucker has been held to under 30 receiving yards in all of those contests. The Raiders' offense has been unwatchable throughout most of the season, so it's not all Tucker's fault. At the moment, Brock Bowers seems to be the only playable pass-catcher on this offense. It's unlikely Tucker will get things going against the Houston Texans' elite secondary. A unit that has allowed the fourth-fewest fantasy points to wideouts this season. Tucker hasn't given fantasy managers any reason to trust him at the moment and is an option in deep leagues at best.
