The Las Vegas Raiders were missing both tight end Brock Bowers (knee) and wide receiver Jakobi Meyers (knee, toe) in the Week 7 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday, but rookie wideout Jack Bech still managed only two catches for 13 yards on two targets. The struggling Raiders offense wasn't able to do much of anything with the Chiefs' defense pinning their ears back after taking an early big lead. Quarterback Geno Smith was only able to complete 10 passes on the day. The 22-year-old Bech and fellow rookie Dont'e Thornton Jr. have both struggled to produce for the 2-5 Raiders, but it hasn't entirely been their fault. Bech now has only seven catches on 10 targets for 73 yards and no touchdowns in his first seven NFL games, and his chances of making an impact are only going to decrease with both Bowers and Meyers expected to return in Week 9 following the team's bye.

Las Vegas Raiders rookie wide receiver Jack Bech is beginning to make his presence felt, turning in his most productive game of the season in Week 5. After playing just 10% of snaps in Week 4, Bech saw his snap share jump to 53% and drew five targets, finishing with a career-high 27 receiving yards. While those numbers don't yet warrant fantasy consideration in standard formats, the increased involvement is an encouraging sign for the rookie's development. If Bech continues to earn a steady role in the Raiders' offensive rotation, he could emerge as a deeper-league stash with intriguing dynasty upside. For now, Bech should remain on the fantasy radar as a potential riser in an offense still searching for consistent playmakers aside from Ashton Jeanty.

Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Jack Bech remains off the fantasy radar heading into Week 5 against the Indianapolis Colts. Bech has delivered minimal contributions on offense so far, catching just two passes for 33 yards on a mere 12 percent snap share. The TCU second-rounder still has immense upside, but his production so far leaves a lot to be desired. For the moment, he remains buried behind Jakobi Meyers, Tre Tucker, and Donte Thornton Jr. on the depth chart. As a result, Bech can be dropped in all redraft leagues and benched in most dynasty formats.

Las Vegas Raiders rookie wide receiver Jack Bech is slowly working his way into the offensive rotation, logging a season-high 24% of snaps in Week 3 after playing just six and seven percent in the first two weeks. He turned his lone target into a 10-yard reception, showing he can capitalize on limited opportunities. While Bech has yet to display meaningful fantasy value, his increased playing time is an encouraging sign for a player drafted in the second round out of TCU with high expectations. For now, he should remain on the waiver wire, but fantasy managers in deeper leagues should keep an eye on Bech's role to see if he continues trending upward.

Las Vegas Raiders rookie wide receiver Jack Bech saw his playing time increase in Week 3. After logging under 7% of the snaps in Weeks 1 and 2, Bech played 24% in Week 3 and caught his lone target for 10 yards. His improved usage came at the expense of Dont'e Thornton, whose snap share dipped from 81% in Week 2 to 59% in Week 3. Bech still sits behind Jakobi Meyers, Tre Tucker, and Thornton in the receiver rotation, but the uptick in snaps is an encouraging sign for his development. He's not yet a fantasy factor, but Bech is a name to keep on the radar if his role continues to grow.

Through the first two weeks of his NFL career, Las Vegas Raiders rookie receiver Jack Bech has caught one ball for 23 yards. The catch came on his only target in Week 1. The second-round pick who became a fan favorite through the pre-draft process has taken the field for only nine offensive snaps to start the year. Reports out of training camp were that fourth-rounder Dont'e Thornton Jr. was the Raiders' rookie best putting himself in position to make an early impact in the passing game, and through two weeks, those reports have borne some fruit. Thornton has been on the field for 95 total snaps, turning his eight targets into three grabs for 65 yards. While Thornton Jr.'s big-play ability put him on the radar of best ball drafters, he's also worth a look in what is a relatively uninspiring week for waiver pickups. Bech can be dropped in all redraft formats.

Las Vegas Raiders rookie wide receiver Jack Bech opens his career in a reserve role, buried on the depth chart behind Jakobi Meyers, Dont'e Thornton Jr., and Tre Tucker. While the No. 58 overall pick carries long-term appeal, particularly as a potential down-the-road replacement for Meyers, his Week 1 outlook is limited. The Raiders' run-heavy approach and crowded receiver room leave little room for Bech to carve out immediate value. Dynasty managers should continue to stash him, as his skill set suggests eventual fantasy relevance. In redraft leagues, however, Bech is safe to drop in favor of players with clearer early-season opportunities.

Las Vegas Raiders rookie wideout Jack Bech enters 2025 as a depth option in Chip Kelly's retooled offense. A second-round pick and former second-team All-Big 12 performer, Bech managed just four preseason receptions but flashed traits that have coaches intrigued. His combination of size, toughness, and ball skills make him a reliable possession target, while his body control and catch focus allow him to win contested situations. Though early-season opportunities may be limited, Bech's ability to battle defenders, track the ball downfield, and generate yards after contact could earn him a larger role as the season progresses.

Las Vegas Raiders rookie wide receiver Jack Bech "has some work to do to make up ground" in the battle for a starting role next to veteran Jakobi Meyers, according to Tashan Reed. Reed writes that Bech is competing with fellow rookie Dont'e Thornton and third-year speedster Tre Tucker for playing time. He also notes that Thornton stood out in offseason workouts and that Tucker worked ahead of Bech during OTAs. The Raiders drafted Bech in the second round out of TCU in April. He recorded 62 catches for 1,034 yards and nine touchdowns in 12 games for the Horned Frogs in 2024. Bech is known as a slot receiver, but he's blocked by Meyers and star tight end Brock Bowers for that role in Las Vegas. He's still an intriguing late-round dart throw in re-draft leagues due to his talent and draft pedigree, but it appears Bech has improvements to make before he can be counted on for fantasy production.

The Las Vegas Raiders and rookie wide receiver Jack Bech have come to terms on a four-year contract, according to Tashan Reed of The Athletic. Bech was one of the many second-round selections in this year's draft who had extended rookie-contract negotiations. However, it appears that he'll be in camp when the Raiders begin full-team activities on July 22. Bech played two years in college at LSU before transferring to TCU for his final two collegiate seasons. He had a breakout senior campaign in 2024, recording 62 catches for 1,034 yards and nine touchdowns in 12 games played. He'll be competing with third-year receiver Tre Tucker and fellow rookies Dont'e Thornton Jr. and Tommy Mellott for the WR2 job in Las Vegas behind veteran Jakobi Meyers. Opportunity exists for Bech to emerge as a fantasy-relevant rookie, so it's positive news that he'll have a full training camp to build chemistry with Raiders quarterback Geno Smith.

Las Vegas Raiders rookie second-round wide receiver Jack Bech has flashed during offseason workouts, but ESPN's Ryan McFadden points out that the majority of his reps have come with the second-team offense. "Dont'e and Jack did their stuff," head coach Pete Carroll said. "The idea is to force those guys to play early, and to do that, you have to ask them to do things they're good at." Dont'e Thornton Jr., the team's fourth-round selection, saw more action with the first-team offense. It's not a great sign for the 23-year-old Bech, but a lot can still happen in training camp this summer. Jakobi Meyers and tight end Brock Bowers are the top two targets in this offense, but there is opportunity beyond that. However, in what should be a much more balanced offensive attack that features a lot of first-round running back Ashton Jeanty, this might be a developmental year for Bech.

Las Vegas Raiders second-round rookie wide receiver Jack Bech is a strong candidate to be an immediate starter in his first NFL season, according to the Las Vegas Review-Journal's Vincent Bonsignore. The TCU product was taken with the 58th overall pick on Day 2 and should line up next to Jakobi Meyers and Tre Tucker in starting three-wide sets. Rookie fourth-rounder Dont'e Thornton Jr. out of Tennessee could also push Tucker for playing time as a deep threat in 2025. Like Meyers and Tucker, Bech can play inside and outside and will likely be used in different spots on the field. The 23-year-old will probably be behind tight Brock Bowers and Meyers in terms of targets in his rookie year, but he'll be working with an established veteran quarterback in Geno Smith and could be worth a late-round dart throw in deep redraft leagues. Bech will be a solid target in rookie-only drafts once the top names at receiver come off the board.
