Who Should I Start? Alec Pierce or Jack Bech

Friday, November 21, 4:35 PM

Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Alec Pierce will come out of his Week 11 bye to take on the Kansas City Chiefs on the road in Week 12. Pierce has enjoyed a mini-breakout in 2025, catching 28 passes for 585 yards and one touchdown in eight games, putting him on pace to set new career highs in catches and receiving yards. The veteran wideout would be garnering more notoriety, but he has only scored one touchdown despite averaging 20.9 yards per catch. Pierce is due for some positive regression in the scoring department, but remains a solid flex option in all fantasy leagues even without the TDs. Fantasy managers can insert him into starting lineups in Week 12, despite a tough matchup against a KC defense that is allowing just the 27th-most fantasy points per game to the position.

When the Las Vegas Raiders traded away veteran wide receiver Jakobi Meyers at the NFL trade deadline, there was a thought that rookie wideout Jack Bech might see more playing time. However, across the two games that have followed, Bech has recorded just one catch for 19 yards on two targets. The 22-year-old played just nine offensive snaps in the Raiders' 33-16 Week 11 loss to the Dallas Cowboys. For the time being, Bech remains behind Tre Tucker, Tyler Lockett, and Dont'e Thornton Jr. on his team's wide receiver depth chart. Las Vegas also utilizes a lot of two-tight end formations with Brock Bowers and Michael Mayer, which limits the opportunities for its depth wide receivers. Bech maintains some long-term fantasy appeal in dynasty formats, but it does not appear as though the production is going to come for him in 2025.
