Who Should I Start? Allen Lazard or Jack Bech

Sunday, November 30, 12:02 PM

New York Jets wide receiver Allen Lazard (neck) is officially active for the Week 13 game on Sunday against the visiting Atlanta Falcons. Lazard was listed as questionable to play this week due to a neck injury, but he's good to go and will serve as receiver depth for a weak Jets passing attack led by veteran quarterback Tyrod Taylor. Even though Garrett Wilson (knee) is on Injured Reserve, Lazard has been quickly passed on the WR depth chart by newcomers John Metchie III and Adonai Mitchell. The 29-year-old pass-catcher has not caught more than two passes in any of his seven games played in 2025, and he has just 54 receiving yards and one touchdown on eight catches. Lazard should be ignored in most fantasy football leagues against Atlanta on Sunday.

Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Jack Bech is coming off the best game of his rookie season. He caught all six of his targets for 50 yards while playing 82% of the snaps last Sunday against the Denver Broncos. He's certainly trending up in fantasy football after his big game, but his floor will take a hit this week with Kenny Pickett starting at quarterback over Geno Smith (back, shoulder) in Week 15. He could also suffer from a difficult matchup against the Philadelphia Eagles, who have allowed the 10th-fewest fantasy points and second-fewest touchdowns to opposing wide receivers in 2025. Bech could certainly replicate last week's strong showing, but he could also struggle to develop any sort of rapport with Pickett while playing against a very solid Eagles secondary. As a result, the rookie ranks as the overall WR69 in RotoBaller's Week 15 fantasy football rankings, and he can be benched or dropped in most leagues.
