Who Should I Start? Andrei Iosivas or Jack Bech

Tuesday, December 2, 9:32 AM

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Andrei Iosivas has gotten extra playing time the last two weeks with Ja'Marr Chase (suspension) and Tee Higgins (concussion) missing time. Iosivas had four catches for 61 yards against the Patriots without Chase, but he only managed one catch for 29 yards against the Ravens. He still had a solid fantasy day, though, since his 29-yard catch went for a touchdown. With Higgins still in the concussion protocol as the week of preparation begins for the Bengals' trip to Buffalo, Iosivas could be in an expanded role again this week. If Higgins is out again, Iosivas will be a high-risk flex play with good upside since he should be set for more targets once again as Joe Burrow settles in and the Bengals try to make a late playoff push. Until Higgins is cleared, Iosivas still has solid fantasy value and potential.

Las Vegas Raiders rookie wide receiver Jack Bech is expected to have an expanded role during the Week 14 matchup versus the Denver Broncos, with fellow rookie Dont'e Thornton Jr. (concussion) ruled out. The Raiders are banged up with only three healthy wideouts right now. Last week, Bech hauled in two of his three targets for 22 yards in the loss to the Los Angeles Chargers. He played 56 percent of the offensive snaps, which was the most for Bech since Week 7. The rookie wideout figures to see more of the field on Sunday, but production isn't guaranteed, especially against one of the best defenses in the NFL. The Raiders have struggled to move the ball in the passing game this season. Bech should be viewed as a risky flex option, even in the deepest of leagues, for Week 14.
