Who Should I Start? DeAndre Hopkins or Jack Bech

Saturday, November 15, 8:00 AM

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins could be on the docket for some added targets in Week 11 with Rashod Bateman (ankle) officially sidelined. Hopkins hasn't really seen many targets since the first two weeks of the season, but he did show he still has the ability to make some tough catches in traffic when needed. Their opponent, the Cleveland Browns, is one of the tougher units against opposing receivers, though. They allow 30.12 fantasy points per game to opposing receiving groups with a total of 1,118 yards and 10 touchdowns. Hopkins is still projected outside of the top 50 at receiver despite Bateman missing the game, so he would be quite the dart throw option as a flex, even in deeper leagues.

Las Vegas Raiders rookie wide receiver Jack Bech did not play a snap in Week 9's loss to Jacksonville. Despite being selected 58th overall out of TCU, he has just seven receptions for 73 yards through eight games. With Jakobi Meyers traded to Jacksonville, Bech is positioned to see increased snaps moving forward. In the one game Meyers missed this season, Bech logged a season-high 63% snap share. That increased opportunity may not translate into fantasy value this week. Denver has allowed the fewest fantasy points to opposing wide receivers, making this a difficult matchup to expect meaningful production. Bech is worth monitoring on Thursday night, but he should remain on waivers in all formats for now.
