Who Should I Start? DeAndre Hopkins or Jack Bech

Saturday, October 4, 2:19 PM

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins has been limited to the lowest-usage role of his career so far in 2025, recording five catches for 112 yards and two touchdowns on seven targets through four games. Hopkins has yet to play more than 35% of the offensive snaps in any of Baltimore's games. With Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson (hamstring) sidelined for Week 5, it will be tough to trust that backup QB Cooper Rush will be able to get Hopkins the downfield and end zone targets he needs to be effective. Additionally, the Ravens face one of the NFL's best pass defenses in the Houston Texans, who have allowed the second-fewest number of touchdown passes (three) in the league. Hopkins should be avoided by fantasy managers in Week 5.

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.
