Who Should I Start? DeMario Douglas or Jack Bech

Tuesday, September 16, 3:00 AM

New England Patriots wide receiver DeMario Douglas converted his lone target into an eight-yard reception during Sunday's Week 2 win over the Miami Dolphins. It has been a quiet start to the year for Douglas, who has just three catches for six yards (plus a touchdown) through two contests so far. He has consistently been operating as the No. 3 wide receiver in New England. He also remains behind Hunter Henry and perhaps Austin Hooper in the pecking order. Douglas' snap share dropped from 63 percent in Week 1 to just 25 percent in Week 2. With a reduced role and limited volume, the 24-year-old can be dropped to waivers in most fantasy football leagues.

Through the first two weeks of his NFL career, Las Vegas Raiders rookie receiver Jack Bech has caught one ball for 23 yards. The catch came on his only target in Week 1. The second-round pick who became a fan favorite through the pre-draft process has taken the field for only nine offensive snaps to start the year. Reports out of training camp were that fourth-rounder Dont'e Thornton Jr. was the Raiders' rookie best putting himself in position to make an early impact in the passing game, and through two weeks, those reports have borne some fruit. Thornton has been on the field for 95 total snaps, turning his eight targets into three grabs for 65 yards. While Thornton Jr.'s big-play ability put him on the radar of best ball drafters, he's also worth a look in what is a relatively uninspiring week for waiver pickups. Bech can be dropped in all redraft formats.
