Who Should I Start? Dyami Brown or Jack Bech

Friday, October 31, 12:48 PM

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Dyami Brown is firmly in the mix as a waiver-wire pickup before the team's Week 9 contest on Sunday against the Las Vegas Raiders after the Jaguars placed rookie first-rounder Travis Hunter (knee) on Injured Reserve on Friday due to a knee injury that he suffered in Thursday's practice. Brown and Parker Washington are both worthy waiver-wire pickups with expanded roles coming in Jacksonville's passing game alongside Brian Thomas Jr. (shoulder). The 25-year-old Brown is only rostered in 2% of Yahoo leagues currently, but he should be seeing a drastic bump in volume and added targets in the coming weeks. He enters this weekend's action with 16 catches on 27 targets for 194 yards and one touchdown in six games so far this season. Washington should probably be the priority off waivers for fantasy managers in need of WR help.

The Las Vegas Raiders were missing both tight end Brock Bowers (knee) and wide receiver Jakobi Meyers (knee, toe) in the Week 7 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday, but rookie wideout Jack Bech still managed only two catches for 13 yards on two targets. The struggling Raiders offense wasn't able to do much of anything with the Chiefs' defense pinning their ears back after taking an early big lead. Quarterback Geno Smith was only able to complete 10 passes on the day. The 22-year-old Bech and fellow rookie Dont'e Thornton Jr. have both struggled to produce for the 2-5 Raiders, but it hasn't entirely been their fault. Bech now has only seven catches on 10 targets for 73 yards and no touchdowns in his first seven NFL games, and his chances of making an impact are only going to decrease with both Bowers and Meyers expected to return in Week 9 following the team's bye.
