Jack Bech Reportedly Headed to IR After Suffering Broken Forearm

Sunday, September 27, 3:35 PM

Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Jack Bech (forearm) reportedly suffered a broken forearm and is headed to the injured reserve list, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network. Bech was ruled out by the Raiders early in the third quarter after getting injured during the second quarter. Bech did not record a catch on Sunday, but entered Week 3 with five catches for 48 yards and a touchdown. Quarterback Kirk Cousins and the Raiders will rely on tight ends Brock Bowers and Michael Mayer, and wide receivers Tre Tucker, Cody White, Jalen Nailor, and others in the passing game.

Zachariah Branch News

Zachariah Branch's Arrow Pointing Slightly Up, but Still Off Flex Radar in Week 3

Wednesday, September 23, 6:30 PM

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Zachariah Branch reeled in both of his targets in Week 3 for 14 yards. It is something worth monitoring, as the team's 2026 third-round draft pick could carve out a role with fellow wide receivers Jahan Dotson and Olamide Zaccheaus doing little to start off 2026, although that has mostly been the case for everyone on Atlanta not named Bijan Robinson. Still, there was some buzz surrounding Branch in camp, and with Michael Penix Jr. (knee) now back under center for the Falcons, there should be a bit more effectiveness to this offense. Put the 22-year-old on the watch list for now, but there is little reason to use him in Week 3 in a road matchup against the Packers, as the Georgia product is ranked at WR No. 103 this week at RotoBaller.
