Who Should I Start? Josh Downs or Jack Bech

Saturday, October 11, 9:03 AM

Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Josh Downs is off to a slow start in 2025. The veteran slot receiver has now caught just 20 passes for 175 scoreless yards in five contests. Downs thrived on seeing high volume over the past two seasons, but new Indy quarterback Daniel Jones seems to prefer throwing to Michael Pittman Jr. and Tyler Warren in the passing attack. Downs will hope to get it going in Week 6's home matchup against the Arizona Cardinals. The Cardinals are allowing the 20th-most fantasy points per game to opposing wideouts this season, setting up a moderately tough matchup for Downs and company. Downs is on the radar as a WR4/flex option in PPR leagues this season.

Las Vegas Raiders rookie wide receiver Jack Bech is beginning to make his presence felt, turning in his most productive game of the season in Week 5. After playing just 10% of snaps in Week 4, Bech saw his snap share jump to 53% and drew five targets, finishing with a career-high 27 receiving yards. While those numbers don't yet warrant fantasy consideration in standard formats, the increased involvement is an encouraging sign for the rookie's development. If Bech continues to earn a steady role in the Raiders' offensive rotation, he could emerge as a deeper-league stash with intriguing dynasty upside. For now, Bech should remain on the fantasy radar as a potential riser in an offense still searching for consistent playmakers aside from Ashton Jeanty.
