Who Should I Start? Marquez Valdes-Scantling or Jack Bech

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Marquez Valdes-Scantling saw zero targets on 15 routes run in Week 1. With George Kittle (hamstring) now on injured reserve and Jauan Jennings (shoulder) tagged as questionable for San Francisco's Week 2 matchup against the Saints, it is possible that Valdes-Scantling plays a bigger role on Sunday. Unfortunately, Brock Purdy (toe, shoulder) has been ruled out so it will be Mac Jones under center, limiting Valdes-Scantling's upside even if he does see more playing time. MVS does have the ability to stretch the field but Jones' career completion rate on passes of 20 or more air yards is a mere 30%, effectively negating that threat. If it were Purdy running the show, Valdes-Scantling would have more potential but as it is, he has little viability in Week 2.

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.
