Who Should I Start? Ray-Ray McCloud III or Jack Bech

Sunday, November 9, 12:29 AM

According to Dan Salomone of Giants.com, the New York Giants have elevated wide receiver Ray-Ray McCloud III from the practice squad to the active roster ahead of Sunday's matchup with the hosting Chicago Bears. McCloud III will suit up for a second consecutive game for the Giants after joining the squad roughly two weeks ago. In his debut, the 29-year-old played the second-most snaps of all New York wideouts (91%). However, he was targeted just once (1/5). While he may boast more work as he becomes more comfortable in his new surroundings, the Giants' passing offense has not found consistent success supporting multiple fantasy wide receivers. McCloud III will rank as RotoBaller's PPR WR88 for his clash with Chicago.

When the Las Vegas Raiders traded away veteran wide receiver Jakobi Meyers at the NFL trade deadline, there was a thought that rookie wideout Jack Bech might see more playing time. However, across the two games that have followed, Bech has recorded just one catch for 19 yards on two targets. The 22-year-old played just nine offensive snaps in the Raiders' 33-16 Week 11 loss to the Dallas Cowboys. For the time being, Bech remains behind Tre Tucker, Tyler Lockett, and Dont'e Thornton Jr. on his team's wide receiver depth chart. Las Vegas also utilizes a lot of two-tight end formations with Brock Bowers and Michael Mayer, which limits the opportunities for its depth wide receivers. Bech maintains some long-term fantasy appeal in dynasty formats, but it does not appear as though the production is going to come for him in 2025.
