Who Should I Start? Roman Wilson or Jack Bech

The Las Vegas Raiders have made a near-total overhaul to a roster that went a league-worst 3-14 in 2025, but one position group that has gone largely untouched is wide receiver, which should provide ample opportunity for 2025 second-round pick Jack Bech to improve upon his rookie season. In his first year out of TCU, Bech caught only 20 passes for 224 yards with zero scores, but with Jalen Nailor representing Vegas's biggest addition through either free agency or the draft, the path to a larger workload is clear and obvious. Despite signing a three-year, $35 million deal, Nailor has never reached 30 receptions or 450 yards through four seasons with the Vikings, and he joins a wide receiver room that was led by Tre Tucker in 2025 with only 696 yards on 57 receptions. The top true receiver on the team is, and will be, tight end Brock Bowers, while running back Ashton Jeanty could be in line for the team's second biggest target share after making 55 catches as a rookie, but the rest of the receiving competition is not insurmountable. At RotoBaller's dynasty WR84, the 23-year-old Bech is a low-cost buy, and with the Raiders bypassing the chance to take Indiana's Elijah Sarratt in the fourth round of the NFL Draft, he could become the new big-bodied ball winner for first overall pick Fernando Mendoza.
