Won't play vs. NYG
Bech (back) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Giants.
Analysis: Bech popped up on Friday's injury report due to a back injury and has not been cleared to play Sunday after going through pregame warmups. Bech's absence means Tyler Lockett, Alex Bachman and Dont'e Thornton are in line for larger roles on offense alongside Tre Tucker. With the Raiders eliminated from playoff contention, Bech's last opportunity to play this season is Week 18 against the Chiefs.

Has back injury, iffy for Week 17
Bech (back) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Giants.
Analysis: Bech was a late addition to Friday's injury report as a limited practice participant due to a back issue, which puts the rookie second-rounder in jeopardy of missing Sunday's contest. His fantasy output has been inconsistent for most of the season, but he has been more involved in the Raiders offense as of late, accumulating 12 catches (on 15 targets) for 132 yards over Las Vegas' last four games. Tyler Lockett, Alex Bachman, Dont'e Thornton and Shedrick Jackson would be in line for more snaps…read more

Fills in as WR2
Bech caught two of three targets for 43 yards in Sunday's 23-21 loss to the Texans.
Analysis: Bech filled the WR2 role behind Tre Tucker after Tyler Lockett exited Sunday's contest early with a wrist injury, and Bech could see a similarly increased level of involvement against the Giants in Week 17 if Lockett remains sidelined. Bech has caught at least two passes in four consecutive games, but he's yet to find the end zone as a rookie.

Two catches in shutout loss
Bech brought in two of three targets for 17 yards in the Raiders' 31-0 loss to the Eagles on Sunday.
Analysis: Despite his very modest numbers, Bech was more involved than Tre Tucker, who failed to come up with any of his three targets. Bech also finished with just 11 fewer yards than team leader Brock Bowers, as spot starter Kenny Pickett averaged just 2.6 yards per attempt while throwing for 64 yards. Bech could be due for a boost in opportunity in a Week 16 road matchup against the Texans next Sunday if Geno Smith can return from his shoulder injury and/or Tyler Lockett isn't able to suit up due to…read more

Steps up as expected
Bech recorded six receptions on six targets for 50 yards in Sunday's 24-17 loss to the Broncos.
Analysis: Bech was expected to see an expanded role due to Dont'e Thornton (concussion) being sidelined. He went on to lead the team in targets, though they all came in the final 18 minutes of game time, with four of his targets coming from Kenny Pickett. While this was Bech's most productive game of his rookie season, he's difficult to trust given the state of quarterback play in Las Vegas and the potential for Thornton's return in Week 15 against the Eagles.

Chance to step up
Head coach Pete Carroll said Bech will have the chance to earn an increased role in Sunday's game against the Broncos due to the absence of Dont'e Thornton (concussion), Ryan McFadden of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Bech has had a quiet rookie season, logging only 192 offensive snaps and 15 targets across 12 games. However, with both Thornton and Alex Bachman (thumb) ruled out, the Raiders currently have only three healthy wide receivers heading into Sunday's divisional matchup. Bech should log his highest snap count of the season, though that's no guarantee of production given the state of the Raiders offense.

Targeted three times in loss
Bech caught two of three targets for 22 yards in Sunday's 31-14 loss to the Chargers.
Analysis: Despite exiting the contest momentarily with a chest injury before returning in the third quarter, Bech still managed to log more offensive snaps (27) than both Tyler Lockett (25) and Dont'e Thornton (14) in the Raiders' first game since former offensive coordinator Chip Kelly's firing. Although he's in a tough matchup against the Broncos in Week 14, Bech will continue to battle for the WR2 role behind Tre Tucker.

Logs nine offensive snaps
Bech was not targeted in Sunday's 24-10 loss to the Browns.
Analysis: Bech played just nine offensive snaps while fellow rookie Dont'e Thornton logged 30 behind Tre Tucker and Tyler Lockett. The Raiders subsequently fired offensive coordinator Chip Kelly after falling to 2-9, but Bech isn't necessarily promised additional playing time moving forward, especially given Lockett's ties to coach Pete Carroll and quarterback Geno Smith from their time together in Seattle.

Makes 19-yard grab on MNF
Bech caught his lone target for 19 yards in Monday's 33-16 loss to the Cowboys.
Analysis: Bech picked up a first down on his 19-yard reception in the first quarter of Monday's tilt, but he was relatively uninvolved thereafter, ultimately finishing the game with a 15 percent offensive snap share behind fellow receivers Tre Tucker, Tyler Lockett and Dont'e Thornton. Meanwhile, tight end Brock Bowers and running back Ashton Jeanty combined for 20 targets, further limiting Bech's opportunities within this struggling Raiders offense.

Serves as WR4 in Week 10
Bech was held without a catch on one target in Thursday's 10-7 loss to the Broncos.
Analysis: Bech was a prime candidate to benefit from Jakobi Meyers' trade deadline departure to Jacksonville, but the rookie remained well behind Tre Tucker, Dont'e Thornton and Tyler Lockett in the pecking order at wide receiver, with Bech ultimately playing just 14 offensive snaps. A much friendlier matchup against the Cowboys looms on Monday Night Football in Week 11, but Bech's opportunities to make an impact may remain limited.

Zero offensive snaps in loss
Bech did not play an offensive snap in Sunday's 30-29 overtime loss to the Jaguars.
Analysis: Bech was limited to a special teams role in Week 9, despite fellow rookie Dont'e Thornton's inactive designation as a healthy scratch. Meanwhile, 33-year-old veteran Tyler Lockett handled WR3 duties behind Jakobi Meyers and Tre Tucker, with tight ends Brock Bowers and Michael Mayer each logging an offensive snap share north of 80 percent as well. If Meyers isn't shipped before the trade deadline, Bech's fantasy outlook for Thursday's contest in Denver is bleak.

Notches pair of receptions in loss
Bech caught two passes on as many targets for 13 yards in Sunday's 31-0 loss to Kansas City.
Analysis: Bech's two receptions were good enough to make him the Raiders' second-leading receiver behind Tre Tucker, but quarterback Geno Smith completed just 10 passes all game. Las Vegas plans to have Jakobi Meyers (knee) and Brock Bowers (knee) back in the lineup following a Week 8 bye, capping Bech's fantasy upside as the WR3 on a struggling offense.

Moving into WR3 role
Bech was held without a reception on one target in Sunday's 20-10 win over the Titans.
Analysis: The 2025 second-round pick logged a season-high 46 offensive snaps while playing ahead of fellow rookie Dont'e Thornton (just two snaps on offense), but the increased playing time didn't translate into fantasy production for Bech. Meanwhile, a positive game script allowed for Ashton Jeanty and Raheem Mostert to combine for 28 total carries. A more difficult matchup at Kansas City awaits in Week 7, but Bech is still firmly behind Jakobi Meyers, Tre Tucker and, when healthy, Brock Bowers (knee)…read more

Targeted five times in Week 5
Bech caught three of five targets for 27 yards in Sunday's 40-6 loss to the Colts.
Analysis: Bech saw a significant increase in playing time Sunday, as the 22-year-old was on the field for 53 percent of the Raiders offensive snaps against the Colts after averaging roughly a 12 percent snap share in the first four games of the season. The rookie wideout's five targets, three receptions and 27 yards were all season highs for the TCU product. Nonetheless, Bech remains difficult to trust for fantasy purposes as the Raiders' No. 3 wide receiver behind Jakobi Meyers and Tre Tucker. Las Vegas…read more

Plays five offensive snaps in loss
Bech was not targeted by quarterback Geno Smith in Sunday's 25-24 loss to the Bears.
Analysis: Not only was Bech absent from Sunday's box score, but he also played just five offensive snaps while Jakobi Meyers, Tre Tucker and fellow rookie Dont'e Thornton remain well ahead in the pecking order at wide receiver. Bech figures to retain a special teams role with limited opportunities on offense against the Colts in Week 5.

One reception against Commanders
Bech caught his only target for 10 yards in Sunday's 41-24 loss to the Commanders.
Analysis: Bech's lone reception came with the Raiders trailing by 17 in the third quarter, as the TCU product remains firmly in the WR4 role behind Jakobi Meyers, Tre Tucker and fellow rookie Dont'e Thornton. Bech has just two total catches through the first three weeks of the season, and his offensive involvement could be limited again Week 4 versus the Bears.

Confirmed as early WR4 in Las Vegas
Bech caught his only target for 23 yards in Sunday's 20-13 win over the Patriots.
Analysis: Bech logged only four offensive snaps behind fellow receivers Jakobi Meyers, Tre Tucker and Dont'e Thornton, but the 2025 second-round TCU product did catch a 23-yard pass on the Raiders' second drive of the contest to get into the box score early. Although Bech looks to be confirmed as the team's WR4 to begin his career, additional snaps could become available against the Chargers in Week 2 if tight end Brock Bowers (knee) is unable to play.

Falling behind in WR competition
Bech caught one of two targets for five yards in Thursday's 23-23 preseason tie against the Seahawks.
Analysis: Despite being selected 58th overall in the 2025 NFL Draft, Bech was rumored to be facing an uphill battle for the No. 2 role at wide receiver throughout the early stages of training camp, and Thursday's preseason opener confirmed that suspicion considering Tre Tucker and fellow rookie Dont'e Thornton drew the start next to Jakobi Meyers in 11-personnel. The speed of Tucker and Thornton allow them to play on the boundary, while Bech's skill set and preferred route tree is a bit redundant with…read more

Signs rookie contract with Raiders
Bech signed a four-year deal with the Raiders on Friday.
Analysis: Bech, who was the 58th overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft, has an opportunity as a rookie to step into a key role in a Raiders wideout corps that continues to be led by Jakobi Meyers and also includes returnee Tre Tucker and 2025 fourth-rounder Dont'e Thornton. It remains to be seen what sort of volume the 6-foot-1, 214-pounder out of TCU will see out of the gate with Meyers (129 targets in 2024) and TE Brock Bowers (153 targets last season) destined to be QB Geno Smith's primary passing…read more
