Jack Bech Injury News & Updates

Bech was held without a catch on one target in Thursday's 10-7 loss to the Broncos.

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.

Bech did not play an offensive snap in Sunday's 30-29 overtime loss to the Jaguars.

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.

Bech caught two passes on as many targets for 13 yards in Sunday's 31-0 loss to the Chiefs.

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.

Bech was held without a reception on one target in Sunday's 20-10 win over the Titans.

Bech logged a season-high 46 offensive snaps while playing ahead of fellow rookie Dont'e Thornton in the Raiders' WR3 role, but the increased playing time didn't translate to fantasy production for Bech. Meanwhile, a positive game script allowed for Ashton Jeanty and Raheem Mostert to combine for 28 total carries, though a more difficult matchup at Kansas City in Week 7 awaits.

Bech caught three of five targets for 27 yards in Sunday's 40-6 loss to the Colts.

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 will look to get their struggling offense back on track in a Week 6 matchup against the Titans.

Bech was not targeted by quarterback Geno Smith in Sunday's 25-24 loss to the Bears.

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.

Bech caught his only target for 10 yards in Sunday's 41-24 loss to the Commanders.

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.

Bech caught his only target for 23 yards in Sunday's 20-13 win over the Patriots.

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 in the box score early. Although Bech looks to be confirmed as the team's WR4, additional snaps could become available against the Chargers in Week 2 if tight end Brock Bowers (knee) is unable to play.

Bech caught one of two targets for five yards in Thursday's 23-23 preseason tie against the Seahawks.

Despite being selected 58th overall in April's 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 as 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 skillset and preferred route tree is a bit redundant with those of Meyers and tight end Brock Bowers, so playing time could be limited for the second-round TCU product early in 2025.

Bech signed a four-year deal with the Raiders on Friday.

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 targets, but Bech could emerge as a lineup option in deeper formats if he's able to earn consistent playing time as the 2025 regular season progresses.

The Raiders selected Bech (knee) in the second round of the 2025 NFL Draft, 58th overall.

Bech started out at LSU splitting time between receiver and tight end before settling in as a full-time receiver at TCU beginning in 2023. He brings tight-end-level physicality to the wide receiver position at 6-foot and 214 pounds, with film that routinely shows him running through tackles. Bech took off in 2024 with more receiving yards (1,034) and touchdowns (nine) than he had in his previous three years combined. A lot of targets in the Raiders' offense are allocated to Jakobi Meyers and Brock Bowers, but there's still room for a third pass catcher. Bech has the talent to assume that role, especially considering Las Vegas' relative lack of competition for him currently on the roster.
