News: 5 hours agoHead 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.

Spin: 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.

ESPN Fantasy Projection: Bech was selected by Las Vegas in the second round of April's draft. He was used sparingly for much of his first three collegiate seasons prior to busting out with a 62-1,034-9 showing in 2024. He can align all over the formation and figures to do most of his damage in the short-to-intermediate range. With, at least, Jakobi Meyers and Brock Bowers ahead of him for targets, Bech is unlikely to make a short-term impact. The TCU product doesn't need to be drafted, but is a name to keep on your watch list.
