Raiders' Jack Bech: Makes one catch against SF in Week 9
Rotowire
Bech caught one of two targets for nine yards Sunday in a loss to the 49ers.
Bech logged a 34 percent offensive snap share, third-highest among Raiders wideouts behind Jalen Nailor (74 percent) and Tre Tucker (64 percent). Though he seems fairly secure in the No. 3 wideout role, Bech hasn't done much this season, producing no more than three catches or 25 yards in any of his five games to date.

Raiders' Jack Bech: Gets no targets in return
Rotowire
Bech finished without a target or touch in Sunday's 38-33 Week 8 win over the Jets.
Bech returned from a four-game absence due to a forearm injury and logged a 40 percent offensive snap share, but he didn't get any looks from QB Kirk Cousins. In fact, Cousins didn't go to his wideout corps as a whole very often -- 16 of his 26 targets went to tight ends, and another four went to running back Ashton Jeanty. Bech will look to get back into the box score Sunday in a Week 9 matchup in San Francisco.

Raiders' Jack Bech: Cleared to return for Week 8
Rotowire
The Raiders activated Bech (forearm) from injured reserve Saturday, and he does not carry an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Jets, Sam Warren of The Athletic reports.
Bech has progressed enough in his recovery from a fractured forearm to return Sunday from a four-game absence. Tre Tucker and Brock Bowers will both be the preferred targets for Kirk Cousins, but the addition of Bech gives the veteran QB another set of hands in the passing game. Bech caught five of seven targets for 48 yards and a touchdown across the Raiders' first two games of the regular season.

Raiders' Jack Bech: Expected to be activated from IR
Rotowire
The Raiders are expected to activate Bech (forearm) injured reserve Saturday ahead of Sunday's game against the Jets, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Bech drew the questionable tag for Sunday's game after logging a trio of full practices during Week 8 prep. He's missed the Raiders' last four games while recovering from a fractured forearm, but it appears the second-year pro has progressed enough in his recovery to make his return. Bech will likely work in a rotational role alongside Cody White and Dont'e Thornton and behind Tre Tucker and Jalen Nailor.

Raiders' Jack Bech: Questionable for Week 8
Rotowire
Bech (forearm) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game at the Jets, Sam Warren of The Athletic reports.
Bech was a full practice participant Wednesday through Friday, so it won't come as any surprise if he's activated from injured reserve before the 4 p.m. ET deadline Saturday (to be eligible for Sunday's game). He opened the year as the Raiders' No. 2 wide receiver, but minimal production from Jalen Nailor could open an opportunity to climb the depth chart in November/December.

Raiders' Jack Bech: Practicing fully this week
Rotowire
Bech (forearm) practiced fully Thursday.
Since being designated for return from injured reserve Monday, Bech has logged consecutive full practices. Should the wideout maintain that level of activity Friday, he'll have a chance to suit up Sunday against the Jets. For that to happen, Bech will need to come of IR by Saturday. If that transpires, the 2025 second-rounder will have a chance to boost a Las Vegas WR corps that has yielded modest production thus far apart from Tre Tucker.

Raiders' Jack Bech: Making return to practice
Rotowire
The Raiders designated Bech (forearm) for return from injured reserve Monday.
The transaction opens up a 21-day window wherein Bech can practice with the team while the Raiders evaluate him for a potential return to the 53-man roster. Before fracturing his left forearm in a Week 3 win over the Saints, Bech had recorded five receptions for 48 yards and a touchdown on six targets while serving as the Raiders' No. 3 wideout behind Tre Tucker and Jalen Nailor.

Raiders' Jack Bech: Headed for IR
Rotowire
Raiders head coach Klint Kubiak confirmed Monday that Bech (forearm) is slated to be placed on injured reserve, Paul Gutierrez of the team's official site reports.
Bech will be sidelined for at least the next four games after he sustained a broken left forearm in Sunday's 35-27 win over the Saints. His impending move to IR could open up a roster spot for fellow wideout Cody White, who is no longer eligible to be elevated from the practice squad after being called up for each of the first three games. Bech had served as Las Vegas' No. 3 receiver to begin the season, tallying five receptions for 48 yards and a touchdown on six targets.

Raiders' Jack Bech: IR stint expected
Rotowire
Bech suffered a broken forearm in Sunday's game against the Saints and is expected to go on injured reserve, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Bech's broken forearm isn't expected to be season-ending, but the wide receiver will face an absence of at least four weeks if he's placed on injured reserve, which would require an official transaction from the Raiders. He didn't record a catch Sunday prior to being ruled out against the Saints.

Raiders' Jack Bech: Corrals two balls Sunday
Rotowire
Bech caught both of his targets for 25 yards Sunday in a 26-14 victory versus the Chargers.
Bech started at wideout for Las Vegas and ended up playing 34 of the team's 63 offensive snaps, the third-highest tally among Raiders WRs behind Tre Tucker (48) and Jalen Nailor (41). Bech didn't have a huge game, but he did haul in a 20-yard reception that resulted in a first-and-goal at the four-yard line. Through two games this season, Bech has five catches on six targets for 48 yards and a touchdown.

Raiders' Jack Bech: Could earn big role in Year 2
Rotowire
Bech performed well during OTAs and could be a key part of Vegas' receiving corps under new head coach Klint Kubiak, Michael Canelo of SI.com reports.
Bech had just 20 catches for 224 yards across 16 regular-season games as a rookie, but the 2025 second-round pick could get more opportunities in his second season as part of an underwhelming Raiders wide receiver room that also includes Tre Tucker, Jalen Nailor, Dont'e Thornton and Malik Benson. Canelo's colleague Jared Feinberg describes Bech as a savvy route runner, and Bech's ability to get open with crisp routes should be rewarded more than it was in his rookie year if the Raiders get better quarterback play out of newcomers Fernando Mendoza and Kirk Cousins.

Raiders' Jack Bech: Held catchless in Week 18
Rotowire
Bech failed to reel in either of his two targets in Sunday's 14-12 win over the Chiefs. He finished his rookie regular season with 20 receptions for 224 yards on 29 targets over 16 games.
Bech struggled to get anything going Sunday, much like the majority of his rookie season with the Raiders. The 23-year-old wideout was not a major part of the Raiders' offensive plans this season, while tight end Brock Bowers and fellow wide receiver Tre Tucker stepped up as the focal points of the team's passing attack. With subpar quarterback play and a struggling offense, Bech was not in an ideal situation to start out his professional career. The TCU product should continue to improve and will hope to see more consistent play at signal caller when he returns for the 2026 season in Las Vegas.

Raiders' Jack Bech: Logs full practice Wednesday
Rotowire
Bech (back) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice, Paul Gutierrez of the Raiders' official site reports.
Bech was a late addition to the Raiders' injury report during Week 17 prep, which resulted in him being sidelined for this past Sunday's loss against the Giants. He was able to practice without restriction Wednesday, which puts the rookie second-rounder on track to play in Sunday's regular-season finale against the Chiefs. Bech has accumulated 20 catches (on 27 targets) for 224 yards through the first 15 regular-season games of his NFL career.

Raiders' Jack Bech: Won't play vs. NYG
Rotowire
Bech (back) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Giants.
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.

Raiders' Jack Bech: Has back injury, iffy for Week 17
Rotowire
Bech (back) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Giants.
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 on offense if Bech is ruled out for Week 17.

Raiders' Jack Bech: Two catches in shutout loss
Rotowire
Bech brought in two of three targets for 17 yards in the Raiders' 31-0 loss to the Eagles on Sunday.
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 the wrist injury that he suffered in the second half of Sunday's loss.

Raiders' Jack Bech: Steps up as expected
Rotowire
Bech recorded six receptions on six targets for 50 yards in Sunday's 24-17 loss to the Broncos.
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.

Raiders' Jack Bech: Chance to step up
Rotowire
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.
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.

Raiders' Jack Bech: Targeted three times in loss
Rotowire
Bech caught two of three targets for 22 yards in Sunday's 31-14 loss to the Chargers.
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.

Raiders' Jack Bech: Logs nine offensive snaps
Rotowire
Bech was not targeted in Sunday's 24-10 loss to the Browns.
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.
