The Raiders placed Bech (forearm) on injured reserve Tuesday.
Bech will be sidelined for at least the Raiders' next four games after sustaining a fractured left forearm during Sunday's 35-27 win over the Saints. In a corresponding move, the Raiders signed Cody White off their practice squad. White could be the leading candidate to replace Bech 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: Injures forearm in Week 3
Rotowire
Bech (forearm) has been ruled out for the remainder of Sunday's game against the Saints.
Bech wasn't targeted prior to being ruled out early in the second half. The next chance for the 2025 second-round pick to take the field will be Vegas' Week 4 home game against the Chiefs.

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.

Raiders' Jack Bech: Serves as WR4 in Week 10
Rotowire
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.

Raiders' Jack Bech: Week 10 Waiver Priority List
Rotowire
The Raiders traded Jakobi Meyers to the Jaguars on Tuesday, and hopefully this is a good move for Bech. The second-round rookie from TCU has been quiet so far this season with seven catches for 73 yards on 10 targets, but he should benefit the most with Meyers now gone. Bech is worth adding for 1 percent of your remaining FAB. You can also take a flier on fellow rookie Dont'e Thornton Jr. (5 percent rostered), and maybe he'll also see an uptick in playing time and production with Meyers gone. Thornton only has five catches for 94 yards on 19 targets so far this year, and he's worth adding in for 1 percent of your remaining FAB as well.

Raiders' Jack Bech: Stashes (WR Preview)
Rotowire
Bech is a Round 2 rookie who could immediately step into Jakobi Meyers' role. You don't want to start him this week against the Broncos, but if he is a full-time player in Week 10, we will be very optimistic in Week 11 against the Cowboys. It would make all the sense in the world for the Raiders to see what they have from their young guys as the season gets out of hand.

Raiders' Jack Bech: Zero offensive snaps in loss
Rotowire
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.

Raiders' Jack Bech: Notches pair of receptions in loss
Rotowire
Bech caught two passes on as many targets for 13 yards in Sunday's 31-0 loss to Kansas City.
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.
