News: 3 days agoBech did not play an offensive snap in Sunday's 30-29 overtime loss to the Jaguars.

Spin: 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.

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.
