Jack Bech is a fantasy football sleeper and value in 2025 fantasy football rookie drafts. Read the fantasy football outlook for the new Raiders wide receiver.
DRAFT PICK: 2nd Round (#58 Overall Pick)
TEAM: Las Vegas Raiders
ROOKIE DRAFT ANALYSIS: Jack Bech is an interesting WR. Despite not testing at the 2025 NFL Combine, at least not in the all-important 40-yard dash, Bech was selected in Round 2. He'll immediately be fighting with targets with tight end Brock Bowers and wide receiver Jakobi Meyers.
But the role played by WR Tre Tucker last year for the Raiders featured quite a bit of volume, and if Bech simply steps into his shoes, which seems likely, there's a solid chance he could contribute significantly to a Raiders offense that got a big quarterback upgrade this offseason.

Bech shines especially at the catch point. He's also a good route-runner. But it's the skills when he's fighting with a defensive player for possession of the ball that are the most impressive thing about his tape. Some football film analysts have even likened him to Los Angeles Rams WR Puka Nacua.
That's a lofty comparison, but it's not without reason. Bech is a beast when going up for catches. He has very secure hands and does a good job leveraging his body to box out defenders. And he just seems to come down with strong, tough catches more often than not.
Another similarity with Nacua is how good Bech is after the catch. He has impressive power and pushes forward with relentless determination, often gaining those few extra crucial yards to pick up first downs and put his team in a more advantageous position.
He's a solid fundamental route-runner, and though he doesn't generate huge separation often, usually owing to his less-than-average athleticism at the position, not every WR needs to win with speed or acceleration. Bech has the talent to challenge WR Jakobi Meyers for the WR1 position. That's impressive stuff.
