Raiders HC Klint Kubiak singled out WR Tre Tucker while discussing the team's WR room, calling him a quiet leader whose hard work and play style have rubbed off on the younger WRs. Tucker, a 2023 third-round pick with blazing 4.40 speed, now has the longest Raiders tenure of any WR on the team.

The Las Vegas Raiders selected Oregon WR Malik Benson in Round 6 of the 2026 NFL Draft. Benson starred for two seasons at Hutchinson Community College and left as the school’s all-time leader in receiving yards (2,152). That breakout caught Nick Saban’s eye and earned him a transfer to Alabama. But the jump in competition crushed the production. Benson wound up seventh on the Tide in catches (13) and sixth in receiving yards (162). A 2024 move to Florida State found only marginal improvement (25-311-1), due at least in part to poor QB play. Benson bounced back this past season at Oregon, leading the team with 719 receiving yards and finishing second to TE Kenyon Sadiq with 43 catches and 6 TDs. His 2.60 yards per route ranked seventh among the 49 WRs invited to this year’s Combine. Benson averaged 16.7 yards per catch for the Ducks and confirmed that big-play ability with a 4.37-second 40 time at the Combine. He’s undersized at 189 pounds, though, and enters the NFL as an unrefined 23-year-old.

Raiders WR Jack Bech (back) is inactive for today’s game vs. the Giants. RB Ashton Jeanty, WR Tre Tucker, and TE Michael Mayer should be the engines of Vegas’ passing game in this one.

Raiders WR Jack Bech was added to the injury report and limited in practice on Friday with a back issue. He's listed as questionable for this weekend's game vs. the Giants. Even with TE Brock Bowers out, Bech shouldn't be in your Week 17 fantasy plans. The rookie hasn't topped 50 yards in a game all season.

Raiders rookie WR Jack Bech played a season-high 82% of the snaps in Sunday's loss to the Broncos. He also drew a team-high six targets, catching all of them for 50 yards. That set season highs for Bech in each of those categories. TE Brock Bowers followed with a 4-46 receiving line on five targets. WR Tyler Lockett posted a 3-41 on four targets. WR Tre Tucker caught two of five targets for 24 yards.

The Jaguars are trading fourth- and sixth-round picks to the Raiders for WR Jakobi Meyers. The move comes amid multiple WR injury situations that Jacksonville is navigating.

Raiders WR Jakobi Meyers (knee, toe) is inactive for today’s game vs. the Chiefs. That leaves Tre Tucker as Vegas’ No. 1 WR, with rookies Jack Bech and D’Onte Thornton behind him. Tucker is the only bankable fantasy play here.

Raiders rookie WR Jack Bech played easily his largest role to date in Sunday's loss to the Colts. Bech wound up third among Vegas WRs in total snaps (four ahead of Dont'e Thornton) but trailed Thornton 23-19 in routes. Bech drew five targets, posting 3 receptions for 27 yards.

WR Amari Cooper has informed the Raiders that he's retiring, NFL Network reports. The decision comes just a little over a week after Cooper re-joined the team that drafted him back in 2015. It was a quick fall for Cooper, who went for 1,250 yards in 2023 before totaling just 547 yards between stints with the Browns and Bills last year.

Free Agent WR Amari Cooper signed a one-year deal with the Las Vegas Raiders, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network.

Raiders WR Dont'e Thornton regularly ran with the first-team offense this spring. The Athletic's Tashan Reed lists Thornton as a starter in his 53-man roster projection, alongside Jakobi Meyers and Tre Tucker.

The Raiders selected TCU WR Jack Bech with the 58th pick of Round Two in the 2025 NFL Draft. A sturdy athlete at 6’1, 212 pounds, Bech does well making tough catches in traffic. Bech made waves as a freshman at LSU. He tallied 43 catches for 489 yards and 3 TDs, with the first two figures outproducing teammates Malik Nabers and Brian Thomas Jr. Bech’s production dipped the following season, and coaching changes prompted a 2023 move to TCU. After a quiet debut, Bech’s production shot up to 62-1,034-9 as a 2024 senior. Primarily playing outside, he tallied nearly 17.0 yards per catch and a healthy 2.44 yards per route run. He had a 9.50 Relative Athletic Score (RAS) based on his predraft testing. He also ranked 25th among Combine WRs in 2024 Target Share at 19.3%, and ninth among those WRs in PFF Receiving Grade with an 83.1. He is currently 22 years old with a Breakout Age of 21.7. He ranked 11th among WRs in our Draft Sharks predraft Rookie Model scoring a 6.94. Our Comp for him in our Rookie Guide is Allen Robinson. There’s a chance he develops into a real-life WR2.
