Olamide Zaccheaus Fantasy

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Olamide Zaccheaus caught two of three targets for 58 yards and a touchdown during the team's 25-11 victory over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Filling in for Quez Watkins (hamstring), the former Atlanta Falcon posted his first touchdown as a member of the Eagles on a beautiful 34-yard pass from quarterback Jalen Hurts with only minutes left to go in the second quarter. While it is a nice story, Zaccheaus carries little fantasy value moving forward. Netting just three targets as the clear fourth option, Philadelphia does not typically throw enough to keep four pass catchers fantasy relevant. The 26-year-old can be safely left on the waiver wire during the team's Week 4 matchup against the Washington Commanders.

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Olamide Zaccheaus (shoulder), who had to leave Thursday's preseason game against the Cleveland Browns early with a shoulder injury, is present at Saturday's training camp practice and is in uniform. Before getting injured Thursday night, Zaccheaus caught one of his three targets for a 17-yard gain. The fact that the 26-year-old is at practice just two days after his injury is a good sign that it's not a long-term concerns, so he should be ready to go for Week 1 of the regular season. Zaccheaus had his best season in 2022 with the Atlanta Falcons, but he's probably going to need an injury to Quez Watkins in order to see meaningful snaps in the slot in his first year in Philly behind starters A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith.

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Olamide Zaccheaus (shoulder) was injured in Thursday's preseason contest against the Cleveland Browns and was listed as questionable to return. Before leaving, Zaccheaus caught one of his three targets for a 17-yard gain. It doesn't sound like a serious injury for the 26-year-old, but he could miss some upcoming training camp practices. Quez Watkins is expected to be Philly's No. 3 receiver to open the 2023 season behind A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith, so Zaccheaus won't have much fantasy appeal, even in deeper leagues. Zaccheaus had career-highs in receptions (40), targets (61) and receiving yards (533) in 17 games (13 starts) for the Atlanta Falcons last year and also tied his career-high with three touchdowns.
