Olamide Zaccheaus News
The Atlanta Falcons are expected to re-sign impending unrestricted free-agent wide receivers Olamide Zaccheaus and KhaDarel Hodge this offseason. Zaccheaus was second on the team with 40 catches for 533 yards in 2022. "Just an extremely unselfish guy and the kind of guy you want in your program," wide receivers coach T.J. Yates said. Hodge had just 13 receptions for 202 yards but led the team with nine special teams tackles. Both wideouts entered the league as undrafted free agents and can probably be brought back on affordable deals. Zaccheaus struggled with rookie quarterback Desmond Ridder under center over the final four games, catching just eight passes on 17 targets for 55 yards. Neither Zaccheaus nor Hodge will open the 2023 season on the fantasy radar.
Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Olamide Zaccheaus scored a three-yard touchdown in the team's 30-17 Week 18 win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The veteran receiver caught four of his seven targets for 37 yards against the NFC South champions. He ended the game with 11.7 half-point PPR fantasy points, his best performance of the year. Furthermore, Zaccheaus ends the 2022 season second on the team with 40 receptions, a career-high. The veteran is a free agent this offseason. Atlanta might look to upgrade and give Desmond Ridder a more consistent No. 2 wide receiver opposite of Drake London. Regardless of where he plays next season, Zaccheaus has limited fantasy upside.
Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Olamide Zaccheaus has been irrelevant for fantasy players this season. The veteran receiver is the WR75 for the year, averaging 4.9 half-point PPR fantasy points per game. Furthermore, he has scored fewer than six fantasy points in 68.8% of the games this season, including nine of the past 10 contests. Moreover, Zaccheaus has scored zero fantasy points in two of the three games Desmond Ridder has started this year. This week, he faces the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. They have held the veteran receiver to only two receptions for 39 receiving yards in the Week 5 matchup between these two teams earlier this season. Zaccheaus belongs on the waiver wire.
