Olamide Zaccheaus Fantasy

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Olamide Zaccheaus had a quiet game in Sunday's victory over the Jets. Zaccheaus caught just two passes for 20 yards- as he took a backseat to the other pass-catchers in Atlanta's offense, mainly Kyle Pitts and Cordarrelle Patterson. It was a disappointing effort, as Zaccheaus had an opportunity to produce with both Calvin Ridley (personal) and Russell Gage (ankle) sidelined. He will likely return to the third wideout role after his team's Week 6 bye, as Ridley and Gage should have enough time to return to the lineup.

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Olamide Zaccheaus could see an increase in targets in Week 5 against the Jets. Zaccheaus will step into the role as the team's alpha wideout, with Calvin Ridley (personal) and Russell Gage (ankle) sidelined for the contest. The 24-year-old caught three passes for 32 yards and a score back in Week 3 as the number-two wideout, and he totaled 80-plus yards in two of three games where he saw at least six targets last season. Zaccheaus faces a Jets defense that has surrendered the third-fewest fantasy points per game to receivers, though his projected volume should warrant flex consideration this week.

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Olamide Zaccheaus is only a deep-league flex play, at best, in Week 4 against the Washington Football Team. The 24-year-old has posted 32 and 22 yards in two games thus far this season and his role hasn't escalated in any way despite the lack of solid pass-catchers on Atlanta. Nevertheless, No. 2 receiverRussell Gage is out for Week 4 with an ankle injury and Washington allows the second-most fantasy points to wideouts, so Zaccheaus is certainly worth considering for a deep-league flex play.
