Bears' Olamide Zaccheaus: Minimal involvement late
Rotowire
Zaccheaus was not targeted in the Bears' 19-16 loss to the Lions on Sunday.
Zaccheaus played only six snaps and closed the season with 39 receptions (on 65 targets) for 313 yards and two touchdowns. He opened the year as the primary slot receiver but failed to record more than two catches in any of his final seven games as Luther Burden's role increased. Zaccheaus is set to hit free agency and profiles as a depth receiver entering 2026.

Bears' Olamide Zaccheaus: Unavailable vs. 49ers
Rotowire
Zaccheaus (illness) is inactive for Sunday night's contest against San Francisco.
Zaccheaus was a late addition to Chicago's injury report due to an illness, and despite initially being initially listed as questionable to face the 49ers, he'll join Rome Odunze (foot) on the sideline for Week 17. DJ Moore (illness) is active for Sunday Night Football, meanwhile, despite having been added to the injury report in a similar fashion to Zaccheaus. Behind Moore and Luther Burden, expect Devin Duvernay, Jahdae Walker and JP Richardson to see increased offensive reps at the wide receiver position Sunday.

Bears' Olamide Zaccheaus: Questionable for Sunday night
Rotowire
Zaccheaus is now listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the 49ers due to an illness.
Along with Zaccheaus, the Bears also added fellow wideout DJ Moore to their injury report and list him as questionable for the Week 17 contest. Clarity on the statuses of both wideouts will be available when Chicago posts its inactive list 90 minutes ahead of Sunday's 8:20 p.m. ET kickoff. With Rome Odunze (foot) already ruled out for Week 17, Luther Burden, Devin Duvernay, Jahdae Walker and JP Richardson would be the Bears' other options at receivers if both Moore and Zaccheaus end up sitting out.

Bears' Olamide Zaccheaus: Expanded role on tap
Rotowire
Zaccheaus is in line to join DJ Moore as one of Chicago's clear top two wide receivers during Saturday's game against the Packers, with Rome Odunze (foot) and Luther Burden (ankle) both ruled out, Thomas Carelli of SI reports.
Zaccheaus played 82 percent of offensive snaps during Chicago's blowout win over the Browns in Week 15, a contest that saw Odunze ruled out as a late scratch and Burden leave mid-game due to injury. While Zaccheaus couldn't translate his opportunities versus Cleveland into production, failing to haul in any of his three targets, that can be partially attributed to the dominant nature of the Bears' 31-3 victory. In what figures to be a competitive divisional matchup against Green Bay, Zaccheaus should offer a modest fantasy floor, especially in PPR formats.

Bears' Olamide Zaccheaus: Inconsistent role continues
Rotowire
Zaccheaus did not catch any of three targets in the Bears' 31-3 win over the Browns on Sunday.
Zaccheaus has been held to seven or fewer yards in five of his last six contests while seeing reduced involvement in the offense. While his role has diminished of late, both Rome Odunze (foot) and Luther Burden (ankle) are currently dealing with injuries, which could allow Zaccheaus to see more usage in Week 16 against the Packers.

Bears' Olamide Zaccheaus: Ready to face Cleveland
Rotowire
Zaccheaus (hamstring) does not carry an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Browns.
Zaccheaus was limited in practice Wednesday and Thursday but upgraded to full activity Friday. Meanwhile, Rome Odunze (foot) officially is listed as questionable after having logged a trio of limited practice sessions. If Odunze is unable to play Sunday, Zaccheaus should benefit from an uptick in opportunities on offense.

Bears' Olamide Zaccheaus: Limited in Thursday's session
Rotowire
Zaccheaus (hamstring) was a limited practice participant Thursday.
Joining Zaccheaus as a limited practice participant was Rome Odunze (foot), who could be in line to return to action this Sunday against the Browns after sitting out a Week 14 loss to the Packers. Odunze's potential return would likely leave fewer reps to go around for Zaccheaus and rookie wideout Luther Burden, both of whom played north of 70 percent of the Bears' offensive snaps against Green Bay.

Bears' Olamide Zaccheaus: Dealing with hamstring injury
Rotowire
Zaccheaus was a limited practice participant Wednesday due to a hamstring injury, Sean Hammond of the Chicago Tribune reports.
Recently demoted to the No. 4 WR role, Zaccheaus filled in for Rome Odunze (heel) during Sunday's 28-21 loss at Green Bay, catching two of three targets for seven yards and a TD while handling a 78 percent offensive snap share and 83 percent route share. Odunze was also a limited practice participant Wednesday, putting Chicago's WR corps in flux ahead of Sunday's home game against the Browns.

Bears' Olamide Zaccheaus: Boosts quiet day with TD
Rotowire
Zaccheaus caught two of three targets for seven yards and a touchdown in Sunday's Week 14 loss to Green Bay.
Heading into Sunday, it appeared Zaccheaus might play a larger role with Rome Odunze (foot) sidelined, but it was instead Luther Burden who bumped his production with a 4-67-0 line on a team-high six targets. Zaccheaus did deliver a touchdown grab from one yard out in the third quarter, however. The veteran slot receiver hasn't had more than two catches in a game since Week 9, so he'll remain a very risky fantasy play in Week 15 against Cleveland, especially if Odunze is able to return to action.

Bears' Olamide Zaccheaus: Could have bigger role Week 14
Rotowire
Zaccheaus may be in line for more targets Sunday versus Green Bay with Rome Odunze (foot) ruled out, Courtney Cronin of ESPN.com reports.
Zaccheaus began the season promisingly with four catches for 42 yards against Minnesota in Week 1, but he's surpassed that yardage total just once since. Over his past four games, he's been almost entirely a non-factor with just four total catches (on eight targets) for 30 yards. However, Odunze's absence should open up more opportunities for multiple Bears pass catchers, including wideouts Zaccheaus, Luther Burden and DJ Moore as well as tight ends Colston Loveland and Cole Kmet. With that being said, the Packers rank in the top half league-wide in most categories versus wide receivers, so Chicago's struggling passing game could be challenged to produce.

Bears' Olamide Zaccheaus: Plays just 10 offensive snaps
Rotowire
Zaccheaus wasn't targeted in the Bears' win over the Vikings on Sunday.
Zaccheaus played a season-low 10 offensive snaps against Minnesota, as rookie Luther Burden matched his season high with 33 snaps. It appears as if Burden has finally passed Zaccheaus on the depth chart for WR3 duties in Chicago alongside Rome Odunze and DJ Moore. Zaccheaus carries very minimal fantasy value while those three are healthy.

Bears' Olamide Zaccheaus: Finds end zone on eight targets
Rotowire
Zaccheaus caught six passes for 58 yards and one touchdown on eight targets in the Bears' 47-42 win over the Bengals on Sunday.
Zaccheaus scored his first touchdown of the season and led Chicago with eight targets in this game. He profiles as a top-60 receiver while drawing four-plus looks in all but one game this season, but the receiver has just one game with more than 42 yards.

Bears' Olamide Zaccheaus: Cleared to play
Rotowire
Zaccheaus (knee) doesn't carry an injury designation into Sunday's game against the Bengals, Courtney Cronin of ESPN.com reports.
With Luther Burden (concussion) out, Zaccheaus should see the bulk of the WR3 snaps behind Rome Odunze and DJ Moore. The matchup is good, but Zaccheaus hasn't seen enough target volume to warrant fantasy lineup consideration outside of daily fantasy contests.

Bears' Olamide Zaccheaus: High-volume role
Rotowire
Zaccheaus caught seven of seven targets for 33 yards and rushed once for four yards in the Bears' 30-16 loss to the Ravens on Sunday.
Zaccheaus has at least six targets in three of the last four games, but the receiver has only one game with more than 25 yards in his last five. Zaccheaus remains a low-ceiling PPR flex when volume cooperates.

Bears' Olamide Zaccheaus: Six targets in win
Rotowire
Zaccheaus caught two of six targets for 24 yards and rushed once for four yards in the Bears' 25-24 win over the Commanders on Monday.
Zaccheaus has drawn at least four targets in every game and has two games with at least 40 receiving yards this season. Though he continues to play ahead of rookie Luther Burden as the Bears' No. 3 receiver, Zaccheaus' fantasy utility remains mostly limited to deeper leagues.

Bears' Olamide Zaccheaus: Posts 36 scrimmage yards in win
Rotowire
Zaccheaus caught three of four targets for 24 yards and added 12 rushing yards on his only carry in the Bears' 31-14 win over the Cowboys on Sunday.
In Week 1, Zaccheaus posted 42 receiving yards, but he has just 36 yards over the last two games. Still, the veteran has at least four targets in each contest, and as long as he retains the No. 3 receiver role, he could continue to post limited yardage most weeks.

Commanders' Olamide Zaccheaus: Limited in practice Wednesday
Rotowire
Zaccheaus was a limited participant in practice Wednesday due to a hip injury.
Zaccheaus briefly exited last Saturday's 45-31 divisional-round win over Detroit due to what was listed as a hip injury, but he ultimately returned to the contest and finished with zero catches on two targets. Though he was limited to begin this week, Zaccheaus will have two more chances to upgrade to full practice participation before the Commanders potentially give him a designation for Sunday's NFC Championship Game against the Eagles.

Commanders' Olamide Zaccheaus: Catches three passes for 19 yards
Rotowire
Zaccheaus caught each of his three targets for 19 yards in a 23-20 win at Tampa Bay on Sunday.
Zaccheaus finished second among Washington's wide receivers in snap share (68 percent), slightly ahead of Dyami Brown, who took 58 percent of snaps and caught each of his five targets for 89 yards and a touchdown. Zaccheaus out-produced Brown in each of the final three games of the regular season, catching 15 of 22 targets for 206 yards and three touchdowns during that stretch, so both figure to be involved in the offense during Washington's next playoff game Saturday at Detroit.

Commanders' Olamide Zaccheaus: Two grabs in season finale
Rotowire
Zaccheaus caught two of five targets for 51 yards in Sundays 23-19 win over the Cowboys.
Zaccheaus cooled off quite a bit in Week 18 after a string of strong performances, and the wideout's two catches were his lowest reception total since Week 12. The 27-year-old became an important part of the Commanders' passing attack after Noah Brown (torso/kidney) was injured in Week 13, finishing the year with 45 receptions for 506 yards and three touchdowns on 64 targets. Zaccheaus is set to become an unrestricted free agent this offseason after only one season with Washington, and a good playoff run should increase his marketability, beginning in the wild-card round when the Commanders visit the Buccaneers.

Commanders' Olamide Zaccheaus: Week 18 Waiver Priority List
Rotowire
I liked Zaccheus going into Week 17 against Atlanta following his breakout performance in Week 16 against Philadelphia when he scored 24 PPR points, and he delivered with 23.3 PPR points against the Falcons. In his past two games, Zaccheus has become a go-to option for Jayden Daniels with 13 catches for 155 yards and three touchdowns on 17 targets, and he should stay hot against the Cowboys in Week 18. As long as the Commanders are playing their starters, then consider Zaccheus a No. 3 Fantasy receiver in all leagues.
