• Commanders' Olamide Zaccheaus: Cleared to face Big Blue

  22H ago • By RotoWire

  Zaccheaus (hamstring) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Giants, Ralph Vacchiano of Fox Sports reports. Zaccheaus was a full participant Friday after logging limited practices the previous two days. He'll fill his usual role within a rotation-heavy Washington WR group in which Terry McLaurin is the only sure thing for a full-time role and steady targets each week.

• Commanders' Olamide Zaccheaus: Reps capped in Thursday's practice

  2D ago • By RotoWire

  Zaccheaus (hamstring) was a limited practice participant Thursday. Zaccheaus' practice reps were capped for the second day in a row, and he'll likely need to advance to full participation Friday to avoid taking a designation into Sunday's game against the Giants. If available for the Week 9 contest, Zaccheaus will likely represent a secondary option in the Washington passing game behind wideouts Terry McLaurin and Noah Brown and tight end Zach Ertz. Zaccheaus has yet to find the end zone in eight appearances this season and has been held under 30 receiving yards in all but one of those outings.

• Commanders' Olamide Zaccheaus: Dealing with hamstring injury

  3D ago • By RotoWire

  Zaccheaus (hamstring) was a limited practice participant Wednesday due to a hamstring injury. Zaccheaus is making his first appearance of the season on the injury report after having played between 25 and 51 percent of the offensive snaps in all but one of the Commanders' first eight games. He ran 18 routes in this past Sunday's 18-15 win over the Bears without drawing single target, following consecutive games with exactly six targets and four catches. An absence for Sunday's game at the Giants would leave more snaps and routes available for some combination of Noah Brown, Luke McCaffrey and Dyami Brown.

• Commanders' Olamide Zaccheaus: No targets on 18 routes

  5D ago • By RotoWire

  Zaccheaus finished without an official target despite running 18 routes in Sunday's 18-15 win over the Bears. His route share (45.0 percent) and snap share (35.0 percent) weren't far off from season-long norms, but Zaccheaus uncharacteristically finished without a target that counted. He did have a touchdown catch that was called back due to a penalty. His target rate for the season is still at a lofty 26.0 percent, just without the consistent playing time for it to really matter outside of the deepest fantasy leagues. Zaccheaus is unlikely to put up a big stat line Week 9 at the Giants.

• Commanders' Olamide Zaccheaus: Targeted six times

  19D ago • By RotoWire

  Zaccheaus caught four of six targets for 27 yards in a 30-23 loss at Baltimore on Sunday. Zaccheaus split slot work with Luke McCaffrey, handling 38 percent snap share and 42 route share. There's not much likelihood of significant workload growth with Terry McLaurin locked in as the No. 1 receiver and Noah Brown playing well as the No. 2, but Zaccheaus has been shockingly busy when he does get on the field, drawing targets on a team-high 31.0 percent of routes (albeit with a lot of those being screen passes). In any case, there's always risk of the volume not being there when the snap counts are so low, and Zaccheaus had just one catch for 10 yards in the previous game, Week 5 against Cleveland. Expectations should remain modest for Week 7, even in a favorable matchup against the 1-5 Panthers.
