Commanders' Olamide Zaccheaus: Three catches in Week 2
Olamide Zaccheaus secured all three of his targets for 14 yards in Sunday's 21-18 win over the Giants.Operating as the Washington Commanders' fourth receiver, Zaccheaus played 24 of 72 offensive snaps Sunday. The veteran wideout saw three targets for the second-straight week as rookie quarterback Jayden Daniels finds his footing within Washington's passing attack. Zaccheaus' minimal production and spot on the depth chart, however, make him a difficult to trust for fantasy purposes going forward, barring injuries to Terry McLaurin, Luke McCaffrey or Dyami Brown. The Commanders square off against the Bengals in Week 3.

Commanders' Olamide Zaccheaus: Splits snaps with Dyami Brown
Olamide Zaccheaus caught one of three targets for 15 yards in Sunday's 37-20 loss at Tampa Bay, playing 44.6 percent of snaps on offense.Zacccheaus and Dyami Brown shared snaps at one receiver spot while Terry McLaurin mostly played out wide on the left side of the offense and Luke McCaffrey worked the slot. Zaccheaus ended up running 13 routes, which was one more than Brown, who finished without a target. Fantasy value, even in deep leagues, likely will require one of the two to pull away from the other and become a true starter rather than a snap sharer. It remains to be seen if that will happen Week 2 against the Giants or Week 3 against the Bengals.

Commanders' Olamide Zaccheaus: Held out of preseason finale
Olamide Zaccheaus didn't play in Sunday's 20-10 preseason win over New England.Zaccheaus, Terry McLaurin, Dyami Brown, Luke McCaffrey and Jamison Crowder all were held out of the game with no injury reported, suggesting they're in good position for spots on the initial 53-man roster. The question is how snaps will be divided after McLaurin, with the No. 2 and 3 roles seemingly up for grabs after Jahan Dotson was traded to Philadelphia last week. Zaccheaus and Brown split perimeter snaps with the first-team offense during the first two preseason games while Dotson mostly manned the slot.

Commanders' Olamide Zaccheaus: Held to nine yards
Olamide Zaccheaus caught two of four targets for nine yards in a 13-6 preseason loss to the Dolphins on Saturday.Zaccheaus got some playing time with the first-team offense, but he wasn't a starter and saw just one of his four targets from QB Jayden Daniels. Meanwhile, Dyami Brown caught three passes for 19 yards on the opening drive, and Jahan Dotson took most of the slot snaps with the starters. Dotson, Brown, Zaccheaus and Luke McCaffrey are competing for playing time behind locked-in No. 1 receiver Terry McLaurin, with Washington Commanders coach Dan Quinn having recently hinted that the No. 2 and 3 roles are up for grabs. Dotson appears likely to take one of the spots, and it's possible the other starts off as a rotation between Brown and Zaccheaus.

Commanders' Olamide Zaccheaus: Competing for starting job
Coach Dan Quinn suggested Thursday that Olamide Zaccheaus is competing for the Washington Commanders' No. 2 receiver role, Nicki Jhabvala of The Washington Post reports.2022 first-round pick Jahan Dotson entered camp as a clear favorite for the role, but there have been some signs he's not exactly a lock, including his extended playing time in the preseason opener against New York. Quinn is now confirming there's a competition, with Zaccheaus and Dyami Brown presumably the main candidates to displace Dotson (and rookie third-round pick Luke McCaffrey possibly also in the mix for a top-three role). Zaccheaus only get a few snaps with the first-team offense in the preseason opener, but one of those was a 42-yard catch on the third play of the game.

Commanders' Olamide Zaccheaus: Looking good for roster spot
Olamide Zaccheaus is "seemingly battling for rotation reps more than a roster spot," according to The Athletic's Ben Standig.The depth chart at WR looks wide open behind returning starters Terry McLaurin and Jahan Dotson, with other leading candidates for the third and fourth spots being rookie third-round pick Luke McCaffrey and fourth-year pro Dyami Brown. While he's never been targeted at a high rate, Zaccheaus had a nice season for Atlanta in 2022, catching 40 of 61 targets for 533 yards and three TDs. He then had minimal impact in Philadelphia last season, catching 10 passes in 17 games while being targeted on a league-low 7.1 percent of his routes.

Commanders' Olamide Zaccheaus: Moving on to Washington
Olamide Zaccheaus has agreed to a deal with the Washington Commanders, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.In his only campaign with the Eagles, Zaccheaus (who caught 40 passes with the Falcons in 2022) finished the 2023 regular season with 10 catches for 164 yards and two TDs in 17 games. With the Commanders, the 26-year-old will add depth to a wideout corps that is currently led by Terry McLaurin and Jahan Dotson. In that context, Zaccheaus has some bounce-back potential if he can carve out steady snaps in 2024 behind the team's top duo.

Eagles' Olamide Zaccheaus: Targets drop with new team
Olamide Zaccheaus finished the year with 10 catches for 164 yards and a pair of touchdowns in 17 regular-season games.Zaccheaus was targeted 53 and 61 times in his final two seasons in Atlanta, but that number dropped all the way to 20 after his move to Philadelphia. He went without a target in six games and without a catch nine times. He'll be a free agent this offseason but didn't set himself up well for a substantial payday.

Eagles' Olamide Zaccheaus: No targets in Week 13
Zacchaeus didn't log any targets in Sunday's 42-19 loss to the 49ers.Olamide Zaccheaus now has seven catches and 14 targets in 12 games played this season after going untargeted for the first time since Week 2. A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith combined for 24 targets, leaving little for the rest of the receiving corps, even in a game in which the Philadelphia Eagles threw 48 times.

Eagles' Olamide Zaccheaus: Hauls in 29-yard touchdown
Olamide Zaccheaus hauled in his lone target in Sunday's 37-34 overtime win over the Bills for a 29-yard touchdown.On third-and-15 with the Philadelphia Eagles losing, 24-21, in the fourth quarter, Jalen Hurts scrambled to his left and found Zacchaeus in the back corner of the end zone, and the wide receiver hauled in the pass above two Buffalo defenders to give his team the lead. It was an impressive highlight, but given that Zaccheaus has fewer catches (seven) than games played (11) this season, his fantasy relevance remains minimal.
