Bears' Olamide Zaccheaus: Extensive playing time in victory
Olamide Zaccheaus caught two of five targets for 33 yards in the Chicago Bears' 22-16 overtime win over the Packers on Saturday.Zaccheaus played 86 percent of the snaps with Rome Odunze (foot) and Luther Burden (ankle) sidelined, and he placed second on the team behind DJ Moore in targets. He had seven or fewer receiving yards in five of his previous six contests, but if teammates remain out with injuries, Zaccheaus could be productive down the stretch.

Bears' Olamide Zaccheaus: Expanded role on tap
Olamide 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 Chicago 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
Olamide Zaccheaus did not catch any of three targets in the Chicago 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
Olamide 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
Olamide 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 Chicago Bears' offensive snaps against Green Bay.

Bears' Olamide Zaccheaus: Boosts quiet day with TD
Olamide 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
Olamide 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 Chicago 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: Continues limited role
Olamide Zaccheaus caught two of three targets for 19 yards in the Chicago Bears' 24-15 win over the Eagles on Friday.After posting at least 30 yards in each of the Bears' first nine games, Zaccheaus was passed on the depth chart by Luther Burden in Week 11. Over those last three games, Zaccheaus is averaging 19 offensive snaps, one reception and 8.3 yards. Unless the veteran sees an increase in opportunity, his fantasy value will remain limited.
