Falcons' Olamide Zaccheaus: Two catches in Thursday's win
Zaccheaus brought in both of his targets for nine yards and returned one punt for four yards during the Falcons' 35-14 win over the Packers on Thursday.
Both of Zaccheaus catches occurred in the second quarter on the same drive, which ended with a 44-yard field goal by Nick Folk. Zaccheaus is up to four catches (on six targets) for 17 yards through three regular-season games while operating as a depth option in the passing game, though Thursday's win may have been the start for a more explosive offense for the Falcons with Michael Penix under center, rather than Tua Tagovailoa, Cooper Rush (coach's decision) or Jack Strand (coach's decision). The Falcons will travel to New Orleans to face the Saints on Monday, Oct. 5.

Falcons' Olamide Zaccheaus: Catches sole target in loss
Zaccheaus caught his sole target for five yards and returned one kickoff for 29 yards in the Falcons' 20-13 loss to the Steelers on Sunday.

Falcons' Olamide Zaccheaus: Jack-of-all-trades for Week 1
Zaccheaus will serve as the Falcons' WR3, the backup returner on punts and kickoffs, and the emergency third option at both quarterback and running back for Sunday's regular-season opener against the Steelers, Marc Raimondi of ESPN.com reports.
The Falcons have two quarterbacks (Cooper Rush and Jack Strand) and two running backs (Bijan Robinson and Brian Robinson) on the game-day roster for Sunday's regular-season opener. Most of Zaccheaus' playing time figures to come on three-wideout sets as he works behind Drake London and Jahan Dotson, with rookie third-rounder Zachariah Branch also in the mix for offensive snaps.

Falcons' Olamide Zaccheaus: Open competition for WR2
Zaccheaus enters training camp in a battle against Jahan Dotson and rookie third-rounder Zachariah Branch for the Falcons' No. 2 wide receiver job behind Drake London (undisclosed), Tim Weaver of USA Today reports.
After stints in Philadelphia, Washington and Chicago, Zaccheaus opted to sign a one-year contract in March to rejoin the Falcons, with whom he previously played from 2019-22. The Virginia product has eclipsed 500 receiving yards just once in his NFL career, but given Atlanta's lack of reliable pass catchers behind London and tight end Kyle Pitts, Zaccheaus could establish himself as a consistent target for whoever is under center between Tua Tagovailoa and Michael Penix (knee). Dotson brings four years of NFL experience to the table and little more production than Zaccheaus, but the journeyman's biggest competition figures to come from the rookie Branch, who made a strong impression on coaches with his speed, explosiveness and playmaking ability during college and in OTAs.

Falcons' Olamide Zaccheaus: Returning to Atlanta
Zaccheaus is in line to sign with the Falcons, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.
Zaccheaus previously played for Atlanta from 2019 to 2022, under Dan Quinn and Arthur Smith. The team now is led by Kevin Stefanski, who is badly in need of depth to support RB Bijan Robinson, WR Drake London and TE Kyle Pitts at the skill positions. Zaccheaus fits best as a No. 3/4 receiver, but he might get a crack at the No. 2 role if the Falcons don't bring in a bigger name. They're expected to release WR Darnell Mooney on Wednesday when the 2026 league year begins.

Bears' Olamide Zaccheaus: Minimal involvement late
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.
