Olamide Zaccheaus

Zaccheaus left Chicago in free agency and signed a 2-year, $4.5M deal with Atlanta (March 2026), where he projects as WR4/5 behind Drake London and Jahan Dotson. His slot role was fully taken over by rookie Luther Burden in 2025, and he was essentially phased out by season's end.

His final Bears appearances showed catastrophic snap (20-27%) and target share (4-5%) declines, finishing 2025 with just 39 catches, 313 yards, and 2 TDs — a clear signal the organization had moved on before he departed.

Atlanta spent a 2026 R3 pick on Zachariah Branch, a slot/return weapon who directly overlaps Zaccheaus's role; the rookie has multi-year upside and crowds out an aging depth piece.

At 28 with no established role, Zaccheaus is entering the back half of his NFL career. WRs without a featured role at this age rarely recover dynasty relevance, and his two-year contract in Atlanta offers no guaranteed playing time.

His 2-year, $4.5M Falcons deal is a low-investment signing easily voided heading into Year 2. If he fails to carve a reliable role in 2026, a pre-camp release in spring 2027 is a realistic outcome.

Atlanta's QB picture (Michael Penix Jr. plus a Tua Tagovailoa report) is unsettled, and target distribution funnels to London, Bijan Robinson, and Kyle Pitts before the WR3/4 slot.

If Drake London or Jahan Dotson misses significant time in Atlanta, Zaccheaus could see a temporary target spike. Even in that scenario, his ceiling is a low-end WR3 week, not a dynasty asset.

Zaccheaus returns to the franchise where he posted his career-best season (40/533/3 in 2022) and already knows the system under Kevin Stefanski. Familiarity may help him beat out younger depth options for the WR3 role.
