Chicago Bears wide receiver Olamide Zaccheaus (illness) is inactive for Sunday Night Football against the San Francisco 49ers in Week 17. He had been listed as questionable after the Bears added him to the injury report on Sunday morning. The late addition created plenty of concern about his status, and in the end, he won't be able to suit up. This is a significant loss for the Bears, who had already ruled out wide receiver Rome Odunze. With Zaccheaus and Odunze sidelined, Caleb Williams should target DJ Moore and Luther Burden III more often. Moore is a strong WR2, while Burden can be deployed as a solid WR3/flex. Meanwhile, Zaccheaus is droppable in most redraft leagues, since he'll likely be the Bears' No. 4 wide receiver upon his return.

Chicago Bears wide receiver Olamide Zaccheaus (illness) has been added to the injury report and is officially questionable to play against the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday Night Football in Week 17. Zaccheaus was not on the injury report earlier this week, so it appears that he picked up the illness sometime over the last 36 hours. The Bears also added DJ Moore (illness) to the injury report, creating plenty of chaos for fantasy managers. There are a lot of moving parts in Chicago with Luther Burden III healthy, Zaccheaus and Moore questionable, and Rome Odunze (foot) ruled out. If Moore is inactive, Zaccheaus should get onto the fantasy radar as a solid WR3/flex option. However, we won't get a clear answer on their statuses until 6:50 p.m. since the Bears and 49ers play on Sunday Night Football. Managers rolling the dice on Moore or Zaccheaus should also have a backup plan from the Bears, 49ers, Rams, or Falcons in case either receiver gets ruled out at the last minute.

Across 15 games this season, Chicago Bears wide receiver Olamide Zaccheaus has hauled in 39 receptions for 313 yards and two touchdowns on 65 targets. While his numbers don't jump off the page, Zaccheaus has moved into a more prominent role in the Chicago offense in recent weeks, thanks to injuries to Bears wideouts Rome Odunze (foot) and Luther Burden III (ankle). With both Odunze and Burden III sidelined in Week 16, Zaccheaus played 86% of his team's offensive snaps and was targeted five times. Odunze is dealing with a stress fracture in his foot that has held him out since Week 13 and may keep him on the shelf through the end of the regular season. Since Odunze went out, Zaccheaus has played at least 79% of Chicago's offensive snaps in every game. While it has not led to big production yet, Zaccheaus may be in line for another game of significant playing time in Week 17 against the San Francisco 49ers. He could be a viable injury replacement for deep-league fantasy managers off the waiver wire.

Chicago Bears wide receiver Olamide Zaccheaus is in line for more targets in Week 16 against the Green Bay Packers. Zaccheaus was held without a catch in Week 15 against the Cleveland Browns despite Rome Odunze (foot) being inactive. Now, both Odunze and rookie Luther Burden III (ankle) have been ruled out for Week 16, which catapults Zaccheaus to the WR2 in this Bears offense. They face the Green Bay Packers this week, who have given up the 13th-most fantasy points to wide receivers this season. While Zacchaeus has only had over 50 receiving yards once this season, he carries low-end FLEX value against the Packers.

Chicago Bears wide receiver Olamide Zaccheaus could be in line for an expanded role on Saturday as the Bears take on the Green Bay Packers in a pivotal NFC North showdown. The Bears have ruled out rookie Luther Burden III and Rome Odunze, leaving DJ Moore operating as the team's WR1 and Zaccheaus as the WR2. Over the past two weeks, Zaccheaus has played 80% of the team's snaps; however, had only earned six targets over those two games. Colston Loveland and Moore will likely be the two top pass-catching options for Caleb Williams in this contest, but Zaccheaus could be a look in deeper 14-team leagues if your team is in a bind for the fantasy football playoffs. Zaccheauss has had some decent fantasy production a few times this year, scoring five or more fantasy points in six of his 14 games played. This will also be the first time all season the Bears are without both Odunze and Burden, opening the door for Zaccheaus in this matchup.

Chicago Bears wide receiver Olamide Zaccheaus (hamstring) upgraded to a full practice on Friday and has been removed from the Week 15 injury report. Zaccheaus will be active on Sunday when the Bears host the Cleveland Browns. The 28-year-old played 79% of the offensive snaps -- his second-highest total of the year -- in last week's loss to the Green Bay Packers and also caught his second touchdown of the season with Rome Odunze (foot) out. However, Zaccheaus only caught two of his three targets for seven yards. There's a chance that Odunze misses another game this weekend (he's questionable) due to a stress fracture in his foot, but Zaccheaus would still be nothing more than a WR5/flex option for fantasy managers in deeper leagues against a decent Browns defense. Zaccheaus hasn't caught more than two passes in a game since Nov. 2. Even without Odunze, Chicago's offense has plenty of weapons for quarterback Caleb Williams.

Chicago Bears wide receiver Olamide Zaccheaus (hamstring) was limited in Thursday's practice for the second straight day this week with a hamstring injury that he picked up in the Week 14 loss to the Green Bay Packers. Zaccheaus' status is worth monitoring this week because of the fact that Rome Odunze (foot) is dealing with a stress fracture in his foot that caused him to miss last week's game. With Odunze out, the 28-year-old Zaccheaus played 79% of the snaps and caught two passes on three targets for seven yards and his second touchdown of the year. Even if Odunze misses another game, Zaccheaus will be more of a touchdown-dependent WR5/flex in deeper fantasy leagues. He has 37 receptions on the year for 280 yards in 13 games. Fantasy managers are better off rolling with rookie receiver Luther Burden III as a flex play if Odunze sits out again this weekend against the Browns.

Chicago Bears wide receiver Olamide Zaccheaus (hamstring) is on the Week 15 injury report and was listed as limited in Wednesday's practice with a hamstring injury, according to The Athletic's Kevin Fishbain. With Rome Odunze out in the Week 14 loss to the Green Bay Packers due to a stress fracture in his foot, Zaccheaus played 79% of the snaps, his second-highest number of snaps played this year. The 28-year-old also found the end zone for only the second time this season, but it came on only two receptions for seven yards on three targets. Zaccheaus should be good to play this weekend against the Cleveland Browns, but even if Odunze misses a second straight game, he'll profile as more of a touchdown-dependent WR5/flex for fantasy managers in deeper leagues. Rookie Luther Burden III is the better upside wideout in Chicago with Odunze not at 100%.

Chicago Bears wide receiver Olamide Zaccheaus had more opportunities in the team's offense in Sunday's loss to the Green Bay Packers with Rome Odunze sidelined by a foot injury. Zaccheaus played a healthy 79% of the offensive snaps, which was his second-highest total of the year, and he found the end zone for just the second time in 2025 in a 28-21 loss. However, despite seeing more snaps, Zaccheaus was targeted a mere three times and caught two passes for seven yards. Rookie Luther Burden III didn't score a touchdown for the Bears, but he was more productive with Odunze inactive, catching four of a team-high six targets for 67 yards at Lambeau Field. Zaccheaus has not had more than two catches in a game since Week 9. The 28-year-old pass-catcher might be worth a look off the waiver wire this week if Odunze misses another game, but fantasy managers should still temper expectations going into Chicago's Week 15 matchup against the Browns. Zaccheaus is rostered in just 1% of Yahoo leagues.

Chicago Bears wide receiver Olamide Zaccheaus enters Week 14 with an uptick in volume expected. Zaccheaus has been phased out of the Bears' offense as of late, totaling just four receptions for 30 yards in his last four games. With the emergence of rookie receiver Luther Burden III, Zaccheaus has played just 27% of the snaps in the past three games. Now, top target Rome Odunze (foot) has been ruled out for Week 14's game against the Green Bay Packers, which should open up targets for Zaccheaus and the other receivers. There are still concerns surrounding Zaccheaus' outlook this week, including the lack of volume from the offense. Caleb Williams currently ranks 23rd in the NFL in completions this season, which makes it very difficult for Zaccheaus to be an option this week, with his limited workload. While the veteran receiver should be a factor in Green Bay this week, he does not offer enough upside to be a starting option.

Across 10 games in 2025, Chicago Bears wide receiver Olamide Zaccheaus has recorded 32 catches for 248 yards and one touchdown on 50 targets. For most of the season to this point, he's played the WR3 role in Chicago alongside wideouts Rome Odunze and DJ Moore. However, Zaccheaus' usage dropped off sharply in the Bears' Week 11 win over the Minnesota Vikings. The 28-year-old recorded zero catches on zero targets and played a season-low 10 offensive snaps. Chicago could be shifting playing time to rookie wideout Luther Burden III, who played 33 offensive snaps against Minnesota. Zaccheaus was not a major factor for fantasy managers before Week 11, but he could now be fading into true fantasy irrelevance. The usage split between Zaccheaus and Burden III is worth monitoring heading into Chicago's Week 12 matchup against the Pittsburgh Steelers.

Chicago Bears wide receiver Olamide Zaccheaus was held in check by the New York Giants in Week 10, recording one catch for five yards on four targets. Still, the 28-year-old continues to play a consistent role in Chicago's offense. Zaccheaus has played at least 57% of the Bears' offensive snaps in six out of the team's last seven games. For the season, he's recorded 32 catches for 248 yards and a touchdown on 50 targets. Between wide receivers Rome Odunze, DJ Moore, and Luther Burden III, there's plenty of target competition for Zaccheaus in Chicago. Still, Zaccheaus has recorded at least six targets in four out of his last six games played. In deep fantasy leagues, he could be worth adding off the waiver wire.

Chicago Bears wide receiver Olamide Zaccheaus is coming off his best game of the season, catching six of eight targets for 58 yards and a touchdown in the 47-42 win over Cincinnati. His expanded role came with Cole Kmet and Luther Burden III sidelined, but both are expected to return in Week 10 against the Giants. With Chicago's receiving corps back to full strength (plus 25 mph winds likely limiting the passing game), Zaccheaus is set to move back into a secondary role. Even with a favorable matchup, he should not be in fantasy lineups this week.

Chicago Bears wide receiver Olamide Zaccheaus is coming off his best performance of the season, posting six receptions for 58 yards and a touchdown in Week 10 against Cincinnati. With rookie Luther Burden III (concussion) sidelined, Zaccheaus logged his second-highest snap share of the year (66%) and delivered as the primary slot option in Ben Johnson's scheme. He's developed solid chemistry with Caleb Williams, and now draws a favorable Week 11 matchup against the Giants, who allow the fourth-most fantasy points to opposing wideouts. If Burden remains out, Zaccheaus carries deep-league FLEX value against a struggling Giants secondary.

Chicago Bears wide receiver Olamide Zaccheaus had his best game of the season in his team's 47-42 Week 9 win over the Cincinnati Bengals, recording six catches for 58 yards and a touchdown on eight targets. The 28-year-old has now hauled in 31 receptions for 243 yards and a score on 46 targets. Most notably, 15 of Zaccheaus' targets have come over the last two weeks. That uptick in production appears to be directly linked to the absence of Luther Burden III (concussion), who suffered a concussion early in Week 8 and was sidelined in Week 9. If Burden III remains sidelined in Week 10 for Chicago's matchup against the New York Giants, Zaccheaus could once again play a key role in his team's offense. Zaccheaus should be a waiver-wire target for fantasy managers in PPR-scoring leagues with 12 or more teams.

Chicago Bears wide receiver Olamide Zaccheaus will jump to third on the depth chart after Luther Burden III (concussion) was ruled out for Week 9 against the Cincinnati Bengals. Zaccheaus should operate behind Rome Odunze and DJ Moore. As the No. 3 receiver in Chicago, Zaccheaus doesn't exactly have a significant amount of fantasy appeal. Nevertheless, we could have said the same last week, and he ultimately broke out for 33 yards on seven catches. The 28-year-old is a solid veteran presence in the passing game, and the Bengals have allowed the 13th-most receiving yards to opposing receivers in 2025. Managers might be able to find better alternatives on the waiver wire, but if not, Zaccheaus can be a low-end WR3/flex in deep leagues. His ceiling is modest, but his floor is low.

Chicago Bears wide receiver Olamide Zaccheaus (knee) is considered day-to-day after he was injured in the team's Week 8 loss to the Baltimore Ravens, according to Scott Bair of Marquee Sports Network. Chicago's receiving corps is a bit banged up coming out of Sunday's game, as rookie wideout Luther Burden III (head) is also in the league's concussion protocol. Before getting hurt against Baltimore, Zaccheaus caught a season-high seven passes for 33 yards and also carried the ball once for four yards. It's unclear if the 28-year-old pass-catcher will be able to play in Week 9 against the Cincinnati Bengals this weekend, but if he is active, he could be a sleeper option for fantasy managers as a flex play in deeper leagues if Burden isn't cleared from the concussion protocol. Zaccheaus is still looking for his first touchdown of the year and has 25 receptions for 185 yards on 38 targets through seven games.
