Who Should I Start? Andy Isabella or Olamide Zaccheaus

Thursday, July 31, 6:25 PM

Free agent wide receiver Andy Isabella inked a deal with the San Francisco 49ers on Thursday. The 49ers will technically be Isabella's fifth team in the NFL after bouncing around practice squads for the past few years. Isabella will add extra depth with injuries seemingly popping up left and right in the 49ers' wide receiver room. The former 62nd overall pick of the 2019 draft has put up career stats of 33 receptions for 447 yards and three touchdowns. After compiling the majority of these statistics during his first two years in the league with the Arizona Cardinals, Isabella will look to revamp his career in San Francisco.

Chicago Bears wide receiver Olamide Zaccheaus made an immediate impact in his debut under head coach Ben Johnson. He caught four of seven targets for 42 yards in the Week 1 loss to Minnesota, operating as Chicago's clear WR3. Zaccheaus played 44% of the snaps and ran a route on 59% of dropbacks, both behind only Rome Odunze and D.J. Moore. Notably, he was on the field for 87% of the snaps in one-tight end sets, cementing his defined role in the offense. Week 2 brings an appealing matchup with the Lions, who allowed the most receiving yards to wideouts in 2024. Former Bear receiver Keenan Allen shredded Detroit twice last season, averaging 23.2 half-PPR points per game against them. While Zaccheaus has a chance to stay involved, his role still caps his upside. He's a deep-league flex consideration but should remain out of lineups in most fantasy formats.
