Who Should I Start? JuJu Smith-Schuster or Olamide Zaccheaus

Saturday, November 8, 10:29 AM

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster has fallen off the fantasy radar after three lower-volume outings. The veteran receiver saw his snap share fall from 63 percent to 36 percent when Rashee Rice returned from suspension in Week 7, and he's been held to fewer than one-third of the snaps ever since then. During that three-week span, he had six total catches, bottoming out last week with just one target, one catch, and two receiving yards. The 28-year-old now finds himself behind Rice, Travis Kelce, Xavier Worthy, and Marquise Brown in the pecking order. As long as those pass catchers stay healthy, Smith-Schuster will remain off the fantasy radar on the other side of the Chiefs' Week 10 bye.

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.
