Olamide Zaccheaus is a Fantasy Dart-Throw in Daunting Matchup

Saturday, November 14, 6:27 AM

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Olamide Zaccheaus drew three targets in Week 9, but was able to produce just one catch for five yards. With teammate Zachariah Branch (hamstring) set to miss another game with an injury, Zaccheaus could be in line for an extra target or two again this week. While his performance so far this season doesn't move the needle for fantasy (6-16-0), it's worth noting that he did garner a red zone target in Week 9, the second straight week in which he tallied one in the red zone. For those season-long or DFS managers desperately looking for a lottery ticket in Week 10, the 5-foot-8 wideout could fit the bill. A matchup with Kansas City is tough on paper, with the Chiefs defense holding opposing wide receivers to the second-fewest fantasy points per game in 2026 (half-point PPR), allowing just two touchdown receptions to WRs through eight games, which is the fewest in the entire league. But that could spell bad news for Drake London and Jahan Dotson, potentially opening things up for Zaccheaus to make an impact. Using him this week isn't for the faint of heart, though, as the 29-year-old ranks as the No. 89 receiver overall at RotoBaller for Week 10.

Brenen Thompson A Waiver Wire Flier in Deep Leagues

Tuesday, September 15, 9:25 AM

Los Angeles Chargers rookie wide receiver Brenen Thompson saw only 10 snaps and was held off the stat sheet in his first career game, but with Ladd McConkey (rib) day-to-day with a rib injury, he is a player to at least consider on waivers in deeper leagues. As an undersized field-stretcher, Thompson is unlikely to command an every-down role even if McConkey is unable to suit up against the Raiders. Still, his big-play potential could be leaned on, and he has the opportunity to work his way into three-receiver sets alongside Quentin Johnston and Tre' Harris. At RotoBaller's WR103, Thompson is not a player that needs to be actively targeted on waivers, but he is deserving of flier consideration in leagues with big-play bonuses.
