Olamide Zaccheaus News
Monday, March 9, 8:49 AM
Free-agent veteran wide receiver Olamide Zaccheaus is signing an undisclosed deal with the Atlanta Falcons on Monday, sources told Tom Pelissero of the NFL Network. Zaccheaus went undrafted out of Virginia before latching on with the Falcons in 2019. The 28-year-old spent the first four years of his NFL career in Atlanta, catching 94 passes for 1,328 yards and eight touchdowns on 151 targets in 55 games (23 starts). Zaccheaus will now return to the Falcons after catching 39 of his 65 targets for 313 yards and two touchdowns in 16 regular-season games (five starts) in 2025 in his lone season with the Chicago Bears. With Darnell Mooney not expected to return, Zaccheaus could have the opportunity to serve as the team's No. 2 wideout behind Drake London, depending on what other additions the team makes at the position in free agency and the draft. At best, though, Zaccheaus will most likely be a low-upside WR4/flex in deeper fantasy football leagues in his return to Atlanta.

Christian Watson News
Thursday, March 5, 7:12 AM
Green Bay Packers Wide Receiver Christian Watson missed the first seven weeks of 2025 with an ACL injury sustained late in 2024, but in his ten games played, he delivered a 17-game pace of 60 catches for 1,039 yards and 10 touchdowns, finishing as a top-5 fantasy wide receiver three times. Four-year veteran Romeo Doubs, who led the team in targets, receptions, and yards in 2025, is now set to test free agency, leaving an opening for Watson to take over as the Packers' unquestioned WR1. Green Bay is expected to have tight end Tucker Kraft back in the fold after pacing the team in receiving before missing the final nine games with an ACL injury of his own, and speedster Matthew Golden is expected to take a leap after finishing his rookie campaign without a regular-season touchdown catch. So while the competition for Doubs' potentially vacated targets could be stiff, Watson's career-high 2.51 yards per route run led the team in 2025, and he will look to thrive in a potentially expanded role in 2026.
