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.

Cyrus Allen Could Earn More Targets In Week 9

Friday, November 6, 11:11 AM

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Cyrus Allen caught two of his three targets for 20 yards in last week's loss to the Denver Broncos. Despite the loss, the rookie receiver finished the game fourth on the team in yards. Allen also played his most snaps of the season in Week 8, indicating that the coaching staff is gaining more trust in the young wideout. Given the team's struggles to produce from the wide receiver position, Allen could be the man to step into the WR2 role behind Rashee Rice. It also helps that Allen and Rice win in different areas of the field so the duo could easily coexist. Allen will look to continue his upward trend this Sunday against the New York Jets. The Jets' defense has been middle-of-the-pack against wide receivers this year, making this matchup one that Allen could succeed against. Allen is ranked WR103 in our RotoBaller Week 9 PPR rankings, making him a desperation flex option this weekend. The rookie wideout is an interesting player who could be relevant down the stretch, but fantasy managers may benefit from taking a wait-and-see approach with Allen instead of viewing him as a plug-and-play option.
