Olamide Zaccheaus News
Sunday, September 13, 8:19 AM
With both quarterbacks Tua Tagovailoa (oblique) and Michael Penix Jr. (knee) ruled out for the Week 1 season opener on Sunday against the Pittsburgh Steelers, Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Olamide Zaccheaus will be the team's emergency third QB behind Cooper Rush and undrafted rookie Jack Strand, according to Adam Schefter of ESPN. And with the Falcons having only two running backs active -- Bijan Robinson and Brian Robinson -- Zaccheaus will also be the team's emergency third-string running back. While this does not move the needle at all in fantasy for Zaccheaus, it speaks to his versatility and athleticism on the football field. The 29-year-old former undrafted free agent from Virginia has never had more than 45 receptions, 533 yards, or three touchdowns in a single season in his seven years in the NFL with the Falcons, Eagles, Commanders, and Bears. Zaccheaus caught 39 passes for 313 yards and two scores in 16 regular-season games in 2025 with the Bears, and he opens up the 2026 season as the Falcons' WR3 behind Drake London and Jahan Dotson.

Elic Ayomanor News
Saturday, October 17, 8:14 AM
Tennessee Titans wide receiver Elic Ayomanor should still have limited volume in a Week 6 matchup with the Indianapolis Colts. The second-year receiver has exclusively been a deep threat so far this season, with his best fantasy game coming in Week 2, when he put up 69 yards on just two catches against the Philadelphia Eagles. He did score an 11-yard touchdown in Week 1 as well, but in the last three weeks he has just three catches and 50 yards. Being in an abysmal offense (last in the league in points per game) drastically limits the upside of a player like Ayomanor. He is also clearly behind Carnell Tate and Wan'Dale Robinson in the receiver pecking order, making Ayomanor difficult to trust in fantasy lineups any time soon. Despite a great Week 6 matchup with the Colts, Ayomanor should remain on waivers or at least on benches in deep leagues.
