Who Should I Start? Olamide Zaccheaus or Elic Ayomanor

Wednesday, December 10, 6:39 PM

Chicago Bears wide receiver Olamide Zaccheaus (hamstring) is on the Week 15 injury report and was listed as limited in Wednesday's practice with a hamstring injury, according to The Athletic's Kevin Fishbain. With Rome Odunze out in the Week 14 loss to the Green Bay Packers due to a stress fracture in his foot, Zaccheaus played 79% of the snaps, his second-highest number of snaps played this year. The 28-year-old also found the end zone for only the second time this season, but it came on only two receptions for seven yards on three targets. Zaccheaus should be good to play this weekend against the Cleveland Browns, but even if Odunze misses a second straight game, he'll profile as more of a touchdown-dependent WR5/flex for fantasy managers in deeper leagues. Rookie Luther Burden III is the better upside wideout in Chicago with Odunze not at 100%.

Tennessee Titans rookie wide receiver Elic Ayomanor caught his first touchdown since Week 3 during Sunday's win over the Cleveland Browns. Ayomanor finished with just the one catch for 14 yards on three targets, but it was good to see him find the end zone again after an eight-game drought. The rookie fourth-rounder has held down a full-time role for the Titans this season, playing 81.5% of the snaps in 11 games. He's had a decent season, considering how poor the Titans' offense has been, totaling 30 receptions for 353 yards and three touchdowns on 67 targets. He missed the Week 12 game due to a hamstring injury and has faded in Tennessee's passing attack since the Week 10 bye, recording four receptions for 30 yards and a touchdown on 12 targets. While his target share gives him a decent floor, Ayomanor still profiles as a flex option in deep leagues in Week 15 against the San Francisco 49ers.
