Who Should I Start? Olamide Zaccheaus or Elijah Moore

Friday, December 12, 3:07 PM

Chicago Bears wide receiver Olamide Zaccheaus (hamstring) upgraded to a full practice on Friday and has been removed from the Week 15 injury report. Zaccheaus will be active on Sunday when the Bears host the Cleveland Browns. The 28-year-old played 79% of the offensive snaps -- his second-highest total of the year -- in last week's loss to the Green Bay Packers and also caught his second touchdown of the season with Rome Odunze (foot) out. However, Zaccheaus only caught two of his three targets for seven yards. There's a chance that Odunze misses another game this weekend (he's questionable) due to a stress fracture in his foot, but Zaccheaus would still be nothing more than a WR5/flex option for fantasy managers in deeper leagues against a decent Browns defense. Zaccheaus hasn't caught more than two passes in a game since Nov. 2. Even without Odunze, Chicago's offense has plenty of weapons for quarterback Caleb Williams.

The Denver Broncos are signing veteran wide receiver Elijah Moore to their practice squad, per Tom Pelissero of NFL Network. Moore was released by the Buffalo Bills in late November. Across nine games with Buffalo this season, the 25-year-old recorded nine catches for 112 yards on 17 targets. Moore posted consecutive 100-plus target seasons in 2023 and 2024 with the Cleveland Browns, but he was never able to gain much traction with the Bills. He'll now get his next opportunity with the Broncos, but Denver's crowded wide receiver room may make it difficult for Moore to make an impact. Broncos wideouts Courtland Sutton, Troy Franklin, Pat Bryant, and Marvin Mims Jr. all played at least 33% of the team's offensive snaps in the team's Week 13 win over the Washington Commanders. Unless there's an injury in Denver, Moore should likely remain off the radar of fantasy managers.
