Olamide Zaccheaus to Serve as Emergency Third QB, RB

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.

Isaiah Williams Needs More Consistent Opportunities

Saturday, October 17, 7:57 AM

New York Jets wide receiver Isaiah Williams has provided a few explosive plays this season, but his limited receiving involvement makes him a difficult fantasy option heading into Week 6. His best performance came against Chicago in Week 4, when he caught two passes for 73 yards and a touchdown, including a 58-yard scoring reception. Williams followed that outing with just one catch for 16 yards against Cleveland, despite Adonai Mitchell remaining unavailable. He has 11 receptions for 151 yards and a touchdown through five games, illustrating the occasional upside but also the lack of dependable volume. Mitchell (finger) has been ruled out again, although rookie Omar Cooper Jr. could return from injured reserve and compete for opportunities against New England. Williams remains a speculative deep-league flex option whose fantasy production depends heavily on making the most of limited touches.
