Who Should I Start? Olamide Zaccheaus or Jamari Thrash

Chicago Bears wide receiver Olamide Zaccheaus caught one of two targets for 36 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 38-0 win over the Buffalo Bills. Zaccheaus capped off a seven-play 92-yard drive with a long touchdown catch from quarterback Caleb Williams. The veteran receiver signed a one-year deal with the Chicago Bears this offseason and has made some big plays in both training camp and the preseason. Zaccheaus is currently listed as the WR3 in the Bears' unofficial depth chart and could be a flier in deeper leagues with potential to provide some early-season production as rookie wide receiver Luther Burden III learns the offense.

ESPN's Daniel Oyefusi writes that Cleveland Browns wide receiver Jamari Thrash, who caught only three passes as a rookie in 2024 after being taken in the fifth round, took advantage of opportunities in an unproven receiver room during offseason workouts and established himself as a reliable option in the passing game. "He's had a really strong spring," head coach Kevin Stefanski said. "He is here all the time working on his body. Very intelligent player, can line up in multiple positions which I think is valuable. And then he showed up, he's caught the ball well and you know the quarterbacks like how he gets open. He finds a way to get open versus zone, versus man." Since the 24-year-old isn't really an option on special teams, he's going to need to continue standing out in training camp and the preseason to win a spot on the 53-man roster heading into the regular season.
