Who Should I Start? Olamide Zaccheaus or Keandre Lambert-Smith

Monday, November 3, 10:32 PM

Chicago Bears wide receiver Olamide Zaccheaus had his best game of the season in his team's 47-42 Week 9 win over the Cincinnati Bengals, recording six catches for 58 yards and a touchdown on eight targets. The 28-year-old has now hauled in 31 receptions for 243 yards and a score on 46 targets. Most notably, 15 of Zaccheaus' targets have come over the last two weeks. That uptick in production appears to be directly linked to the absence of Luther Burden III (concussion), who suffered a concussion early in Week 8 and was sidelined in Week 9. If Burden III remains sidelined in Week 10 for Chicago's matchup against the New York Giants, Zaccheaus could once again play a key role in his team's offense. Zaccheaus should be a waiver-wire target for fantasy managers in PPR-scoring leagues with 12 or more teams.

Los Angeles Chargers rookie wide receiver Keandre Lambert-Smith is a healthy scratch for his team's Week 3 matchup with the Denver Broncos, per The Athletic's Daniel Popper. Lambert-Smith has not recorded an NFL catch and saw just one target across the Chargers' first two games of 2025. He's currently buried on the Chargers depth chart at wide receiver behind Ladd McConkey, Keenan Allen, Quentin Johnston, Derius Davis, and fellow rookie Tre' Harris. Lambert-Smith should remain off the radar of fantasy managers in redraft leagues.
