Olamide Zaccheaus News
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.

Miles Boykin News
Thursday, February 12, 1:43 PM
Veteran wide receiver Miles Boykin has announced his retirement from playing football. Boykin was the Ravens' third-round pick out of Notre Dame in 2019. His first two pro seasons were the best of his career as he totaled 32 catches, 464 yards, and seven touchdowns. However, he peaked as the overall WR99 in PPR leagues in 2020, and he never returned to the top 185 receivers after that. After three seasons in Baltimore, he spent two in Pittsburgh. He also spent part of 2024 with the Seahawks and part of 2025 with the Bears, but he never appeared in a game for either organization. The 29-year-old is now hanging up his cleats and said (via Instagram) that he's "excited for this new chapter in my life."
