Who Should I Start? Olamide Zaccheaus or Miles Boykin

Saturday, October 25, 12:03 PM

Chicago Bears wide receiver Olamide Zaccheaus has cooled off after a promising start to the 2025 season. Through six games, Zaccheaus has caught 18 of 31 targets for 152 yards, ranking as the WR83 on a per-game basis. He's operated as the team's WR3, playing 58% of the snaps, ahead of rookie Luther Burden III (26%). However, with Chicago shifting toward a run-heavy approach, Zaccheaus' fantasy value continues to fade. He draws an appealing Week 8 matchup against a Ravens defense that has allowed the sixth-most fantasy points to wide receivers, but he remains too risky to start, especially with Burden starting to carve out a larger role in the offense.

The Chicago Bears have reached an undisclosed agreement with veteran wide receiver Miles Boykin. Ari Meirov of The 33rd Team reported the news. The 28-year-old split last season on the practice squads of the New York Giants and Seattle Seahawks, though he never made his way to the field. Boykin most recently contributed for the Steelers in 2023, appearing in 17 games, recording three catches for 17 yards on four targets. Though his playing time on offense was minuscule for Pittsburgh, he did play 316 snaps for the squad on special teams (70.07%). Boykin joins his fourth NFL team and will compete for the third WR spot behind returning starters DJ Moore and Rome Odunze. However, he'll likely serve as a special teams asset for Chicago.
