Who Should I Start? Olamide Zaccheaus or Tai Felton

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.

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Tai Felton is still searching for his first offensive snap as Minnesota prepares to take on the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 3. The rookie from Maryland has seen the field, but exclusively on special teams, even as Minnesota has needed extra help at receiver with Jordan Addison (suspension) out for the first three games. It's not a great sign for either Felton or the Vikings, who passed on receiver Elic Ayomanor and running backs Cam Skattebo and Bhayshul Tuten, among others, to select Felton in the third round. Felton is a safe drop in redraft leagues, but still a possible taxi-squad stash in dynasty formats.
