Who Should I Start? Olamide Zaccheaus or Trenton Irwin

Washington Commanders wide receiver Olamide Zaccheaus caught five of his eight targets for 70 yards and two scores during their victory over the Philadelphia Eagles. Zaccheaus did most of his damage in the fourth quarter. He caught a four yard TD pass from Jayden Daniels in the opening minutes of the quarter and would then go on to tally an impressive 49-yard TD reception a few minutes after. Zaccheaus' yards and targets paced all other Washington wideouts this afternoon. With Noah Brown (kidney) on the injured reserve, fantasy managers should continue to expect Zaccheaus to have an increased role in the Washington passing attack. He should be in a good position to keep his momentum rolling in Week 17, facing the Atlanta Falcons who have allowed the fifth-most PPR points to opposing wide receivers this season.

The Carolina Panthers signed veteran wide receiver Trenton Irwin on Tuesday, according to NFL.com. The former Cincinnati Bengal will start on the practice squad, but the belief is he will join the active roster in short order. The 29-year-old has hauled in 46 receptions for 601 yards and five touchdowns in 40 career games and was recently let go by the Bengals. The Panthers have a thin wide receiver group behind Adam Thielen and Xavier Legette, so don't rule Irwin out of making an impact over the next four games. That said, it would be surprising if he entered the fantasy football radar.
