Who Should I Start? Olamide Zaccheaus or Trey Palmer

Saturday, December 6, 10:13 AM

Chicago Bears wide receiver Olamide Zaccheaus enters Week 14 with an uptick in volume expected. Zaccheaus has been phased out of the Bears' offense as of late, totaling just four receptions for 30 yards in his last four games. With the emergence of rookie receiver Luther Burden III, Zaccheaus has played just 27% of the snaps in the past three games. Now, top target Rome Odunze (foot) has been ruled out for Week 14's game against the Green Bay Packers, which should open up targets for Zaccheaus and the other receivers. There are still concerns surrounding Zaccheaus' outlook this week, including the lack of volume from the offense. Caleb Williams currently ranks 23rd in the NFL in completions this season, which makes it very difficult for Zaccheaus to be an option this week, with his limited workload. While the veteran receiver should be a factor in Green Bay this week, he does not offer enough upside to be a starting option.

The New Orleans Saints have claimed wide receiver Trey Palmer off waivers from the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The 24-year-old was only targeted in the Bucs' third and final preseason game, as he caught one pass for 13 yards. He was a sixth-round pick in 2023 but has caught just 51 passes for 557 yards and four touchdowns over the course of two NFL seasons. After missing out on a roster spot in Tampa Bay, he'll now get a fresh start with the Saints. He'll likely rank near the bottom of the depth chart, competing with the likes of Cedrick Wilson Jr., Mason Tipton, and Devaughn Vele.
