Who Should I Start? Olamide Zaccheaus or Van Jefferson

Friday, December 12, 3:07 PM

Chicago Bears wide receiver Olamide Zaccheaus (hamstring) upgraded to a full practice on Friday and has been removed from the Week 15 injury report. Zaccheaus will be active on Sunday when the Bears host the Cleveland Browns. The 28-year-old played 79% of the offensive snaps -- his second-highest total of the year -- in last week's loss to the Green Bay Packers and also caught his second touchdown of the season with Rome Odunze (foot) out. However, Zaccheaus only caught two of his three targets for seven yards. There's a chance that Odunze misses another game this weekend (he's questionable) due to a stress fracture in his foot, but Zaccheaus would still be nothing more than a WR5/flex option for fantasy managers in deeper leagues against a decent Browns defense. Zaccheaus hasn't caught more than two passes in a game since Nov. 2. Even without Odunze, Chicago's offense has plenty of weapons for quarterback Caleb Williams.

Tennessee Titans wide receiver Van Jefferson exited the Titans' Week 15 matchup against the San Francisco 49ers in the second half due to a back injury. Jefferson hauled in one catch for 43 yards on five targets before leaving the game. The 29-year-old has shown flashes this season and has been a reliable target for rookie quarterback Cameron Ward at times during the year. The Titans have already battled injuries this season in their receiver room after losing Calvin Ridley for the season to a leg injury. Jefferson's status for their Week 16 matchup against the Kansas City Chiefs will be monitored as the team heads into the next week of practice.
