2026 Fantasy Outlook
Zaccheaus is back in Atlanta, where he previously played from 2019 to 2022, under the Dan Quinn and Arthur Smith regimes. He spent 2025 in Chicago, mostly serving as the No. 3 receiver until Luther Burden took the role away late in the season. Zaccheaus finished with a 39-313-3 receiving line, not quite matching his 45-506-3 line from 2024 in Washington. He's largely made his NFL living from the slot, where he'll now compete for a role in Atlanta, with not much hope of big-time target volume. Zaccheaus has topped 50 targets and 300 yards in a season four times, but he's never gone any higher than 65 targets or 533 yards. In any case, the Falcons already have RB Bijan Robinson, WR Drake London and TE Kyle Pitts to handle the bulk of their offensive volume. Read Past Outlooks
RANKS
Signed a two-year, $4.5 million contract with the Falcons in March of 2026.Zaccheaus failed to haul in his lone target during the Falcons' 45-24 win over the Saints on Monday.
ANALYSIS
The Falcons relied more heavily on the running game Monday, with Michael Penix attempting only 20 passes while Bijan Robinson and Brian Robinson combined for 203 yards and five touchdowns on 33 carries. That left few targets to go around for the Falcons' pass catchers, with none other than Drake London (six) seeing more than three targets from quarterback Michael Penix. Zaccheaus' 21 offensive snaps were third-most among Falcons wide receivers behind London (51) and Jahan Dotson (36). However, despite entering the season as the team's WR3, Zaccheaus has just four catches (on seven targets) for 17 yards through the first four games of the regular season, and rookie wideout Zachariah Branch has seemingly taken over as Atlanta's primary returner on kickoffs and special teams. Up next for the Falcons is a Week 5 home showdown against the Ravens.

2019
Zaccheaus will be on his third team in as many seasons in 2024 after catching 10 passes in 17 games for the Eagles last year and ultimately failing to unseat Quez Watkins from the No. 3 role. The 27-year-old might have another chance to compete for No. 3 status in Washington, where the Commanders otherwise appear to have Luke McCaffrey and Dyami Brown competing for regular roles behind top receiver Terry McLaurin. It was only two years ago that Zaccheaus caught 40 passes for 533 yards as a 13-game starter for Atlanta, but he probably profiles best as a fourth or fifth receiver.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Set for larger role Saturday
Zaccheaus is expected to get more opportunities Saturday against the Packers, as fellow Bears wide receivers Rome Odunze and Luther Burden have been ruled out.
ANALYSIS
Odunze will miss a third consecutive game due to a foot injury, while Burden will sit out for only the second time in his career due to an ankle injury, with the rookie's first absence having come back in Week 9. Zaccheaus is likely to operate as the No. 2 wide receiver behind DJ Moore in Week 16, with Devin Duvernay and Jahdae Walker rounding out the depth chart.
