From the article

I've long been a fan of Olamide Zaccheaus, as everyone who has been here a while knows, but the Falcons need alternatives to relying on him. Penix routinely overthrows him even when he's open—which has not been all that often—and he's been a net negative as a punt returner thus far. That's not all his fault by a long shot, but it's probably time to work in more Chris Blair, rely on a third receiver less, or both.

STACKED’s take

Negative signalRole

Zaccheaus's overthrows and punt return struggles make him a net negative option.

Despite the source's long-standing fandom, Zaccheaus has become a liability the Falcons need to move away from. Penix routinely overthrows him even when open (which has not been frequent), and he has been a net negative as a punt returner. The source suggests the Falcons should work in more Chris Blair, rely less on a third receiver, or both to reduce dependence on Zaccheaus.
