Falcons WR Olamide Zaccheaus (shoulder) listed as QUESTIONABLE with limited practice participation.NegativeInjuryOct 22, 2026
Falcons wide receiver Olamide Zaccheaus was limited in practice on Wednesday due to a shoulder injury.NegativeUsageOct 21, 2026
Zaccheaus fielded a kickoff inside the 10 yard line and only picked up 15-20 yards, exemplifying the Falcons' poor return-game decision-making. The source questions whether it's worth fielding a kick inside the 10 when it might bounce into the end zone if you're only going to pick up 15-20 yards.NegativeUsageOct 21, 2026
Zaccheaus has just 4 receptions on 11 targets for 17 yards through this game, significantly underperforming compared to Zachariah Branch who has 9 receptions on 10 targets for 55 yards. Despite being a more dangerous receiving threat, Branch is being outsnapped 144 to 89 snaps, indicating a snap allocation mismatch. The source notes Zaccheaus hasn't been a sparkplug this season and questions whether he needs to be more involved as a pass catcher or cede more playing time to Branch, as he isn't a far-and-away better blocking option either.PositiveBustOct 21, 2026
Zaccheaus had a brutal outing and was a constant negative for the Falcons offense. He's been unreliable as a blocker and hasn't given anyone a reason to trust him as a receiver. Among WRs who've run at least 50 routes in 2026, Zaccheaus has the second-worst Total EPA (-0.92) and EPA/Target (-0.08) per SumerSports. He dropped a 3rd-down conversion on the game's second drive and was later accused by Michael Penix Jr. of giving up on his route. The source concludes Zaccheaus was never cut out to be a WR3 this season and it's time to shrink his snaps.NegativeUsageOct 18, 2026
Zaccheaus was targeted by Penix but had minimal production; he failed to make a diving catch on a low throw in the second quarter and was targeted downfield without success; he did catch a punt return around the 5-yard line and was tackled near the 1-yard line, showing limited offensive involvement.NegativeRoleOct 12, 2026
Zaccheaus played 21 snaps and is running ahead of Branch as WR3, but the source notes that his lack of production and Branch's explosiveness in limited looks may change the depth chart in the weeks ahead.PositiveUsageOct 8, 2026
Zaccheaus is being motioned to the side where the run is directed to create space at the second level, part of the Falcons' nuanced game plan that has helped produce a 60.3% run success rate over the last two weeks.PositiveUsageSep 28, 2026
Zaccheaus received 24 snaps in Week 3 and is chipping away at Jahan Dotson's playing time. Harold Fannin notes the Falcons are experimenting with receiver snap counts, and Zaccheaus is one of the players cutting into Dotson's role.NegativeUsageSep 25, 2026
Olamide Zaccheaus was used in the Falcons' passing game, picking up short completions including a three-yard pass over the middle; he was part of the receiving rotation but did not produce at a high volume.NegativeUsageSep 20, 2026
Zaccheaus was used as a return man and receiver, taking the opening kickoff back to about the 30-yard line and nearly having a very nice return later in the game before getting tripped up. He was targeted on a pass that was a little high and he couldn't get it.NegativeUsageSep 15, 2026
Zaccheaus played 18 snaps on offense in Week 1 as part of the Falcons' five-receiver rotation; all five receivers got on the field for at least ten snaps.NegativeUsageSep 13, 2026
Zaccheaus had limited receiving opportunities for the Falcons, catching a pass from Rush over the middle for five yards late in the second quarter.NegativeRoleAug 29, 2026
Olamide Zaccheaus is a quality rotational option who provides depth in the slot and at returner for the Falcons.NegativeUsageAug 15, 2026
Zaccheaus took the kickoff back to the 31-yard line in preseason Week 1, showing involvement in special teams.PositiveRoleAug 10, 2026
Olamide Zaccheaus has acquitted himself well at slot receiver and generally looked like a solid WR3 option. The source believes he could provide similar value to what Atlanta got out of Ray-Ray McCloud in years past. Zaccheaus is a more polished player at this stage compared to Zachariah Branch, though Branch is more electric.PositiveUsageAug 9, 2026
Wide receiver Olamide Zaccheaus was the recipient of Tua Tagovailoa's best throw of the day, a layered pass that traveled over 35 yards in the air off play action with solid protection, indicating he is involved in the downfield passing game.PositiveRoleAug 5, 2026
Zaccheaus continues to play the WR3 role and has acquitted himself well thus far. He has been targeted and made the most of his opportunities.PositiveUsageAug 4, 2026
Made several nice YAC plays on Day 6. Benefited from short throws from Tua Tagovailoa who was on time and accurate, and also received a 10+ yard completion from Michael Penix Jr.NegativeRoleJul 27, 2026
Olamide Zaccheaus offers some ability as a return specialist alongside Zachariah Branch and Jahan Dotson for the Falcons.
