Extensive playing time in victory Zaccheaus caught two of five targets for 33 yards in the Bears' 22-16 overtime win over the Packers on Saturday.

Impact Zaccheaus played 86 percent of the snaps with Rome Odunze (foot) and Luther Burden (ankle) sidelined, and he placed second on the team behind DJ Moore in targets. He had seven or fewer receiving yards in five of his previous six contests, but if teammates remain out with injuries, Zaccheaus could be productive down the stretch.

Expanded role on tap Zaccheaus is in line to join DJ Moore as one of Chicago's clear top two wide receivers during Sunday's game against the Packers, with Rome Odunze (foot) and Luther Burden (ankle) b...

Impact Zaccheaus played 82 percent of offensive snaps during Chicago's blowout win over the Browns in Week 15, a contest that saw Odunze ruled out as a late scratch and Burden leave mid-game due to injury. While Zaccheaus couldn't translate his opportunities versus Cleveland into production, failing to haul in any of his three targets, that can be partially attributed to the dominant nature of the Bears' 31-3 victory. In what figures to be a competitive divisional matchup against Green Bay, Zaccheaus should offer a modest fantasy floor, especially in PPR formats.

Inconsistent role continues Zaccheaus did not catch any of three targets in the Bears' 31-3 win over the Browns on Sunday.

Impact Zaccheaus has been held to seven or fewer yards in five of his last six contests while seeing reduced involvement in the offense. With his role diminished behind other receivers, his minimal target volume leaves him as a low-upside depth option in fantasy lineups.

DECEMBER 15 • ROTOWIRE

Ready to face Cleveland Zaccheaus (hamstring) does not carry an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Browns.

Impact Zaccheaus was limited in practice Wednesday and Thursday but upgraded to full activity levels Friday. Meanwhile, Rome Odunze (foot) is officially listed as questionable after having logged a trio of limited practice sessions. If Odunze is unable to play Sunday, Zaccheaus will benefit from an uptick in opportunities on offense.

DECEMBER 12 • ROTOWIRE

Limited in Thursday's session Zaccheaus (hamstring) was a limited practice participant Thursday.

Impact Joining Zaccheaus as a limited practice participant was Rome Odunze (foot), who could be in line to return to action this Sunday against the Browns after sitting out a Week 14 loss to the Packers. Odunze's potential return would likely leave fewer reps to go around for Zaccheaus and rookie wideout Luther Burden, both of whom played north of 70 percent of the Bears' offensive snaps against Green Bay.

DECEMBER 11 • ROTOWIRE

Dealing with hamstring injury Zaccheaus was a limited practice participant Wednesday due to a hamstring injury, Sean Hammond of the Chicago Tribune reports.

Impact Recently demoted to the No. 4 WR role, Zaccheaus filled in for Rome Odunze (heel) during Sunday's 28-21 loss at Green Bay, catching two of three targets for seven yards and a TD while handling a 78 percent snap share and 83 percent route share. Odunze was also a limited practice participant Wednesday, putting Chicago's WR corps in flux ahead of Sunday's home game against the Browns.

DECEMBER 8 • CHICAGOBEARS.COM

Boosts quiet day with TD Zaccheaus caught two of three targets for seven yards and a touchdown in Sunday's Week 14 loss to Green Bay.

Impact Heading into Sunday, it appeared Zaccheaus could play a larger role with Rome Odunze (foot) sidlined, but it was instead Luther Burden who logged a moderate bump in attention and production with a 4-67-0 line on a team-high six targets. With that said, Zaccheaus avoided a near-invisible fantasy score with a touchdown grab from one yard out in the third quarter. Zaccheaus hasn't made more than two catches in a game since Week 9, so he'll remain a very risky fantasy play in Week 15 against Cleveland, especially if Odunze is able to return to action.

CAN'T-MISS HIGHLIGHT: Caleb Williams rifles perfect TD throw to Olamide Zaccheaus Bears quarterback Caleb Williams hits receiver Olamide Zaccheaus in the end zone for a 1-yard touchdown.

DECEMBER 7 • CHICAGOBEARS.COM

Could have bigger role Week 14 Zaccheaus may be in line more targets Sunday versus Green Bay with Rome Odunze (foot) ruled out, Courtney Cronin of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Zaccheaus began the season promisingly with four catches for 42 yards against Minnesota in Week 1, but he's surpassed that yardage total just once since. Over his past four games, he's been almost entirely a non-factor with just four total catches on eight targets for 30 yards. However, Odunze's absence should open up more opportunities for multiple Bears pass catchers, including wideouts Zaccheaus, Luther Burden and DJ Moore as well as tight ends Colston Loveland and Cole Kmet. With that being said, the Packers rank in the top half leaguewide in most categories versus wide receivers, so Chicago's struggling passing game could be challenged to produce.

DECEMBER 6 • ROTOWIRE

Continues limited role Zaccheaus caught two of three targets for 19 yards in the Bears' 24-15 win over the Eagles on Friday.

Impact After posting at least 30 yards in each of the Bears' first nine games, Zaccheaus was passed on the depth chart by Luther Burden in Week 11. Over those last three games, Zaccheaus is averaging 19 snaps, one reception and eight yards. Unless the veteran sees an increase in opportunity, his fantasy value will remain limited.

NOVEMBER 29 • ROTOWIRE

Minimal role in passing game Zaccheaus caught one pass for six yards on one target in the Bears' 31-28 win over the Steelers on Sunday.

Impact Zaccheaus has been held to five or fewer yards in three straight contests and saw only one target in Week 12. With Luther Burden now operating ahead of him in three-receiver sets, Zaccheaus' reduced usage leaves him as a deep-league depth option.

NOVEMBER 24 • ROTOWIRE

Plays just 10 offensive snaps Zaccheaus wasn't targeted in the Bears' win over the Vikings on Sunday.

Impact Zaccheaus played a season-low 10 offensive snaps against Minnesota, as rookie Luther Burden matched his season-high with 33 snaps. It appears as if Burden has finally passed Zaccheaus on the depth chart for WR3 duties in Chicago alongside Rome Odunze and DJ Moore. Zaccheaus carries very minimal fantasy value while those three are healthy.

Production dips in victory Zaccheaus caught one pass for five yards on four targets in the Bears' 24-20 win over the Giants on Sunday.

Impact Zaccheaus has at least four targets in five of nine contests this season but has been held to 42 or fewer yards in all but one of those games. His steady volume but modest yardage keeps him in the deeper-league flex mix when managers need target-based floor plays.

Finds end zone on eight targets Zaccheaus caught six passes for 58 yards and one touchdown on eight targets in the Bears' 47-42 win over the Bengals on Sunday.

Impact Zaccheaus scored his first touchdown of the season and led Chicago with eight targets in this game. He profiles as a top-60 receiver while drawing four-plus looks in all but one game this season, but the receiver has just one game with more than 42 yards.

HIGHLIGHT: Olamide Zaccheaus speeds for 15-yard TD Bears receiver Olamide Zaccheaus takes the pop pass from quarterback Caleb Williams and races 15 yards for a touchdown.

NOVEMBER 2 • CHICAGOBEARS.COM

Cleared to play Zaccheaus (knee) doesn't carry an injury designation into Sunday's game against the Bengals, Courtney Cronin of ESPN.com reports.

Impact With Luther Burden (concussion) out, Zaccheaus should see the bulk of the WR3 snaps behind Rome Odunze and D.J. Moore. The matchup is good, but Zaccheaus hasn't seen enough target volume to warrant fantasy lineup consideration outside of daily fantasy contests.

Puts in limited practice Zaccheaus (knee) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice.

Impact Coming out of a Week 8 loss to the Ravens in which he recorded a season-high seven catches (for 33 yards), Zaccheaus was one of four Chicago receivers who appeared on the team's initial Week 9 injury report. Zaccheaus' ability to get back on the field a day later -- albeit in a limited fashion -- is an encouraging sign that his knee injury isn't overly significant, though he may still need to upgrade to full participation in Friday's practice to avoid carrying a questionable tag into Sunday's game in Cincinnati.

OCTOBER 30 • ROTOWIRE

No practice Wednesday Zaccheaus (knee) was a non-participant at Wednesday's practice.

Impact The Bears' top four wide receivers all logged DNPs to begin Week 9 prep: also, Rome Odunze (heel), DJ Moore (hip/groin) and Luther Burden (concussion). On Monday, coach Ben Johnson termed Zaccheaus "day-to-day" due to a knee injury, per Scott Bair of Marquee Sports Network, so he seemingly has a good chance to mix into drills before week's end. Nevertheless, Chicago's situation at the position bears watching in the coming days to see who may be available Sunday in Cincinnati.
