2023 Fantasy Outlook
Zaccheaus' numbers have improved in each of his four years in the NFL, resulting in a trio of touchdowns and career highs in targets (61), receptions (40) and receiving yards (533) last season. Each of those marks ranked second on the Falcons behind Drake London, but Zacchaeus departed for the Eagles in free agency this offseason. The move means Zaccheaus will be competing with Quez Watkins for the third receiver job, a role worth less in Philadelphia than most places due to the presence of A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith. Watkins caught just 33 passes as the team's third wideout in 2022, while since departed fourth option Zach Pascal had just 15 catches. Read Past Outlooks

Moving on to Washington
WRWashington Commanders
March 28, 2024
Zaccheaus has agreed to a deal with the Commanders, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.
ANALYSIS
In his only campaign with the Eagles, Zaccheaus (who caught 40 passes with the Falcons in 2022) finished the 2023 regular season with 10 catches for 164 yards and two TDs in 17 games. With the Commanders, the 26-year-old will add depth to a wideout corps that is currently led by Terry McLaurin and Jahan Dotson. In that context, Zaccheaus has some bounce-back potential if he can carve out steady snaps in 2024 behind the team's top duo.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Set to compete for No. 3 role
WRPhiladelphia Eagles
April 19, 2023
Zaccheaus, who agreed to a contract with the Eagles on Wednesday, should have a chance to secure Philadelphia's No. 3 receiver role, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
ANALYSIS
Zaccheaus carved out a progressively bigger role in Atlanta over his first four seasons after latching on with the organization as an undrafted free agent out of Virginia in 2019, topping out at 40 receptions for 533 yards and three touchdowns across 17 games in 2022. In Philadelphia, the 25-year-old could have a chance to unseat current third receiver Quez Watkins, who saw a downturn in production last season compared to 2021.

Past Fantasy Outlooks

2020
2019
With Calvin Ridley away from the team in 2021, Zaccheaus saw the best breakout opportunity of his career, but aside from a two-touchdown performance Week 9, he failed to make a lasting impression. After the NFL handed down a season-long suspension for Ridley and Russell Gage left in free agency this offseason, Zaccheaus was slated to be the No. 1 wideout before Atlanta made numerous moves to address its pass-catching corps. First-round pick Drake London and trade acquisition Bryan Edwards could man the top-2 wideout spots for the team to begin the year, while Zaccheaus may find himself in competition with Auden Tate to be the main slot man. However, even if Zaccheaus wins the role, it remains to be seen how many mouths a Marcus Mariota-led offense can feed.
A 2019 undrafted free agent, Zaccheaus has demonstrated some big-play potential for the Falcons, with three catches of 40-plus yards among his 23 career receptions. He's averaged 10.5 yards per target through two seasons, but he's also needed injuries to one of two star wideouts to make an impact. Before a toe injury sidelined him for the final five games of 2020, Zaccheaus' two biggest efforts - 8-86-0 in Week 4 and 4-103-1 in Week 9 - came when Jones missed most of the former and when Ridley was inactive for the latter. Even if Atlanta ends up acquiescing to Jones' trade request, Zaccheaus will be firmly behind Ridley, Russell Gage and stud rookie tight end Kyle Pitts in the pecking order for targets.
Zaccheaus is slotted into Atlanta's No. 4 wide receiver role to begin the season, after overcoming Christian Blake and 2016 No. 23 overall pick Laquon Treadwell to secure the gig. Zaccheaus lit up the stat sheet late in his collegiate career at Virginia, and he now plays for an NFL offense that is fresh off a No. 1 ranking in pass attempts (684). The issue is, of course, that with Julio Jones, Calvin Ridley and Russell Gage already firmly planted in prominent roles on the depth chart, Zaccheaus remains a long shot to provide sustainable fantasy utility in 2020. Furthermore, down the stretch of 2019 it was Blake and Justin Hardy who split the No. 4 role after Mohamed Sanu's midseason trade to New England, while Zaccheaus was less involved offensively.
Zaccheaus was an absolute production monster over the latter half of his career at Virginia, piecing together back-to-back seasons of 1,000 offensive yards in 2017 and 2018, while scoring six-plus touchdowns over each of his final three seasons with the Cavaliers. He went unselected in April's draft, but with a number of acrobatic catches in the preseason made enough of an impression with the Falcons coaching staff to secure a spot on the 53-man roster. During his rookie campaign Zaccheaus will serve as Atlanta's No. 5 or 6 wide receiver, while taking on a prominent special teams role.
