Washington Commanders wide receiver Olamide Zaccheaus had a disappointing showing last weekend but should be poised for a bounce back showing in Detroit on Saturday night. Last weekend, Zaccheaus caught all three of his targets for a mere 19 yards. However, during his previous three games (Weeks 16 through 18), Zacchaeus averaged an impressive 68.7 yards per game and scored three touchdowns. While Dyami Brown (hamstring) has returned from his injury and should continue to have a role in the starting lineup, fantasy managers should expect Zaccheaus to return to form in a potential high-scoring affair in Detroit. Zacchaeus is a viable WR3 play in DFS, as the Lions have allowed the second-most PPR points per game to opposing wideouts.

Washington Commanders wide receiver Olamide Zaccheaus had a quiet showing during their wild-card victory over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. In this game, Zaccheaus brought in all three of his targets for just 19 yards. His three targets were the lowest among other Washington wide receivers. The 27-year-old found a role in the passing attack late in the season with Noah Brown (kidney) on the injured reserve. During the final three weeks of the season, Zaccheaus averaged a solid 68.7 yards per game and found the end zone three times but hit a skid in the wild-card game. Zaccheaus should have a good opportunity to bounce back next Saturday evening, facing a struggling Detroit secondary that has allowed the second-most PPR points to opposing wideouts this season.

Washington Commanders wide receiver Olamide Zaccheaus is an intriguing value play in DFS formats this weekend, facing the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Since Noah Brown (kidney) has been placed on the injured reserve, Zaccheaus has grown into the No.2 wide receiver over the past four weeks. During this span, Zaccheaus has seen a solid 6.5 targets per game and averaged 15.3 PPR points per game. After tallying just 36 yards in Week 15, he averaged an impressive 68.7 yards per game over the final three games of the season. During this three-game stint, he found the end zone three times. Facing a Tampa Bay secondary that has allowed the seventh-most PPR points to opposing wideouts makes Zaccheaus a strong value play in DFS formats this weekend.

Chicago Bears wide receiver Rome Odunze had a disappointing game in Sunday's 24-22 win over the Green Bay Packers. The rookie receiver struggled for productivity, as he had only two receptions for 18 yards on the day. The game marked Odunze's eighth game this season with two or fewer receptions as he capped his rookie campaign with his second straight game with under 20 yards receiving. The 22-year-old receiver had an up-and-down season, finishing the year with 54 receptions for 734 yards and three touchdowns across 17 games. Depending on who the Bears bring in to call the shots, though, Odunze may enter the 2025 season with a leap forward to a solid second option for the Bears.

The Chicago Bears running back D'Andre Swift saw plenty of chances out of the backfield in Week 18's 24-22 victory over the Green Bay Packers. The 25-year-old rusher saw 20 rushing attempts, though he was inefficient with those opportunities as he accumulated only 65 rushing yards. Swift added a rushing touchdown in his game, which helped bolster his production. Swift was targeted twice but was unable to reel in both targets. The former Georgia Bulldog played every game in 2024, a first in his career, and saw at least 10 touches in each game for the Bears. Swift had his least efficient, though most involved, season in his career as he had 253 carries for 959 rushing yards and six rushing touchdowns while hauling in 42 receptions for 386 receiving yards on the year. Swift has a solid opportunity to continue to build on his touches in 2025, depending on who the head coach will be for the Bears.
