As of week 7, Olamide Zaccheaus was a WR for ATL, age 29.1, 7 seasons of experience. In 2026 through week 6 he was listed at depth rank 3 on his club's depth chart; he had played 6 games on 39% of snaps; his line was 2.8 receiving yards a game, 1.8 targets a game and a 7.3% target share (Possession receiver by the published rule). Before 2026 he played 111 games (postseason included) over 7 seasons. His injury history held 7 episodes (hamstring 3, knee 2, hip 1), 3 a repeat of an earlier site; the last was an illness injury in 2025 week 18.

The full read

In short

Olamide Zaccheaus is a starter at punt returner for ATL — 55% of the snaps in his best week of 6. His team named him inactive in week 7. His team has not listed him on the final report. We called him PLAY in week 7 and he did not play.

The reader concurs · grade C

The only club document in hand is the Wednesday Oct 21 report, which lists Zaccheaus as a limited participant with a shoulder issue (P1) — precisely the practice axis the model's cell already assumes, so nothing written contradicts the PLAY call. P1 is a practice-participation document only: it carries no Out/Doubtful/Questionable game-status designation for the Oct 25 game, so there is no written basis to overturn the call in either direction. He is grouped with nine other limited participants including starters like A.J. Terrell and Brian Robinson (P1), which is the ordinary mid-week maintenance pattern rather than a flag of a game-threatening injury. It would need to know: Falcons' Thursday Oct 22 practice report — whether Zaccheaus's shoulder goes full, stays limited, or drops to DNP; Falcons' Friday Oct 23 practice report and the final Week 7 game-status designation (Out/Doubtful/Questionable/none) for Sun 25 Oct; Raheem Morris or Falcons beat-writer comment on the severity/timeline of Zaccheaus's shoulder; Game-day inactives list for Sun 25 Oct; Status of WR Beaux Collins (hip, P1) and the rest of the ATL receiver room, which affects whether a third-string WR is needed
