1. Olamide Zaccheaus

Olamide was clearly Atlanta’s second receiver for the 2022 season ending the season with 533 receiving yards and 3 touchdowns. Totals are more impressive than at first glance when you consider the offense Olamide spent the season playing in. Zaccheaus and Drake London were the only consistent targets for the Falcons with Kyle Pitts and Mariota never getting on the same page before the season-ending injury.

Re-signing Zaccheaus wouldn’t be at all surprising when you consider Atlanta is going to need to add at least 3-4 receivers this off-season. Their current starters would be Drake London, Frank Darby, and 2022 preseason favorite Jared Bernhardt. Bernhardt is yet to make a catch and Darby has played very limited snaps.

Atlanta is going to have to add experience and depth to the position this off-season. Bringing back Olamide as the third or fourth option at the position would be a solid move and one well within Atlanta’s price range looking at the receiver market. Olamide re-signing makes sense for both sides and will likely happen early this off-season.
